'Goalkeeper union' strong as Crépeau, St. Clair vie to be Canada's No. 1 at World Cup
Jesse Marsch will give Dayne St. Clair and Maxime Crépeau 45 minutes each Monday as Canada weighs its World Cup starter.
- On Monday in Edmonton, Canada head coach Jesse Marsch will split 45 minutes of playing time between goalkeepers Dayne St. Clair and Maxime Crépeau during a friendly match against Uzbekistan.
- St. Clair earned Major League Soccer goalkeeper of the year honors last season, while 32-year-old Crépeau seeks redemption after a horrific injury forced him to miss the 2022 World Cup roster.
- Both athletes maintain a supportive relationship despite intense competition for the single starting spot, with St. Clair noting that "we're going to be judged as a team" rather than as individuals.
- Determining a starter will be difficult, Marsch admitted, stating he will be "tormented by telling one of them they're not the goalkeeper for the World Cup."
- The coaching staff will evaluate performance after the match to finalize the roster, as the team prepares for the upcoming World Cup tournament on home soil this June.
