Kind of cool to see the amount playing for European Club teams. I wonder how many though are Americans that grew up here and are not Europeans whose fathers were American service men .....like Tom Dooley and Earnie Stewart back in the 90s.


Under Klinsmann we started *really* aggressively pursuing dual nats (folks that were eligible for multiple countries). A lot of our current crop were born here and developed overseas, like Flo or Weah, or born elsewhere to American parents and did likewise, like Reyna or Dest.

I knew I skipped one, thanks. Italy seems to be a little down lately. Inter has been struggling in Europe and Juve has fallen off a cliff.

They have serious structural issues with their governing body that they need to rectify. We dealt with it too back in 2018 when we missed the World Cup and have come out better for it.
