Friendly match that will face Scotland in Scotland against the selection of Canada.

Scotland

Scotland are preparing for the World Cup qualifying match against Slovenia while Canada seems to be coming on a European holiday in the middle of a distant preparation for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The motivations and location in the match calendar, determine the interesting of this pick.

The Scotland squad is presented for this match with their gala team. Strachan has called for the best players of the Caledonian squad that are presented with a team formed by players of the British leagues, especially of the first and second division English and of the most leading clubs of Scotland (like Rangers or Celtic). It is dominated by Scottish football referents like Steven and Darren Flechter, Naismith, Rhodes, Robert Snodgrass, Ikechi Anya … they have a very acceptable team for the match that will be played in this match. On the other hand, Strachan has indicated that Celtic players will not play Glasgow to give them rest. In any case, it does not represent a significant drop in the level of selection.

Scotland is not a selection that shines excessively in Europe. However, despite having a football anchored in the Stone Age, they have a level sufficient to prevail to middle level selections of confederations like the CONCACAF. Canada, by contrast, is a very weak team that progressed from the hand of Benito Floro and his ultradefensive style but is in a phase of renewal. Outside of the hexagonal friendly dispute of preparation for the Gold Cup, as the last before the selection of Bermuda to which he won with much suffering by 2-4 and with an equipment infinitely superior to the one that will present in Edinburgh.

I hope that Scotland can easily impose itself on a very poor Canadian team that in normal circumstances should already be much lower than the British. In this sense, I still see value in this quota that should go down even more. To give us an idea of ​​what Canada has to offer, two of the players that will be in the game against Scotland were not undisputed starters in the Galician third division factory. That is the level that will be measured against Premier players.

Canada

Canada seems to have come to try new things and gain experience for new players, but without their best equipment (something that would already be inferior to the Scottish set). The coach Zambrano has decided to leave aside many of the players of the MLS, the bulk of the selection, and bet on young players from very low level European teams. In this sense, we find players who are playing in lower divisions American, Hungarian league, second division Scottish, divisions below the second English … and even the Izarra. Only 4-5 players have an experience and an international level sufficient to dispute this match.
