Gio can play for:

US
Argentina
Portugal
Argentina

It's worth noting both his parents played for the US.

I'm not worried about it.

I think he will play for the US but I am interested to see what England may try to sell him to get him to switch.

Play with Sancho , Dele, Kane, Sterling, Abraham, etc.

And a chance to win the WC.

His father is Captain America and he has played through the Youth USNT setup. I wouldn't be worried.

I think it's moo anyway. He's not eligible for Wngland because he didn't live there long enough.

Heard on Men in Blazers this morning that we are in track to have the fewest American minutes played in the EPL since 2001.

Cameron gettting old, Ream relegated, Yedlin and Pulisic injures can't help.

Neither Cameron nor Ream play in the Premier League.

Only Pulisic, Yedlin and CCV are in the top flight right now.

Also those numbers are probably skewed because we had multiple starting GKs in the league for about 20 years.

Ccv isn't in the top flight. He was with stoke last fall and now he's with Luton Town.

I think the ink other American is Indiana Vassilev

We've also seen a shift of a lot of American players into Germany in the last 5 years. Most of our Euro players used to be in England, now there's a good bit more in Germany as well as some in France, Holland, etc.
oh no

yanks-abroad's player list (not sure how updated it is), lists 5 players in EPL right now:

Owen Otasowie - Wolverhampton
Christian Pulisic - Chelsea
Kyle Scott - Newcastle
Indiana Vassilev - Aston Villa
DeAndre Yedlin - Newcastle

at the EFL Championship level, they list:

Geoff Cameron - Queens Park Rangers
Cameron Carter-Vickers - Luton Town
Luca de la Torre - Fulham
Duane Holmes - Derby County
Eric Lichaj - Hull City
Tim Ream - Fulham
Antonee Robinson - Wigan Athletic


Fulham is currently in position to have a good chance at promotion for next year, so maybe Ream and de la Torre could get up to EPL... Luton Town is dead last in championship - probably going to be relegated. On the other hand, neither Aston Villa or Newcastle is safe from relegation from the EPL right now.

side note: i'll be in London in a few weeks and hoping to attend the Fulham vs Brendford match- currently 3rd and 4th in the championship table. I will attend Chelsea vs Everton at Stamford Bridge!

I wonder how our minutes in the Bundesliga this year ranks, in comparison

and hey, minutes in EPL this year vs prior years be damned.

Mexico has one player in the entire EPL this year and zero in Bundesliga. One in serie A and five in La Liga.

They're not. It was a joke. Ie Sargent is not the latest greatest young American anymore.

Yes. I was laughing at my joke and showing you guys it was a joke so people don't get their panties in a wad.

Dest gets the start for Ajax in the Europa league. Ajax need to score 3 to advance.

He's a pretty good follow, writes pretty good articles, does a good job of tracking players at their clubs as well. He'll release a graphic with a run down of who is playing where usually as well.

-randomly had a Luka highlight instead of sargent
