    As weird as it is to point it out in reverse, but this is really one for N&A, and not just US Men.

    I think Sepp did this to try and get the FBI off his case

    Not sure exactly how that worked. Not sure if it actually worked like that. Nevertheless, I do actually approve of Sunil as far as FIFA goes. I'm just not wild about him running our national team programs.

    Awesome! Welcome Gedion Zelalem! Can't wait to watch you hopefully tear it up at the Youth World Cup!

    It wasn't Sunil who did the recruiting. Klinsmann was Key.

    Nice work. Sunil did it with only Grant's and Jackson's. All the Benjamin's already in JK's Swiss bank account.

    I renamed the N+A Zelalem thread to reflect this news, so we should be good to go.

    Zelalem chose the USA over Germany, it's not like we were his only option.

    And over Ethiopia, which had been recruiting him hard for a period. Its easy for us to scoff at that, but he made a point to never eliminate them from consideration. His parents are both Ethiopian.

    I've seen a lot of overhype about youngsters over the years. It looks like this kid just might be the real deal. It is the U20s and it is New Zealand. But he still looks the part.
