Jonathan Gonzalez is probably committed to the USMNT but it doesn’t matter until 2019
It’s a story we’ve heard time and time again as American soccer followers. A player is eligible to play for the United States and another country, and is being swayed by both sides. The story is the same currently for Jonathan Gonzalez, a 18-year-old midfielder who is making a name for himself at Monterrey this season.
A recent report from ESPN Deportes indicates that Gonzalez’s intentions have always been to represent the U.S. at the international level. That makes complete sense. He’s played for the U-20 team under Tab Ramos and was born California. The report also says that Mexico are still pushing to lure the youngster away from the Stars and Stripes.
