El Diego Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 23 hours ago, Keegan said: I’m not sure Davies was ever eligible for Ghana as he was never a citizen but born in a refugee camp (would have to check FIFA rules).. Liberia was the only for sure option. Also let’s be real, if he played for Ghana after literally living in a camp as a baby it would be the next level of betrayal even for us. I guess I did just assume the Ghana eligibility. And maybe it would have been a next level betrayal, but despite the Tabla news I still remain scarred.

Blackjack15 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Watching TFC-NE Revolution on TSN right now Alex Bunbury tweeted out he was at the game to see his son at BMO Field. Is Teal Cap-tied to the USMNT? He played in U23 Olympic Qualifying and 4 friendlies (2010-2012) Is he eligible to file his one time switch? Anyone can clarify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Linesman Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Teal is a colour, Alex is a legend and with Millar, Davies, Tabla, Hoilett, David, Cav and Larin the man who is merely a colour is of no consequence. johnyb, Shortdutchcanuck, MtlMario and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoginess Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I'm excited to see Davies and Tabla on opposite wings, can't cheat over to one side to defend one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have needed a Ghanaian passport, not sure how prone they are to speeding up that process for footballers. Thankfully a moot point now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack15 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Our national team is so diverse with so many second nationalities Most of the squad is child of immigrants or foreigners themselves, or have a grandparent that came here or simply have a passport from that country. Heres a list of players with dual nationalities: (Second) Goalkeepers: • Milan Borjan ?? • Jayson Leutwiler?? • Simon Thomas ?? • James Pantemis ?? • Alessandro Busti ?? Defenders: • Marcel De Jong ?? • Sam Adekugbe ??????? ?? • Ashtone Morgan ?? • Dejan Jakovic ?? • David Edgar ??????? • Manjrekar James ?? • Doneil Henry ?? • Marcus Godihno ?? • Michael Petrasso ?? • Fraser Aird ??????? • Juan Cordova ?? • Zach Brault-Guillard ?? Midfielders: • Atiba Hutchinson ?? • Samuel Piette ?? • Jonathan Osorio ?? • Russell Teibert ?? • Junior Hoilett ?? • Scott Arfield ??????? • Jay Chapman ??????? • Liam Millar ??????? • Alphonso Davies ?? • Ballou Tabla ?? • Kris Twardek ?? • David Wotherspoon ??????? • Tesho Akindele ?? ?? • Will Johnson ??????? ?? Forwards: • Tosaint Ricketts ?? • Cyle Larin ?? • Lucas Cavallini ?? • Jonathan David ?? • Anthony Jackson Hamel ?? The Demographics of Canada MNT ?? Can you imagine who would be playing for us if it wasn’t for these guys families who came here for a better life? We’d have like nobody! Is there a more diverse national team than us? Australia or Switzerland come to mind Edited October 3, 2018 by Thomas A_Gagne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 We've had this conversation before...how many of us fans on here wouldnt also have second nationalities if real life was like FIFA eh? Personally I would have filed for my one time switch during some of the dark CMNT times. ktf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day we’re all Canadians and have that in common. But I just find it insane that 90% of our NT has dual nationality That just a few handfuls only identify as “Only Canadian” and don’t don’t have any ties to any other country that’s what I find interesting. Sport is something you have to grow up with and these players have Majority of our 37M Population have descent/ancestry that dates back generations ago but almost all these guys are first or second generation Edited October 4, 2018 by Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there would be a massive difference. Obviously despite the cherry picked stats that we can all name, hockey is the more popular sport in Canada, and as a result we do a better job of developing pro hockey players from all over, especially in rural areas where there is a lower percentage of immigrants.

Let’s do a count of fans. Going back to grand parents I only qualify for Canada. So that means at this point in our count approximately 100% of Canada Soccer fans have a single nationality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what held him back from signing with Metz as a teenager - he trained with them off/on over 2 years but never signed. BCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplebanana Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 My parents were both born in China, and raised in Hong Kong, but I was born in Canada. I am not, however, eligible for a Chinese passport (or HK identity card), making me 100% genetically chinese but 100% Canadian eligibility. Which is good, because people at work have described me as 'hardcore Canadian'. Hence, twinkie/banana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
