International Career
Marinaro also earned six caps with Canada. He played three games in the 1986 Merlion Cup in Singapore, but was accused, along with three of his teammates of taking bribes to throw the Canadian games. The criminal charges against Marinaro and his teammates were dropped after a judge declared that Canadian courts had no jurisdiction over gambling in Singapore. The Canadian Soccer Association suspended Marinaro for a year, but he did not again appear with the national team until 1995. Marinaro's first game with the national team was a 4-0 win over Indonesia on August 30, 1986 and his last was a 2-0 loss to Chile on October 11, 1995.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
