Shway Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Will be a tough decision for him to make. The brotherhood and sisterxhood of Canada are tough to get into without any connects. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCON qualifying is only 2 games in, but South Sudan is bottom of their group. If qualifying was just starting or they were doing better, this might be a tougher decision. I think for now, he can wait this one out if he wants. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what he will do (there is some attraction and benefit to the exposure of international footy at almost any level) but I agree that it makes more sense to hold off a bit. He is a 21 year old playing in the Scottish top flight. I would definitely be holding off on committing my international future to a clear second choice at this point. He is close in age to a guy like Priso, who some think (including me) has a solid shot at the CMNT in the future. If I was Loturi and I wasn’t strongly predisposed to playing for South Sudan for personal reasons, I would definitely be waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I would be very surprised if he played for South Sudan. I mean if Jebbo is holding out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Marc Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) It might be very meaningful for him to represent South Sudan particularly as a centrepiece of the team. (As opposed to minor minutes for us.) If he does, totally get it and all the best. Edited March 11, 2023 by The Real Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Come on guys we all know how this game works. How many players have we had named provisionally only to have them jump? It’s to pressure Canada to call him up. South Sudan will never play in a World Cup and even AFCON would be a huge surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplebanana Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Take it for what you will, but Wheels just reported that Loturi has been called up for the March window. We will see when they announce the roster (possibly 10 min before kickoff on the 25th). K Edgar, Corazon, BearcatSA and 8 others 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within 4 years the CPL has only given caps to Borges, Waterman, MacNaughton, Didic, and has only given camps to Pantemis, Zator, Loturi and Carducci. It’s not a lot mate.

For a league that is low budget, and which has firmly pegged itself as developmental (and which has operated during a pandemic for the majority of its existence) supplying those players is a huge achievement for a country that is now in World Cup echelons.

I know it’s only a highlight compilation but he looks poised, good with both feet and has an eye for moving the ball forward. Also liked how a bulk of the clips were against Celtic and Rangers. I know the guys at Northern Futbol Pod rave about him. Look forward to seeing what he can do in a National Team set up. johnyb, Kadenge and CanadaFan123 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stood out to me as well. I was really surprised at his dribbling/shiftiness in these clips. Not something you would typically expect from a DM in Scotland. Just thinking and how amazing is this … Cavalry FC could have 3 call ups in this squad from their 2019 team. If you add Carducci they’ve had 4 total from that team now. Props to Tommy Wheeldon Jr. Edit: Just did a deeper dive on the numbers there and in 2019 there were 13 uncapped Canadian players that played for Cavalry (Ledgerwood & Trafford were capped; Serban had a season ending injury). 4/13 now called to Canada is insane.

He's obviously got more in his game than just that. That was the case at Cavalry and although I haven't watched him in Scotland, it's nice to see him doing this in the SPL, which is a step up from where he came from. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Canada him, Kone and Eustaquio all possess similar features but if we had to pick one to be the 6 at this time it would probably be Loturi. He’s sort of like Piette but with more speed and dribbling ability - probably not as physical though. Obinna and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
