    I know. Now is the time to post that Greek vs. the German philosophers Monty Python link.

    A half-time sub - Friedrich Nietsche is off the field. Playing in his place is Rubio Rubin.

    I would imagine that he should be able to train pretty quickly with a face mask, so he shouldn't really lose his mojo too much from this.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    I get pretty pumped thinking about Rubin, Flores, and Green leading the US attack in a few years. So much potential

    So is this a first team contract or will he still be considered a reserve player technically (even though it sounded like he'd have a good shot at first team minutes regardless)?

    Cathedral bells were tolling
    And our hearts sang on
    Was it the spell of Rubin
    Or the Utrecht dawn

    --------------

    Utrecht is known as a Cathedral City (Domtoren / aka Dom Tower), a 700 year old church.

    That's gotta be a first team contract.

    AD newspaper reporting he will initially join Utrecht's youth team, but the club have great expectations for the future.

    Makes sense. Bradley played about half a season for Jong Heerenveen before becoming a bench player and eventually a starter.

    Isn't this just the contract he was always going to sign, but couldn't until he turned 18?

    This isn't anything truly new, is it?

    That contract (the one I think you're referencing) was signed earlier this year CC: @Gorky:

    This one looks like it's a full-on professional contract

    BTW, I think the youth (Jong) contracts are for only two years in the Eredivisie (floor cap at 50% of a non-EU minimum or about $200K-$225K). After two years, the player is shifted to an adult status and a full minimum.

    Which makes me wonder if Rubin signed a 2+2 deal rather than a straight 4-year guaranteed one.

    He would have been "rubin' em" more in Kazan'.
