Stoppage Time Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 A thought for Marcelo: As a Canadian fan of football and a supporter of the CMNT, I will be thrilled if you choose Canada for your eventual international career. To this end, your idea to attend a Canadian camp, in January, is a really smart and practical move. This move will give you a much better comparison of the two programs, but you know all of this. Enjoy the extra soccer, enjoy meeting more players, reacquaint with some of your young Canadian peers, and live the experience. Then, you can make your choice when you are ready to do so. Hope to see you with Les Rouges, Marcelo. Wishing you a great rest of the season at Arsenal. Cheers!

The latter would not surprise me at all to minimize online abuse and questioning in the media while he's under the microscope and I wouldn't read too much into it. It's marketing. Not certain if his Twitter had other flags, but his instagram still has all three flags kohanz and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebbison also has England in his twitter profile but not Instagram, maybe because the more hardcore soccer fans are on twitter and they want to minimize speculation.

Agreed looks like uphill battle for a lost cause but worth Canada Soccer extending an invite. Contrast this with the "WTF" look that teenage David Edgar had on his face when he was recognised by a few Voyageurs at Richardson Stadium in 2004.

Tyler55 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Canada soccer liked Flores' recent post. I haven't seen them do this for other duals except for Dias (likely because of Olympic qualifying), hopefully Flores gets to meet Jahkeele tomorrow!

Bertuzzi44 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Flores was born and raised in Canada and learned his soccer in Canada and England. So, Mexico, who's stealing now? Obinna and ted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler55 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Translated: "The Canadian National Team goes for Marcelo Flores. 21 days before the World Cup qualifying, the Canadian team seeks to convince the young man to join instead of the Mexican tricolor. Flores has already debuted with Mexico, so will it be that (Mexico Flag Emoji) behave?" Mexican media freaking out again. I doubt Flores gets called to wcq for us, and he shouldn't unless it's just to train. Even then it doesn't feel likely (would love to be wrong though).

Bertuzzi44 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I would call him up. 1) I think he has a lot of potential. More than a guy like Brym for example and, 2) Screw Mexico CCrTFC, Approve My Account Pls, Tyler55 and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 After being in camp with our squad for a few weeks he’s not going to want to play for Mexico. He struggles with Spanish and he’ll fit right in and feel at home with the Canadian program.

Kent Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Would he even be eligible to play for us in the next window or does he need to file a switch? I don't think any of his games even at youth level have been competitive games, so maybe he wouldn't need to file a one-time switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its also exactly why the game against Guatemala wasn't classed as a proper "Friendly". I can't see him getting the call for the WCQ and don't think he should do for the actual squad. I don't think that benefits anyone. Coming in a taxi squad makes a bit more sense for everyone and hopefully that happens.

Taxi squad does make sense he would be in a camp, and he doesn't want to get cap-tied. Logical for all parties. An Observer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
