Fleming has seen it before. When the U-17s went down to Panama in 2012 for preparation matches, training times were switched and, funny, the air conditioning in the Canadian dressing room was out of order.

And that means Canada and Jamaica could be playing in forecasted temperatures of 33 C — and that’s before the humidity.

The FC Edmonton midfielder showed us all why his club's brain trust deemed him ready for a move to the pros and promoted him to the senior side, even though the midfielder is just 16 years of age.

Canada got the goals it needed in Panama and the back line didn’t allow too much to trouble keeper Marco Carducci.

But midfielder Jose Lopez, whose name didn’t appear on the 23-man preliminary roster released last week, is on the final list of 20.

Six members of the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency and five players from TFC Academy are featured on coach Sean Fleming’s pre-tournament roster ahead of the CONCACAF U-20 Championships.

“The sad thing about not going to the World Cup is the fact that we don’t get five extra games now — including two CONCACAF games and then the three guaranteed (at the World Cup),” said Dasovic

They’re our rivals so everyone’s going to be psyched,” said Clarke, who converted Ben Fisk’s corner kick in the first half and John Dollery’s cross in the second. “I’m pumped for the game. I think it will be a really great game. We beat them already in Spain and I definitely think we can beat them again.”

All Canada will need to do is get a draw with Nicaragua Friday to get into the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF U-20 Championship.

In the first half, the Canadian U-20s didn’t take their chances. In the second half, they were simply taken to the cleaners.
