important news that i guess goes in this thread:

zelalem turned down the German U17 call-up, meaning there's still a chance he plays for the US.

He'd have to get an American passport while living in London and his parents loving God knows where. I'm not too optimistic on this one

Aren't his parents from Ethiopia? Could be considering playing for them.

So what exactly is his relationship with the US then?

He moved to the US in 2006 but was never a citizen.

Here's a good interview with Green's father.

yeah, me neither. but it keeps us in the running. and jurgen has been killing it on recruiting. maybe our American owner is thinking similarly to Bayern. an American stud would be good for our US brand.

the biggest hurdle to me is the work permit issue. if he becomes an American, he can't play at Arsenal without a work permit, and they've been stingy as hell on those permits lately, unless you're ManU.

I fapped.

quote:

Jerry Green also had a little story about his two sons. When they were younger, he recalls, the older Justin (who was born in Germany, but attended high school in the states) would poke fun at his brother when young Julian forgot an English word.

“Julian would get very defensive when his brother would make fun of [his English],” his father said. “So Julian would say to his brother, ‘Yeah, well, I was born in America and you weren’t. I’m from Tampa and you’re not. You’re German. I’m an American.’”

I was literally coming to post the exact same thing with a comment about fapping. Amazing.

He needs his father to get a passport. Otherwise, it's five years.
