are in there at TSN tonight because the 26-man roster will be revealed for Canada.
Who's going to be representing the country going to the World Cup?
What kind of roster is Jesse Marsh putting together?
And a man that has done more mock rosters than anyone probably in the history of the profession joins us now.
Here's our TSN reporter.
Football analyst.
There he is, Stephen Caldwell.
You ready for the real thing tonight, Stephen?
I love it.
I love it.
So are you expecting any shocks tonight?
I guess we'll start there with all your predictions and all the different moving parts and injuries that you have to handle or possibly predict.
How routine, quote-unquote, do you think this actually will be once we get through it tonight?
Well, obviously we're aware of the biggest injury of them all being Alphonso Davies, and he will be a part of the squad.
But how do you anticipate Jesse Marsh to...
possibly build out his roster with the fact that it's unknown exactly how much Davies can play and if he'll be able to play at all.
How does that affect what Marsh might do tonight?
So put yourself in the shoes of Jesse Marsh, and when you're building out your roster, are you building with the thought of the group stage competition, or are you thinking more from a macro standpoint of, like, if we're going to win the World Cup, as far-fetched as that might be, we've got to think about different nations we might face down the line here.
Like, how short-sighted is the roster build compared to maybe β
you know, the larger scheme of things and maybe going deeper into the tournament?
