Cristian Roldan’s journey to burgeoning American soccer star has been pretty well documented around these parts. By now, you probably know about his insistence on playing high school soccer and foregoing big club teams; how that nearly left him without any scholarship offers and that he seriously considered just attending college as a regular student; and how he was so overlooked by MLS teams that he was able to fall to the Seattle Sounders with the No. 16 pick in the 2015 draft.
You probably also know that he had a chance to represent three different countries at the international level, but waited until the call came from the United States to make his debut.
