Even though he hasn’t played in Canada’s last 12 games doesn’t mean he isn’t qualified – he has captained the national team before on July 9, 2005 at the Gold Cup and on January 22, 2006 in a friendly.  Both matches were against the US and neither resulted in a win (the first was a 2-0 loss and the second was a draw).

Canada should have a slight edge over Jamaica as they are ranked 56th in the world compared with the Caribbean nation’s 81st place standing.
