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:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
