That would be great. 

But by who?

Yes, he's in contact with the federation.  He becomes eligible at some point in the next year.

[Vasi]

Well if he is as good as advertised that would be awesome.

Or, according to my wife’s understanding of statistics:

1. koleosho 50%
2. Jebbison 50%
3. Sigur 50%
4. Goodman 50%
5. sali 50%
6. farsi 50%
7. Abzi 50% 

I hope for your sake she doesn't see that. Lol

Pulisic and Weah both out for the US, and still no Koleosho call up for them. I guess he’s really gonna commit to Italy, huh.

Makes more sense stay with Italy for show casing and youth opportunities.

in time commercially the US at the senior level will make more sense.

Given their lack of wing depth, surely he could fit right in the team right away? They did a really great job at hyping Balogun when he switched, so I’d assume Koleosho would get an immediate bump too. 
 

Given where Italy is at currently though, is playing for the US really that much less exposure? He does have all those UEFA tournaments as well, but whether it’s #10 ranked Italy or #14 ranked USA, I don’t know if Italy has anything more going for them other than the history. I may be wrong.

When I saw the roster and saw Pulisic and Weah were out I didn't even think of Koleosho, and I was intentionally asking myself who was going to play winger for them in that selection.

Yeah, the states are stacked (relatively). We may not have a bad shot at Koleosho if we play our cards right.

I am usually fairly optimistic but I just don’t see it.

My theory continues to be that Koleosho will push Italy as far as he can.

If he cracks the senior team that's it.

If he grows impatient with Italy, then we can offer him a starting spot, which he won't get with the USA, they are far too deep already and are getting deeper all the time.

Remember what I said about how much Canadian soccer news is just cribbing what’s posted here:

At least they cited their source.

True, the typical CANMNT tweet would've been: "hearing from sources that Sali could be the next CANMNT star! Here's a 10 minute video where I list off every top team in europe and rank them by who is most likely to sign Sali at 21"

Am i the only one who sometimes reads his tag as Foot-Yeah instead of what I assume to be intended Footy-Eh?

Hey now... I'm just trying to rep this great community haha.. I think there's a good chunk of the CanMNT twitter fandom that doesn't even realize this place exists. 

 

And yes, I always cite 😅

I kid- I always think of message boards as obscure places no one knows about and twitter as this separate thing, so to see cross posting is always funny to me, but it makes sense, because realistically, who else is posting about Enes Sali on a Thursday afternoon?
