CANADIAN MNT ANNOUNCES SQUAD FOR CYPRUS (IMHOFF AND SIDRA ADDED)
by Al Clark

With the withdrawl of Marcel de Jong due to club commitments, Canada has called up Dominic Imhoff (not Daniel) and former U23 player Eddy Sidra of Cottbus Reserves. Both call ups are a surprise, but the inclusion of Sidra is both a surprise and a welcome development. It's good to see this squad is giving a chance to youngsters rather than trotting out ageing players who are past their usefulness to the MNT. That's not to say their contributions in the past have not been appreciated - they have - but the fact is soccer will always be about passing the torch and bringing through the next generation. Of the 18 players in the final roster, all are "Canucks Abroad" with only Hemming playing in North America, with USL1 Charleston.
