This really increases the buzz and general good feeling around the United States, IMO. In fact, I'd even say we got dat good buzz working right now. A third place medal or three will really help America's standing around the world, IMO.
I know Rongen's working on him, just like with Michael Hoyos. Then we get Najar and Mwanga potentially out of this group a couple years down the road.
Im just hoping Bob gives the young guys a chance and dont stick with the same meh players. Honestly I wouldnt complain if Lichaj didnt become the full time lb now and move Bocanegra back to CB because Demerit/Bornstein are old and not very good.
How did Bradley make it out of all this still head coach of the team? Why can't we do things like every other country in the world when it works. 8 or whatever it is is enough.
US of A basically just said F developing talent we are just going to recruit it. Rogen is the Trooper Taylor of soccer sans paying for every player.
^ and germany giveth to america while italy taketh away i think we all know where things stand win win for me what with the amount of young top players in germany fwiw
why would it, america is a country of immigrants anyway if any country should be doing this, it's america
International Soccer is dirty already. They only thing that is gay is nationalizing players that have never lived in your country nor have any heritage in your country until they start playing soccer in your league. Dudes like Cacao on Germany. Not dirty at all to steal away a player that was born up in the USA.
every country in the world has hired a brazilian mercenary at one point tbh, and dont for a second america wouldnt where was feilhaber born?
David Regis definitely felt a bit dirty and helped divide that locker room in '98, though that's all on Sampson. Thankfully we don't need to do that anymore.
Not disagreeing with that, but Feilhaber was a U.S. citizen by the time he was 12 y/o and hasn't lived in Brazil for 20 years now.
and cacau has lived in germany for like 10 years, it's no different just because benny moved when he was younger benny moved here to play soccer, just like fabian is doing, so it's no different there either

I not saying it is against the rules, but just that I think it is lame. Just like it is lame that Chris Kaman played in the Olympics for the German team despite not speaking any German just so he could play in the Olympics and couldn't hack it on the US team. At least Germany makes players wait 8 years to gain a passport.
you mean like how fabian more than likely switched to america because he doesnt wanna be stuck behind mesut ozil (21) and toni kroos (20) at his position
And let's face it, Germany has the largest population of Americans in Europe, and there's no doubt German women love the dick of the best military in the world, especially the in the military. So there's bound to be many of these German-Americans, Daniel Williams (Freiburg) and Fabian Johnson (Wolfsburg) being two others plus quite a few youngsters.
the argument takes root when one moronically tries to rationalize or nitpick any of this nationalization nonsense for any country degree doesn't matter
this is how i feel. Shit if Japan can have a Brazilian playing for them, the whole French team is full of Africans and even Italy has a black player then who can talk shit?
