Thanks for the heads-up USAF.

Don't recall hearing about this kid.

The US has 3 international friendlies.

Azerbaijan on May 27th; Turkey on June 1st; Nigeria on June 7th.

Hope he gets a run-out against these teams.

The Nigera game will be in Jacksonville Fl. Planning to go to that game--so if he is with the squad, i will see him for sure.

Thanks again for the heads-up USAF.

Gedion Zelalem - This is another kid I hear they're tracking. Heard about him when he was living in Maryland, but never got to see him play.

name sounds familiar....

[HL]

Gedion I have heard about. Can't say i recall his USA geneology.

Lots of pundits were commenting that Jurgen was using too many German based players in his early squad.

I guess his job is made easier using players having the German football philosophy...(?)

Julian Green, age 18, plays for Bayern's reserve team. He has played five games for Germany's U19 international team and scored two goals.

Was hoping you could give me some info on his being eligible for the U.S. As far as I know he was a permanent resident (not a citizen), so unless at least one parent is American, I don't see the connection.

[USAF]

Well!!! Klinsman has gotten him to commit -

If Jurgen says he is good, then he is good.

Will be interesting to see. Hope he decides on the US.
