Canada lost 3-0 in a totally meaningless game with this lineup:
- Lars HIRSCHFELD (GK)
- Adrian CANN
- Andre HAINAULT
- Nik LEDGERWOOD
- Paul STALTERI (C) (-65')
- Chris POZNIAK
- Will JOHNSON
- Charles GBEKE
- Marcel DE JONG
- Kevin HARMSE
- Issey NAKAJIMA-FARRAN (-69')
That was our lineup preparing for the next cycle. No new callups and basically no youth. Sorry except Gbeke who was already 30. |
Well, I dunno, Hainault was 22 and Johnson and de Jong were 21. And all 3 will be around for the next cycle.
I think it is imperative that this team cap as many young players as possible during Gold Cup 2013. Get guys who are on the fence like Keven Aleman and Michal Misiewicz cap tied and build around them.
