Canada’s success in the 4-3-3 formation with Kaye, Hutchinson, and Arfield patrolling midfield will give Herdman and his staff something to think about heading into the final group stage match against Cuba. Even without their best starting XI Canada should be able to get past a Cuba side, who were beaten handily by Martinique. Key figures such as Arfield, David, and Osorio appear to have gotten the rest they needed ahead Canada’s third match of the competition. However, Hutchinson, Davies, Kaye and Cornelius have all played 180-plus minutes and will be due for a rest, which could see Samuel Piette, Kamal Miller and Junior Hoilett given starts. There is also a chance that, if Canada is able to build a large enough lead, Herdman will gift 18-year-old Noble Akello his first senior cap.
