    Julian spoke recently about his American connection at the World Cup

    He definitely does not seem proud of his American roots.

    Highlights from this Q&A

    Q: How long did you have both an American and a Norwegian passport?
    A: Until 3.5 years ago.

    Q: What was the reason for the choice you made? You could have played for the United States
    A: I could. But I chose to give up that passport.

    Q: How do you surrender a passport?
    A: Then you apply to give it up. And then it went through.

    Q: What kind of connection do you have to the United States?
    A: I have a Norwegian father who was born in Brooklyn. I was part of the US when I was little. That's really it.

    He also stated: "I don't have dual citizenship anymore. I only have a Norwegian passport now,"

    Ryerson would've been the last American standing in the World Cup, but if he isn't one anymore, I suppose a lot of guys tied for that "honor," going out in the round of 16.

    Why are we talking about him? We don’t want him and he doesn’t want us.

    I love the way this guy plays. The US could use players like him for sure
