Very surprised that Sutton, Radzinski and Stalteri weren't called up.
Perhaps someone can speak to Canadian Tamandani Nsaliwa who just today signed a big contract with AEK Athens.
AEK is Champions League bound and there is talk they are adding Rivaldo to an already solid roster. They beat AC Milan earlier this year 1-0 in Athens before over 70,000 fans.
I'm not certain how good Nsaliwa is, but he is going to a solid club on a 400,000 Euros transfer and a 300,000 Euro salary. That's more than any TFC player is earning.

that website just chopped off the last part of the alphabet from a larger list the US submitted. So those guys may have been on a 30+ man Canadian list and the website just kept their names off. Seems to be the trend for many of the nations.
(1) Sutton & Stalteri were added today. That is very good news for Tam.
(2) Yeah sounds like it was a list of potential candidates up for slection. I noticed the site added several players today including Stalteri & Sutton.
