He keeps coming into train with the national team. Bayern isn't blocking him coming to Arizona. It would seem pointless for him to travel all that way if there wasn't done end goal in sight.

A Bayern player who is German plays for the Bund no questions asked. But Bayern might be looking out for itself and not for the Bund. An American star playing for them would make their brand in the states explode.

They could also ask him to stay around because his opportunities for playing time could be on the rise

When asked if there was a possibility that he could choose to play for the U.S. at this year’s World Cup — and be tied to the U.S. for good — Green nodded his head.

“Yes, I think so,” he said. “If I can play a World Cup at 18 years old, it would be great, amazing. But I have to train hard.”

Green said Klinsmann had mentioned the possibility of playing for the U.S. at the World Cup, but the coach has not guaranteed him a spot on the World Cup team if he chooses to wear the Stars & Stripes.

“But the chance is there,” Green said with a smile. “I have to play well, and we will see.”

This got me so god damn hard it's not even funny.

I haven't really watched any video of him (will probably do that later).

Compared to our current strikers, where does he rank? Does he deserve a spot on the WC roster besides the point of being cap tied?
