While we await the official announcement of Stephen Hart's 22-man squad, which is expected Thursday, I'll be keeping a list of players already confirmed via other sources.
| Pos | Name | Club | Age | Caps | Goals | Source |
| F | Simeon Jackson | Norwich | 25 | 26 | 6 | [source] |
| D | David Edgar | Burnley | 23 | 8 | 0 | [source] |
| M/F | Issey Nakajima-Farran | Brisbane Roar | 27 | 24 | 1 | [source]* |
| D | Ashtone Morgan | Toronto FC | 21 | 2 | 0 | [source]* |
| D | Andre Hainault | Houston Dynamo | 25 | 24 | 2 | [source] |
| M | Pedro Pacheco | Houston Dynamo | 27 | 5 | 0 | [source] |
I am loath to cite a player's twitter feed as a source (as is the case with Nakajima-Farran) but it is hardly as though I would suffer much from loss of credibility. Same goes for a poster on the Voyageurs who claims a "reliable source" (Morgan), even if said poster is typically on the mark.
By the way, I'm cribbing most of this news from a similarly-themed thread over at the Voyageurs board.

Those are the beginnings of a great backline.
I think Pacheco gets his call ups because Fonseca must lobby hard for him yet the guy couldn't beat out Dunfield for a starting place in the last GC.
Hainault is probably solid defensively but he plays in a club system where the fullbacks are primarily stay at home guys so I expect limited offensive contributions (except for set play headers) from the RB position.
I'm hoping Klukowski finds his form. He's not as bad now as that horrid outing he had vs Armenia, is he?
I predicted last year that five of the starting midfield/forward six for the start of this round would be: Hutchinson, Julian de Guzman, De Ro, Simpson, and Johnson, with a "pick 'em" for the centre forward spot (Occean? Jackson?). I'm not changing that prediction.
Cheers,
