Maybe it isn't a big deal since he won't be cap-tied playing in the upcoming friendlies but Calgary born Tesho Akindele and MLS rookie of the year candidate declined Canada November call up after getting a call from Klinnsman.
He would be so far down the depth chart on the USMNT that this has Teal Bunbury written all over it. It would be a no brainer to play for Canada and get first team minutes considering his close ties still in BC.

Coach Benito Floro has named 23 players to the squad that will start with a camp in Orlando, FL on Sunday 9 November and train there before heading south on Sunday 16 November in advance of the game.
Of note, MLS FC Dallas Tesho Akindele declined an invitation to attend the camp.
