He is not turning down a call from them for anything. One MLS guy in the roster and midfield looks strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 The CCC game is on June 1. The FIFA window opens on June 3. Algeria has a match on June 6. They simply didn't call him in. For all we know he was never in their plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know he was never in their plans Seems to be that way, but you never know. Marsch's logic was that he'll have longer with his non-MLS players who were already in Europe. Maybe Farsi is a player of interest, but wrong time to bring him in. And at 24 years old, there's no rush if you're Algeria, especially if he's indicating he desperately wants to play. Algeria can simply call him when it makes sense. It's a fringe player (for both nations), so there's probably no urgency for them. As for us, I think the only ugency (to the extent there is urgency) would be to bring him in before he plays elsewhere. They clearly have the upper hand and aren't really losing anything if he changes his mind. Corazon, narduch and The Real Marc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Marc Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 He may have been led along. Or they're watching him but haven't called him in yet. Or maybe the guy just really happy with the leap from CPL to MLS and really wants to play for Algeria and he's happy for focus on his club career until that ever happens.

The last sentence of the article is pretty much “these guys may get called in in September… unless the training staff decides not to” which, yes, is typically how it works.

Big_M Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 theyve conceded 7 goals in 3 games under the new coach Petkovic including the recent loss...they play in a back four under Petkovic so not sure where he would fit...he makes too many mistakes at the back to play rb in a back four and there are way better options on the wings...though who knows...if they lose monday vs Uganda they fall out of the top two and maybe they decide to fire Petkovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOcanadafan Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Confident that he would have looked better coming on for AJ instead of Zator - this camp was probably an opportunity for him to make inroads with the NT (if he was called & accepted), and at 24, 'times a tickin'. He must cling to romantic notions of representing the motherland... I just don't see it. They've got a solid vet at RB right now in Atal, and there's always the possibility a French-born player with higher pedigree pops up on the scene.

I don't think Algeria is going to call him up that quickly or that often, a guy in MLS. The only remote advantage is African Cup when MLS is off season (though he likely would not be game sharp). He'd be their national team player coming from furthest afar with most of the roster in southern Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
