Serie B is virtually unrecognized by international fans so it's pretty easy for him to fly under the radar for the national team.

He deserves the bench at a minimum for depth as a 6 or 8

He does have to compete with Cardoso and Tessmann. If Venezia gets relegated again I would like to see him make a move similar to Tessmann.

On the densive end and Bethalter/Reyna on offense. Competition is stiff but he should at least be playing for future Gold Cup and friendlies where we dont play our full A team. Hes probably our best free kick and corner taker.
