I have no problem with him choosing them in that case but also considering us a back up option if that does not work out especially since at the current time he is not even a Canadian citizen. It only bothers me when players choose to play for countries that they have weak ties to because it is better for their career. He is a legitimate American and not even a Canadian citizen at the moment. I see what you're saying and I agree but the things is according to FIFA rules you have to be eligible to represent the nation before being provisionally cap-tied For example if he does play in the U17 CONCACAF Championship for the USMNT and he doesn't have his Canadian citizenship then I'm not sure he's still able to switch ChuckMe92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USMNT has suffered the same fate with Diego Fagundez and Jack Harrison. Two young, promising players who spent their formative years in the US, but played competitive youth matches for Uruguay and England before obtaining US citizenship. They'll fail to make the Uruguay and England senior teams, but can never switch to the USMNT despite having US citizenship. Odunze almost certainly will play for the US in the tournament, so he must have his Canadian citizenship by mid-April. Though if he's going on trial with a Premier League club, he has to think he has a good shot of eventually making it with the US national team.

gator Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 As Caldwell always stated, "he's very athletic" which I agree with, I just think he made too many blunders and doesn't possess great footballing sense, just my opinion having watched him for years! I am real happy for him to come back from a couple of significant injuries and now he gets a chance to play at home, good luck to him!

Shway Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Victor Cabrera is in his 5th season with Montreal. I'm sure he's nearing enough time to qualify for citizenship no? At 26, and a CB he could be a good get for the MNT. Keegan, johnyb, Dominic94 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just passed the 4 year mark (not counting times he was out of the country) would definitely be in the mix if montreal keep him another few years and he is interested.

He has the talent to become one but we keep waiting to see that actually happen. Most Impact fans were surprised he was not let go during the offseason. It was also a surprise he started last night and he was the weak point in the backline. If he can realize his talent this year he might be someone to go after if he is interested in the national team but right now I do not think he is better than what we have.

El Hombre Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 It would be interesting to go through all the names mentioned in this thread and see where they are now. And by interesting I mean that someone else should do all the research and post it here so that I can read it sometime in the future.

Gian-Luca Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Not that I have ever seen him play yet, but I see that Pozuelo has never been capped for Spain, in five years time he could be capped just in time for the 2026 World Cup.... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
