Not sure how it's in the American's interest to be continually motivating their opponents. I can see a similar situation happening here to Denmark leading into 2022, all the talk of quarters/semis only to underestimate the group opponents and ultimately shit the bed.
WTF. 11th hour ticket to the WC, what a way to ruin team harmony. Volpato saw himself cast aside from the Italian FA a few days ago and now comes crawling back.
I think it depends on age and if the youth matches were 'official' or just friendlies prior a a switch. In Segas case hes over 21, has used up his one time switch, and since played for his new association at any level. Can't come back.
I hope our mid selections don't end up like that. Don't get me wrong I like all those players, but far to similar for mine. Irvine, O'Neill, Balard, Robertson, Devlin, Melcalfe all fighting for 2 spots
