Now we have all read about the issues going on about TFC's Dwayne De Rosario's recent trip overseas to tryout with Celtic FC without informing TFC. Considered a big NO NO in the industry, and actually illegal, teams can face huge fines and bans from their organizing bodies, which in this case would be FIFA.
Now the latest uproar! The World Juniors are going on in Buffalo as we all know. What you probably didn't know was that a member of the Wounded Moose got the call to join their ancestral homeland and help out the cause. Did Turbo get the call to join Lichenstein? Noooooo. Did Matt Kelly get the call to play for Ireland? Thank your lucky stars he didn't you fighting Irish! Wait, did Stevens, Vezina, and Horbatuk get the call to Team Canada after Matthews did but showed up late? Unfortunately for them, no.
But what did happen was unprecedented. Rather than asking his club's permission, the man, the legend, the detester of the Portugese Space Shuttle, OX, has joined Team Germany at the tourney! Thought he would go unnoticed in front of the opposing teams net with his classic grin on his face, he was wrong! Caught on camera by some guy who for whatever reason attended this game, he immediately did a search on Tin Eye to see if this guy was known elsewhere (Tin Eye will use a photo or photo url to see if the photo is a fake or seen elsewhere on the internet). Finding out he was on the Wounded Moose, a call into team management quickly alerted Wounded Moose executives.
At this time not much is known about what is happening, but an emergency board meeting has been called to determine what, if any, sanctions should be handed down.
In the meantime, we wish OX all the best at the tournament!!! Go OX!!!
