Sorry nothing to do with the current fold but players being good enough - Did de vries play for us at age group? I'm curious as to how he got to where he is today. I heard he was at FC Basel once in Switzerland. Pretty impressive if he got there by himself. But correct me if I am wrong, but I don't remember him playing for NZ at age group
Was Canterbury United youth prior to going to Switzerland. He wasn't there long http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/88196261/ne...
This one has a little video of his college highlights. He takes freekicks, and scored from a few. third one is insane http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/world-game/88418534/Young-Kiwi-footballer-drafted-by-Vancouver-Whitecaps-in-second-round-of-MLS-Super-Draft
