baulderdash77 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm sure it was. He was pursuing it a few years ago when he was getting his citizenship (like 2014/2105) but it never materialized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Thomas is back in the starting lineup, and got the clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Frederikstad. 4 games in, and they are in a tie for first place with 10 points from 4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame but I think he's an extreme example of falling prey to a rule not designed with guys like him in mind but rather for the Brazilan rentals/temporary residents. Sucks for him even more that he'll never be good enough for the two countries he is eligible to play for, Ghana and the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the question is do his three or four years as a teen count or does he have to get to the five-year number solely as an adult? If it's the latter, then forget about it, especially as a guy who presents as a fringe MLS player at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im confused as to why a guy who lived in Canada isn't qualified to play for us but a guy like arfield who never set foot in it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Simply because of fifa eligibility rules: Any Player who ... [assumes] a new nationality and who has not played international football [in a match ... in an official competition of any category or any type of football for one Association] shall be eligible to play for the new representative team only if he fulfills one of the following conditions:(a) He was born on the territory of the relevant Association;(b) His biological mother or biological father was born on the territory of the relevant Association;(c) His grandmother or grandfather was born on the territory of the relevant Association;(d) He has lived continuously for at least five years after reaching the age of 18 on the territory of the relevant Association. Opare assumed a new nationality so he needs to fulfill one of these conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 En España: Piette played 90 as Izarra came back to beat Osasuna B 2-1, they are 11th but amazingly not free from relegation yet, with just a few games left, very tight division. I'm hoping, with Osasuna going down to 2nd, that they sign Sam and he has a chance to play in 2nd next year. Hume got some late minutes, like maybe 6, as Extremadura won 2-0 to stay in the fight to avoid relegation. First minutes for Hume in a while Bakr did not play for Leganés B. Miki Cantave started for Albacete B in 4th tier, he played 59 as they won. Andrew Lebre played 53 for Ourense as they won handily, though he was on a card and they subbed him I think for that. They are in a position to promote into 4th tier, they're fifth now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 No, he appeared for the first time this season two weeks ago in injury time. Second game of the season and third overall as his debut was in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I thought to be on national u 20 team you have to be playing games and 3 games in three years that's a joke and he still made the u 20 team , that's crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Aleman was not in the 18 for Saprissa as they lost 5-1 to Limon today. Riggi has scored for Phoenix Rising. They are up 3-0 on Swope Park. No Drogba anywhere. Pasher, Didic and Gonzalez are starting for Swope Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 On 4/21/2017 at 8:38 PM, C2SKI said: Tough 2016? This is a pretty big step down from MLS and CCL, is it not? Glad to see him doing well though. I've always liked his play. Transfermarkt seems to have him playing as a CF recently. He played a total of under 400 minutes in MLS in 3 seasons. In his last season with the Caps he played 148 MLS minutes. It would be a big step down from MLS to 4th division if he was actually playing any significant minutes in MLS but given he was mostly playing USL with a bit of VCup and Champions League because Vancouver didn't take those competitions very seriously I think it was a step up. He should either get a shot with the first team at Dusseldorf or be in a position to transfer at least to the 3rd BL if he keeps performing like this.

shamrock Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 In Germany, Stanese played 45 minutes for Aalen in a 1-0 loss at Osnabrück. Don't know what happened there, wether he got injured or just performed badly. Corbin-Omg put in another full shift, but FSV lost narrowly (2-3) at table-leaders MSV. They seem to be relegating, even apart from the financial troubles they're in. in D4 Elva played 90 minutes, picked-up a yellow card but won with his side Stuttgart2 vs TSV Steinback (2-1). On Friday, Randy Edwini-Bonsu saw the pitch after 65 minutes for Homburg. They drew at Worms (1-1). As been mentioned, Froese scored another goal for Düsseldorf 2. They beat Sportfreunde Siegen 0-3, Froese played until the 85th minute. According to the article I posted recently, his position in LM ATM, which means he can cut inside and shoot with his preferred right foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
