The good article on ussoccer.com about Whitbread.

As for choosing to play for the red, white and blue over the nation he’s spent most of his life, Whitbread said it was an easy decision.

"I just think the only place the U.S. can go is up in the game," said Whitbread, who had been offered a chance to play for England’s U-19 National Team about a year ago. "The U.S. has improved and I truly believe they will continue to and soon begin to become world class and perform well on the world stage. I want to be a part of that."

Nice article. It sounds like Zak's got a good head on his shoulders. Given how little he has played with his teammates, he did well yesterday and has a great future with the NT.

Yep.. He plays well considering he developed his game in England.

Considering he turned down an offer to play with England's U-19 National Team in favor of playing with the U.S., it would seem as if he thinks the U.S. has a brighter future than England does especially when you consider that he thinks that the "only place the U.S. can go is up in the game."

Is he implying that England isn't heading in the same direction that the U.S. is on the world stage??
