king1010 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 would love to see the Whitecaps give him the boot. Unfortunately i don't see it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFC07 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I hope Whitecaps cut him, but given Whitecaps anti-Canadian history since joining MLS, I highly doubt it will happen. Time to send a message to fake Canadians who want to ditch Canadian program while using our resources (both on-field and off-field). If Canada shows some backbone, then it will go long way of preventing more incidents like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullback Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm pretty disappointed he was going to be a significant piece to our U20 team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpetzz Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 No class at all from this clown. Used Gale and the Canadian system since he was 12. Not surprising though when you look at who has made every decision for him.... The apple doesn't fall far from the tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm pretty disappointed he was going to be a significant piece to our U20 team next year. Who knows if he could even cut it? There is so much talent there he would be competing with Boakai, Aparacio, JLL, Froese, Carreiro, Petrasso and presumably Aird and Caniggia.

TFC07 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Instead of expressing our displeasure to this kid on twitter, why not ask Vancouver what are they going to do about it? Hopefully other pro clubs in Canada blacklist this kid if he doesn't pan out overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footscray Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Vancouver isn't gonna do shit. The caps are garbage, they are not committed to our national tem, they rarely play canadians with the excuse that they want to field a winning team and they've never won squat. I live in BC and I can't even cheer for them. If the kid likes Chile better than Canada, he should go live there, seriously, so sick of people using our country for opportunity and a better quality of life and then turning their back when anything is asked of them. Thank god for people like Borjan amd Raonic or I'd have no faith in people on this front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpetzz Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Makes me sick thinking bout how his old man was strutting around wearing canada gear when he was with the u17s. Whole bunch are pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Here is hoping he is not good enough for Chile. I'd still take him back. Hell I'd take anyone who can help get us to the World Cup. At this stage I want the minister of immigration to give two dozen Brazilian players citizenship and have a cap tie game waiting for them when they get off the plane. If FIFA wants to make this joke continue just play along. Of course being Canadian that wouldn't be proper and we are such good sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC07 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 both can be done effectively. Vancouver supporters should really pressure their team We need to send our message to soccer media in this country so they can make a story out of it and pressure Vancouver to respond to this. Also, make sure other Canadian clubs blacklist anyone who ditches us like Bustos. This is a great test to see some strong leadership from so called soccer leaders in this country.

Footscray Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Sam Adekugbe is tweeting that he is proud of Bustos and that you have to seize opportunities like this. Guess we know where he stands if england comes calling. Canadians of convienience. But how nice would it be it the caps actually did something about this, might finally win a little respect from me. Give his spot and development time to a Canadian. This is extra sickening given that he was born, raised and developed in Canada, it's not like his is one of the euros who played youth football over there (not that I am defending that either) Can't wait to hear his excuse about how the CSA sat him on the bench in a scrimmage to justify this.

Blackdude Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 We're talking abouut a club that had American Sydney Leroux post defection and who has signed Alain Rochat and has trialled Jacob Lensky. I don't see Vancouver doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footscray Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hopefully some of their season ticket holders voice their opinions, seems like the only way they might be swayed, their past actions have sent a message that they are indifferent to the national team and probably encouraged ths kind of stuff. Would be so sweet if he got cut. You think it's a career advancement step to piss on our national team? Not if you want a developmental spot at one of our club teams. But ya we can dream on.

Bertuzzi44 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Holy shit this is weak. A born and raised in Canada, former Canadian U17 international... unbelievable. Does Canada mean nothing to these idiots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Apparently it was the caps that told him it was a great opportunity for development That surprises absolutely noone if true. I think it's up to the fans...every time he touches the ball, a vocal minority (that hopefully becomes a majority some day) needs to boo him out of the building.

Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Really disappointing news to wake up to. After all the time and money spent on this kid, it does show a real lack of character. Good riddance, Canada needs players that are proud to put in the shirt and give there all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccerpro Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I just don't understand players treating national team duties as an extensions of a pro career. The kid was born and raised in canada. He's never even lived in Chile. Where is the fucking pride in your country? Don't you want to be part of the solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
