quote:
Gooch's involvement at Sunderland has already caught the eye of Jurgen Klinsmann, who held talks with him last week. "It's wonderful to see a kid break through at the start of the Premier League season," Klinsmann told ESPN.
Although he is also eligible to represent England and Ireland, Gooch still sees himself as American, albeit he remains frustrated at his exclusion from the US Under-20 squad for last year's World Cup.
"I qualify for England and Ireland as well, so there's always stuff that can happen," he says. "But I would love to play for the US again. I had a lot of pride putting on that shirt coming from California. I played a lot of football in California and I owe a lot to the country. The door is wide open at the minute."
It's a door that Gooch is banging on loudly.
