    I have a bad news confirmation for USMNT fans: as recently boasted by coach Raddy Antic, Borussia Dortmund backline sensation Neven Subotić has decided to play his international soccer for Serbia. It appears, after several false leads, we got the real story this time.

    I have learned that the former U.S. youth player has now handed a written request to the U.S. Soccer Federation to make an allegiance switch and Serbia have filed the necessary paperwork with FIFA, with both of these submissions occurring yesterday. The next time Sunil Gulati is asked, he will admit all of this.

    It now appears a mere formality that Subotić will suit up for his ancestral nation - and that stateside fans have a new gripe against the USSF.

    While I'm sure he's not lying, I'll wait until something is official before falling for all of this again.

    So, according to the article, that leaves Balboa, Mrs. Bradley and Ives.

    Your loss, Neven. But best of luck and success, anyway.

    This sounds like the confirmation, in any form, that we've been waiting on. And thanks, Greg, you're definitely a trusted source to get us that sort of information.

    I found his written request to the USSF.

    “I’ve played through residency so I’m an American. And I’ve worn the crest, and thats also a thing you have to respect, yea, if you wear it once, you’re not gonna wear another crest. That’d be kinda like backstabbing I would say…and that's what I plan to do.”

    -Sincerely, Subotic


    I am finally glad it is over, though. What a freaking ride, right? No more threads about Subotic - well, only as much as Rossi gets for now on. By the way, the above quote is 99% his own words.. I just added "and that's what I plan to do."
