Having represented Canada since filing for the one-time switch from Scotland in 2016, Scott Arfield is no stranger to the CanMNT. He has been with the team long enough to have experienced the darker periods of Canadian soccer, even captaining the side in the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup. However, Arfield has strangely not answered the call to represent his country since November 2019 with no confirmation on the exact reasons why.
So why are we suddenly interested in whether Arfield will play for Canada again? Well, with the CanMNT currently sitting atop the 2022 World Cup Qualifying CONCACAF Region table, there is a realistic chance of Canada qualifying for the competition for the first time in over 35 years - a potential historic achievement that any Canadian player would want to be a part of.
