I am guessing he was somewhat the same way, and he becomes tied to the English team rather than the Canadian one which he probably never saw
and him being on Canada wouldn't have really changed any of the results over the past 10 years

The point is if a player like whoregreaves decided to play for Canada, it could have been a pull factor for other fence-leaning players such as Jonathan de Guzman, Asmir Begovic, Daniel Fernandes, Jacob Lensky, and probably David Hoillett... You definitely can't say that Canada wouldn't be a much better side with some or all of those players in the picture...
