torontofc Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Anyone have an update on their situations with the Canadian national team. How likely is it that either one of them will play for Canada in the future? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Adam Street played in the U17WCQ's earlier this year...De Jong has until his bday in October to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hottoddy7 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Dejong played official matches for Canada and friendlies for the Dutch correct? Does this mean that he has to declare for Holland or for Canada? What I mean is if he doesn't make the application before his birthday is he cap tied to us or them?

I think he gets to choose what country he'll potentially want to play with from here on end, no matter if he has been capped by us or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wishes to represent Holland he will have to submit the proper paperwork prior to his 21st bday this October. As he is currently cap-tied to Canada - thanks to playing official youth games - he will be considered Canadian if he does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCF08 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Marcel de Jong will pick Canada. As a Dutchman I can say he has got 3% chance of making it huge with the Dutch National Team. Especially when you consider his competition is Royston Drenthe and Urby Emanuelson. De Jong is a decent player though. Could do very well for Canada.
