I'm not touching on anything other than this, but shut the frick up, Abby. Every person on our national team is a passport holding, dick swinging American citizen, and they have every right to suit up for us. It's pathetic to use your final moments on your little victory tour and retirement to spout your dumb xenophobic shite to anyone who'll listen.
If Jermaine Jones isn't American enough, who really is? It'd be wonderful if we didn't have to do this to compete, but we do. That's just the way it goes, and anyone suggesting we take another route is just plain dumb.

LD: "Not true for all players but certainly for some. @MixDiskerud 100% IDENTIFIES as being American and is proud of it"
"@landondonovan that has to do with those players. Blanketing all dual-citizens is disrespectful."
LD: "Correct and I never said it was all players. Only the ones that don't IDENTIFY as being American"
"@landondonovan who are you to determine how someone identifies themself? Just because they have different cultures doesn't make them lesser"
LD: "Because I speak to them and they tell me directly. Believe it or not, I speak to my teammates. One told me "I don't identify as American but I want to play in a WC.""
"@landondonovan it seems that your point is that we need guys who have American pride on the USMNT. Can't imagine anyone disagreeing w/ that."
LD: "Exactly"
Jaded Landon Donovan is best Landon Donovan.

Love Landon. He can say whatever he wants regarding the USMNT, and I'll take no issue with it.
The man comes from a position of authority.

Wambach sucks as a person. I've never liked her.

The US federation should help the women's players land endorsement contracts. Between teenage girls and drooling male groupies, players like Alex Morgan, Heather O'Reilly, Carli Lloyd, etc. should be very marketable.
They already do.
