Not actually true but at least he's 19 making his way, Tavano is 26 so should be at his peak but is playing in backwater leagues at a lower standard than winter amateur football in Auckland. Fine if he wants to see the world and experience it, but to call him up from those levels?
You may as well call up players from Kiwi FC in London.
Also, never thought he was any sort of world beater for Auckland, was a passenger in many games I watched.
