Childhood friends Lucas Cavallini, Jonathan Osorio reunited on Canadian men’s national team
Lucas Cavallini and Jonathan Osorio have come a long way since the days of playing soccer as kids in the Cavallini family basement in Mississauga.“When we finally arrived in Qatar is when we started to realize our past and what brought us here,” recalled Cavallani, who came off the bench in Canada’s 4-1 loss to Croatia at the World Cup. “And what we had to go through. The struggles, the sacrifice, the ups, the downs to get to that stage.
Both have South American bloodlines. Cavallini’s father is originally from Argentina while Osorio’s parents were born in Colombia. Former Toronto manager Ryan Nelsen liked what he saw of Osorio at training camp in 2013. It proved to be a wise decision. Osorio now leads the franchise with 327 appearances in all competitions.
“It was just a club decision … We didn’t come to terms,” Cavallini said. “Normal things. Stuff that happens in football. I guess it was time for a change.” Cavallini has sons the ages of three and five and an eight-year-old daughter. They all speak Spanish, which eased the move to Mexico.
