"I think this is great, look at Ante, he's aged and you would figure that by the time you get to that age a national team is solidly looking to younger players for the future. What a statement about how well Ante has played all year. I think is a very fitting reward for someone who has earned it. I think he's having a very good year, and in spite of his age he continuously plays wells. It is much deserved and I think it’s a great honor and I'm very happy for him,Jordy Nelson Jersey." added Chivas USA Head Coach Robin Fraser.
This is Jazic’s first call up to Canada in over a year.

"It is obviously an honor to represent my country, especially at my age (35 years-old); I am definitely looking forward to it,Pat Angerer Youth Jersey. I have been around for a long time and the coach (Stephan Hart Canada’s Head Coach) knows what I can do and I’ll do whatever he needs me to do to help, he knows I'm there; I’m just looking to contribute in any way possible." commented the Nova Scotia native.
