Youngin's at Home & Abroad 2013 Edition

Junior isn't an option, he is waiting on the US and is simply using us in order to get a call up with their senior team. He has said it himself. I say forget him and move on!

Although he could turn out like Alvarez or Purdy who both did the same thing back in the day but chances of that are slim to none. Safe bet is he turns out like Corona or Sorto; so it's best to focus our energy on other players who actually want to play for us instead players like him.

 

This is off topic but what other alternatives are there to tapatalk? I'm currently using that too, is there anything better? Also, anyone have any recommendations on what's the best way to watch games through your phone?

 

I say we keep an eye on him from afar. Just like check up every couple weeks or months, until he gets called up to Either. He has the option to play ES and if By the off Chance that he does, itll be nice if we have some sort of Info on him.

 

Ok cool, thanks!

I think i may have not expressed myself properly, what i meant to say is that he himself has stated that playing for us all depends on whether or not he gets called up to the US. He said he is committed to the US and is waiting on them to see what happens.

I know he has declined recent call ups to US youth teams but i believe that has to do with him wanting to cement a place at his club rather than waiting on a call from us like some people here like to think. Would he someone get a call up to a friendly with the US senior team i doubt he would decline.

So that said, i can not help but think that the fact that he continues to mention us (well not so much him directly but his family, mostly his mother) has some other reasoning behind it. I mean why mention us if we are not an option and he is already in the US player pool? It doesn't make sense unless he wants something from them (i.e. senior call up).

In short the only way he would play for us is for him to somehow fall off the US radar, and if things continue the way they are then that's not going to happen so...

 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but i for one would rather see my nation represented by players who actually know a little something about our country, play with pride and want to be there. I'd rather a Maikon over Junior for the simple fact that both where/are under US watch and yet one had no doubts when it came to choosing us over them. And that's how it should be! Either you're with us or you're not, it's as simple as that!

 

If they were to give their all On the field would it matter? A JF who gave 100% would be accepted by everyone here IMO. Also, sooner rather than later ES will be making players at the level that the US and MEX make.

 

Would it make a difference? Yeah if they played with heart then maybe. Purdy is the perfect example. He did the same thing, then came to us when he saw he wasn't in the US' plans and for the most part did well. But to me there will always be more pressure on players such as this, they have to work twice as hard to win the fans approval. Will they ever be seen on the same level as the rest, not to me they won't; but if they play with heart and do well then with time maybe they can show their worth and desire to represent us well and with that earn some respect.

Seems FESFUT has already contacted Junior Flores and it seems it's a hot topic. Now Junior can't say FESFUT haven't talked to him. And I respect the opinions of others but if this is confirmed and he decides to play for E.S it would be extremely good news. But my question is who long will it take to change from US. to E.S that way we don't have the same deja vu situation like with D.Corea.

 

Okay either way I will be so satisfied if he plays for E.S knowing people feel he is maybe using us.

 

Agree no turning back for Junior Flores.

 

I read an article maybe last year where Flores was upset on the treatment he got from USSocer coaches at the u20 or u17. Maybe this will play a case in his decision, know if he does choose El Salvador he will be a rock star and he will have a chance to take El Salvador back to the top. The support from the fans will most definitely be there!

 

But playing IF would be better than club friendlies, so I think he should come

 

Agree I think it's more better playing International level than club level. Especially if FESFUT gets a good friendly I just hope it's good team. But i'm considering his parents are forcing him to play for E.S but I hope i'm wrong and he shows what he is capable of.
