Roberts was part of the U-17 of Canada at the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup . There he was planned as the second goalkeeper, but was used due to an injury to the regular goalkeeper.

The gate

During his mission, Roberts gained international attention when he scored a goal against England's U-17s : Canada were 2-1 down in the 85th minute when Roberts ran the ball out of the box to just under the center line. because there was no opponent in Canada's half of the field. His subsequent shot in the direction of the opponent's goal hit the ground once before striking the goal as England's goalkeeper was too far in front of his goal. The game eventually ended 2-2. With his goal Roberts saved his team a point against the highly favored England. This made Roberts the first goalkeeper to score in a FIFA final tournament.
