NOTES:
- I copied the template from a previous spreadsheet but found myself deleting the "G" and "A" columns because they were both empty. Sigh.
- In general I tend to follow things closely, but entering the name "Jérémy Gagnon-Laparé" was the first time I remember seeing it at all. Jackson Farmer falls in the same boat.
- If Adam Straith and Nik Ledgerwood, both who can be useful players, are among the top minute-earners in 2014, we might be waiting a while longer for the next win.
- Similarly, if Tosaint Ricketts is pulling the most time at forward, the goal drought will continue. But are there better options?
- Interestingly, the keeper minutes were about as evenly distributed as they could be with 3 guys over the case of 5 matches: 180 for Lars Hirschfeld, and a game-and-a-half each (135) for Kenny Stamatopoulos and Milan Borjan.

Jono,
A look at the weekly Canadians Abroad thread on the Vees forum will tell you that we have very, very few bona fide international calibre players right now. We deserve our triple digit FIFA ranking, regardless of how you have to take such rankings with a pinch of salt.
Too many chicken feathers that too many supporters think Floro will turn into a semblance of a chicken salad. And as for the current emphasis on the younger prospects, I'll wager that a fair number of the more heralded ones right now will be non factors in 2 years time.
Pretty depressing :(

It is looking pretty dire. I do think if we had our best squad together for most of last year's matches (and for me, that still includes guys like De Guzman, De Rosario, MIA Johnson, even the retired McKenna) we would have won at least one, or scored a goal.
But there is a missing generation of decent players between 22-27, and apart from Teibert and Osorio and Henry, nobody younger than that who I would put money on gaining more than 20 NT caps over the course of a career. Even those three could become fixtures without reaching the level of a Hutchinson or DeVos, merely because the pool is so shallow.
I do think the situation would be even more hopeless if we still had a guy like Hart in charge. With the current talent pool, reaching the hex in 2017 would be a massive accomplishment.
