MANITOBA, Canada—Today, Canada Soccer and head coach John Herdman announced the Canadian Men’s National Team’s 23-man squad for this month’s(!) Concacaf Gold Cup, and they certainly showed that they are not messing around. While other nations may be entering the Gold Cup with one eye towards this fall’s World Cup qualifiers, Herdman and Co. have selected the strongest possible squad they can at this time.
The strong squad features a mix of youth and experience, with 12 players in the squad having Gold Cup experience and several others with vast international experience to go along with the newer faces in the squad.
