You can play in a friendlies or for a U-20, U-17, etc. team and still switch.

Jermaine Jones played in three friendlies for Germany before switching to the USA.

USMNT roster for the Gold Cup should be out this afternoon.

Thanks for clarifying it.

Kun has said on his Twitter page that he wants to leave Atletico, doubt they will sell them to Madrid though.

I can see Aguero ending up at City if they sell Tevez or at Chelsea if they sell Drogba.

I dont see him at Real since it's unlikely Atletico will sell to them and I dont see him as a Mourinho type striker.

As much as I dislike how Ancelotti was treated, Chelsea have to appreciate Abrahamovic's desire to win at all costs. Compare him to the bums that run Arsenal. A 6 year trophy famine and yet Wenger has a guaranteed job for life as club manager.

No idea if this is true or not but fwiw...

Real Madrid will make Sergio Lionel Agüero's signing official on Saturday (via Onda Cero).


IMO Real would be better buying someone like a Llorente but CR can fill that role as well I guess. If Jose is asking for him you'd figure he has a plan.

Does this mean Real is gonna unload Benzema? I was reading a few days ago that Fergie was planning to bid on him but you never know with the stories at this time of the year. I think Sneijder should be more of a priority but we'll see.

Glad to see Ronnie start off well for Flamengo. His form was lacking lately, and those Brazilian fans can be ruthless.

at the Gold Cup roster. 
The Chandler omission is disturbing. Easily top five in quality in the whole US pool plus an opportunity to permanently cap tie him, there's has to be something else going on with that. 

Bornstein wasn't even playing the second half of the season and he still gets selected. 

Damn I'm tired of Bob and his guys.

Robbie @+$*!+ Rodgers????????????

Adu is the only leap Bob got right.

People say Chandler is considering suiting up for the Germans. Bradley said it as well. He hasn't played in a tourney or a qualifier so he could pull a Jermaine Jones on us.

Bradley initially claimed to reporters that his decision to leave Chandler off the roster was due to a “long season,

I heard he's as good as signed already, the only reason we are waiting until June is so he will be free.
