Six MLS players were named to Canada's Gold Cup roster, according to Canadian Soccer News, but no team will lose more than one. Dwayne DeRosario, who will apparently play in the tournament over New York Red Bulls coach Hans Backe's objections, is probably the biggest name. De Rosario has scored 15 international goals in 55 appearances.
