I’m completely out of the loop on this but I love the USMNT so exactly how excited should I be for this announcement? I saw bits and pieces of the news on Morning Footy with some Twitter reactions and it seems momentous. What should I do with my hands?

potential is there to be the best striker we have ever had

Would love to see Dortmund pick him up.

Going from Haji Wright and Feriera in 2022 to Balogun in 2026 is a bigger leap in offensive capability than going from horse mounted cavalry charges in 1942 to dropping A-bombs in 1945.

Haha I love this agent
quote:


Balogun’s representatives had made clear they wanted any decision they made on his international future to stay quiet until June 3, when the forward’s club season in France was over. King and Kammarman wanted to make sure Balogun was aware of the roster deadlines for the summer tournaments, most specifically a May 15 deadline for CONCACAF Nations League provisional rosters. CONCACAF intended for those squads to be made public on May 19. Balogun would be on the U.S.’s list, even if he had not yet made a decision.

When the call started at 11:30 a.m. Central Time, Bonsu opened with a surprise: a decision had been made. King and Kammarman feared it would be a short call. They hadn’t been expecting any news at this stage.

“Unfortunately,” Bonsu started, letting the word hang in the air.

Kammarman and King’s shoulders sagged. Bonsu joked later he had never seen two people go so pale. Then he dropped the news.

“You’re stuck with us.”
