[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds to me like Jordan Morris has his head screwed on right. Go to Bremen and become one more anonymous feeder in their massive farm system, and come back to Seattle a few years later with far less local name recognition, or stay in Seattle with his family, girlfriend, and dog and grow his name here. I don't see why he'd pick the former. [/quote]

That’s the spirit. Big fish in a small pond. Except when training in that small pond won’t even get you a win versus Trinidad. Think Morris’ brand is going to grow next summer when he’s sitting at home during WC? If he’s only concerned w the financial gain that comes from playing, sure stay in Seattle. If he’s interested in growth and gaining technical acumen, then he made the wrong decision. Seems like his mentality isn’t a good fit for NT anyway. [/quote]

And what if he's interested in enjoying his life? He loves Seattle, he likes being near his family, and he's making a great living doing so. 
He owes you nothing. 
And plenty of players that have bounced all over Europe lost to T&T as well. [/quote]

Nothing wrong with it, just shouldn't be playing for the USMNT is all.  That kind of apathy shouldn't be welcome.  For pete's sake, we expect more out of our children playing in travel soccer than we do out of a player putting in a US soccer kit.  No wonder we lost to TT.[/quote]

Then let some other better player come along and take his place. I'm sure he appreciated the risks when he said no. You are not entitled to a piece of him, he has the right to make choices based on his own personal happiness.[/quote]

Jurgen got him a slot because of his connections with the German Bundesliga.  Werder Bremen didn't come knocking for him.  Not knocking knowledge and wealthy, do want to say Jordan's father being a doctor meant that Jordan could play in National League and paying for the travel regionally wasn't an issue.  Jordan's father being a employed at Seattle was a factor with Jordan being selected to be part of the DA team.

I don't want to say that Jordan has not struggled, nor that his success has been gifted to him, and yet I can't shake off the fact that Jordan Morris plays for Seattle and USMNT because of his family roots.  Certainly he is an athlete, but watching him play I don't think anyone can say he is soccer player.  He is Zardees, a smaller Altidore.  I quite frankly can't understand how a player who played in US youth national league, college soccer, pro, and then USMNT has so few soccer skills.  I think that's what Jurgen knew Jordan would be able to add in Germany and he could function more like a strong midfielder with the ability to strike, as oppose to what he is know, a a goal poacher.[/quote]
