If Marco goes, wouldn't it more likely be to a South American team, through family connections, particularly in Chile?
His exposure through the recent games with the Nix may be enough to have him noticed and assemble a compelling show reel of his talents.
If that happens I hope Ricki locks Marco into an AW spot in March...before Chile does!

The March games are friendlies though so wouldn't stop him playing for Chile.
[QUOTE=Hard News]
They are FIFA sanctioned friendlies and represent caps so they most definitely would stop him playing for Chile.
I don't think Chielan football is on his radar RedGed. If ColoColo came calling maybe but Marco wants to be somewhere wwhere he will A, get game time and B, get good training and coaching to help him develop and I doubt Chilean clubs would promise him that or match A-league wage offers.Cheers News. I wasn't sure how strong Chilean football is. I thought perhaps though there could be family connections to other stronger South American teams and leagues..but who knows?
