There are a lot of Canadian players listing Chile as a second nationality lately, as a way of getting an EU passport. This is related to a recent WHO ruling on acquired genetic traits, what is called soft inheritance. If you can get your Chile nationality recognized as a Canadian, you can fast track your EU status and even pass it on to your children, so we can get multiple generations of Canadians under the Chile flag, also known as La Roja, like Canada, Reds, playing in European lower tiers. If we don't have a thread on this on the board you should probably start one.

if Canada raised our world ranking  position and  reputation , players would choice to be  recognized as Canadian. 

Canada has to be a  certain world ranking for our players to get work permits in some countries in Europe. For example in the U.K.

Did I say anything about Pantemis? I just said, implicitly, that Breza signing for a D4 team shows he's nowhere near national team level. Your argument/question regarding the suitability of Pantemis for the national team does not detract in the slightest from my statement. Breza is nowhere near ready.

No but Pantemis has been called up a few times because he's young and someone thinks he has potential, but you have Breza who's was called to Serie A last year for a month to backup, he played well in the youth league in Italy and just because he went to the Serie D to get playing time, witch is very common for young players in Italy to do because of a lack of a youth system/development league, you say he's not ready ? But Pantemis is? Who has played only 2 games in USL for the former FC Montreal?

And yet some among us are calling for him to be included in the squad for the El Salvador game... Reality check. One. Two.

James Pantemis ??

 At least Breza can lock down a job
