The Legion were up 2-0 when he came on. Mataeo played pretty well, at one point even drawing a yellow card as he had a defender beat in open space and got taken out. He was solid defensively as well. Shortly after coming on the pitch, his job helping to close down space in the opponents half, helped lead to a turnover that fellow Canadian Ryan James finished off nicely to make the game 3-0.

Solid analysis, I really liked his defensive positioning. He football IQ is much more advance than I thought. Acid-Tone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solsous Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Bunbury looked nervous and uncertain in last nights match. As a young player, he needs to be switched on at all times, especially with his defensive responsibilities. Last week, he was spot-on with his defensive positioning. On the offensive side, when he touched the ball, I saw the same thing. He dribbled into conflict and didn't have a plan beyond his first move. On the positive side, his suddenness on the ball is uncanny. Hopefully, the coaching staff will work with him in these areas.

solsous Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Nice work by Bunbury tonight! He came in on the 2nd half and simply dominated on the right side. Now, he needs to put in a dozen shifts like that before I drink the cool aid. Acid-Tone and Vasi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid-Tone Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I watched the first 10 min or so of the second half last night before it got out of hand. He looked pretty darn good. Drew a PK in his first 2 min on the field. And later on, he took and made a PK of his own. Second half highlights if anyone wants to take a look for themselves. narduch, Corazon and solsous 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that goes against FIFA rules, that's up to the CSA. With today's Herdman grandparent comment, it would seem to make Mataeo even less likely to be eligible. toontownman, narduch and WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solsous Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Again, I really don't know the FIFA rules, but it was confirmed that he has his Canadian passport. My greater concern is re: his development. He is playing on a USL team that is loaded with flankers. Therefore, he is not getting quality playing time. I hope that he is resigned by the Legion and focus becoming a better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasi Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) Aaaaaa his father has citizenship. So no worry there. Its more of the fact that he is playing in the usl that might be a concern Edited September 17, 2022 by Vasi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that parental citizenship is not enough it has to be birthplace for FIFA. 6 Nationality entitling players to represent more than one association 1. A player who, under the terms of art. 5, is eligible to represent more than one association on account of his nationality, may play in an international match for one of these associations only if, in addition to having the relevant nationality, he fulfils at least 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 on the territory of the relevant association for at least two years. Has he ever lived in Canada? archer21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he ever lived in Canada? That’s been my understanding as well based on the criteria you posted here. Unless Herdman is flat out wrong though, maybe this information is incorrect. Seems crazy though since it’s posted on the official FIFA website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he ever lived in Canada? As far as I know, no. On the lighter side, at least he will be able to travel to Canada as a citizen. On the heavier side, I really hope that his default is not the USA. As for the FIFA thing, that's what too complicated for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
