Canada announces roster for Czech Republic and Slovenia friendlies By Steven Sandor Posted on November 8, 2013 1 0 828 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Benito Floro Karl Ouimette will have the chance to earn his first national-team cap. The inclusion of the Montreal Impact defender was the most notable item on national team coach Benito Floro’s roster for friendlies against the Czech Republic (Nov. 15) and Slovenia (Nov. 19). The roster, announced Friday, also features three unattached players — all-time Canadian leading scorer Dwayne De Rosario, who had his contract option declined by D.C. United last week, Issey Nakajima-Farran and Stefan Cebara. “From here to the first official games [qualifying matches], it’s important to focus on our level of play,” said Floro in a release issued by the Canadian Soccer Association. “It is necessary to pay attention in how we defend and attack so for me the best result is to take it step by step to improve our level.” Canada will base its training camp in Austria, before and in between games.
