Great win (tournament) from the US U20s, hearing even more good news for #usynt that a big-time prospect will be re-joining the federation

Re-joining the federations sounds like one of the Mexican-American kids that had defected.....................

 

Jesse Gonzalez just re-signed with FC Dallas according to some twitterers

 

I hope its Efrain Alvarez


Or possibly it could be Ulysses Llanez


It's not Tillman

re-joining*, Tillman is close but never official in the US camp of things. I have maintained we stand a really good chance with Tim tho.

Yes but I also think he is recommitted to Mexico

It could be someone like Malik Tillman or Corey Anton who has played for us before. I'm probably forgetting a German-American or two who could be rejoining a USYNT.

I hope its Efrain Alvarez. Llanez rejoining wouldn't be bad either.

 

Ran across an interesting Norwegian article. Apparently everyone thought with Joshua King out Norway would play Ola Kamara.

Instead they will start a Norwegian-American born in New York City who is 6'5 and plays for Hearts. If plays will be cap tied.

This is OUR AMERICA

 

Does Kamara get regular call-ups for them since moving to MLS?

 

• ddwyer14Delighted, honored and very excited for this opportunity

Doesn't seem American enough to me. I'm looking forward to questioning his commitment to our program for the next 6 years.

 

With Dwyer in the fold...................................we must now move on to the next round!

What is Jack Harrison's citizenship timeline?

I believe he received his Green Card in early 2017, so our best case scenario is that he's eligible before the 2022 World Cup. Bummer. And we have to hope that he doesn't develop to the point that England is interested.

Although, maybe he has an American girlfriend?

Provisionally cap-tied to Sweden in 2016 U-17 Euros. Would require a one-time switch.

Made his debut with the AIK's first team this month

Honestly don't think it'll matter. I put his over under of caps at 10

 

Really? Why is that??

 

I don't think he's that good. I mean he's not terrible by any means, but he's a good 26 year old MLS striker. Dempsey seems to have at least a couple years left. Altidore is 27. Wood is 24 and he's not displacing them. SO he's in that MLS mix of Agudelo 24, Morris 22. I mean CJ Sapong and Will Bruin are only 27, 28 and have more goals than Dwyer.

So for the next few years he's #4 at the most optimistic and then who knows what develops of guys like Haji Wright or Josh Sargent for the Qatar cycle. So I just don't see him being a regular fixture for the team. Probably get some January friendlies and maybe another Gold Cup.
