Yep a real shame on Flores and Ayo. We have such a young squad getting them into a camp is half the battle. It is such a fantastic time to be in the Canada set up at their respective ages. The comradery looks to be fantastic. Being around so many prospects your own age could be as much as a pulling factor as playing with veterans of a mexican side in Flores case. @LeoH037 is correct with Herdman's selling pitch to Flores too. We would be looking to build the team around him and he would be offering something we don't have which means the best chance at maximum international minutes. Canada can be sold as an exciting project right now with a golden generation. We have the salesman to do it so fingers crossed.
Why would he need to do a "wink wink" routine when a guy is already capped? That makes no sense.
There's an inherent risk in reporting this kind of stuff. Do it enough and you'll eventually get burned. It happens all the time, but that doesn't mean it should stop.
