This is the reason why US Soccer will never make it at the world stage

funny how so many posters are in the dark when it comes to the actual sport of soccer. my guess is this kid is fast enough but speed is probably the least important part of his game. he's a holding midfielder. his strengths are probably tackling, passing, tactical intelligence, toughness. Not speed. usa needs midfielders. he's 18 and a solid Liga MX player. yes losing this kid is important.

Understanding the game,skill,passing,it's all a waste of time.Speed and size are evreything.

I absolutely love the way soccer is in America. Granted, I would like to see the US qualify every time but I just love the way it is in the US. The main reason that I love it, is because there is a big part of me that loves the underdog. Quite frankly, there are very few things in the US that makes us underdogs. We dominate most everything in the world. Our economy, sports (Olympics, winter and summer), entertainment, technology, military, energy production, freedom, etc, etc, etc, the list is too long. So please, I know it is going to happen, but please, at least for a while, don't make the US a soccer superpower. When we win the World cup in 2026 it will mean so much more to this country than if we did it when no thought we could. See Miracle on Ice for instructions. So much bigger of a story than if we were like Germany, boring, arrogant and freakin good.

Maybe one day the US could be as good as Mexico in soccer and win all those World Cups they win. That will be great. Having all the players in La Liga and the EPL like the Mexican National team does would be great too. That will be so cool when the US is that Awesome at soccer.

Typical beaner move. Use the US to help you breed uncontrollably and live a good life then, when it's time to give back, cut and run. We need to take away the option for them to choose who they play for nationally. If you live here and THRIVE here, you play here. Period. Shame on the US for not enforcing this garbage.

How is he allowed to choose anyway? Is he a US citizen or Mexican citizen? How can you have both. Someone needs to get deported.

if he wants to go play for mexico let him go. One player is not that big of a deal. Besides, what has the mexican national team ever won? I don't remember them winning the world cup in the last 30 years.

The us does need to focus on different players than what they have been recruiting but don't need to make an effort to focus on any one race or culture. Just get the best players.

If you missed on this guy, oh well, there are millions of other players in this country. Go find them.

Isn't that the Pot Calling the Kettle Black when the USSF looks for as many Germans who have an American dad even though they don't speak a lick of english...Fabian Johnson, Jermaine Jones, Timothy Chandler, Alfredo Morales, John Brooks, Danny Williams, David Yelldell, Terrence Boyd, Andrew Wooton and Julian Green: all were conceived while their fathers were serving overseas, got a German woman pregnant before coming back to the USA while those players grew up in Germany with dad not around

Most athletes are mercenary in nature. Would like to get in on the German gig though. Where do you sign up?

Yeah, but they were born to American servicemen (for the most part) and are therefore as American as you claim to be.

Many, many, people have dual citizenships, but why would you think he has to be a Mexican citizen to play? Does anyone know for sure?

Article said he's applied to FIFA to switch. He wouldn't be the first or last to try and switch. Many Olympians do it also.

Good riddance to Gonzalez. That's just one less Mexican criminal and rapist polluting our country! It's time to make American white again!
