I think it's the international transfer certificate, so FIFA has to approve his entry into MLS before he can play.

Ahh..okay. Thanks.

So that, along with the fact that he's only practiced for the first time today with the team, means he probably won't play tomorrow.

If Canada had made it to the World Cup, would they ask RPBs to play?

interesting comment regarding MLS rules on "Canadians" on the roster... in particular that MLS was looking at that "hard"

Sounds as though MLSE are pushing for a lower "quota" on that requirement.

Combine the fact that the CMNT isn't exactly stocked with superstars and then factor in Vancouver (possibly Montreal) in the league and you can see why they would push to lower it.

Why the hell would he want to play in the MLS...It's a poor quality League!!!!..just maybe a dozen or so players that have some talent. It's pretty much a bush league. Why he's leaving Spain I have no Idea. The guy is just 28. Maybe if he was 4-5 years older I can understand he wanting to play for home city. But now...just stupid if you ask me!
