When Stuart Holden reported recently that FC Dallas keeper Jesse Gonzalez had been named to the US Men’s National Team provisional roster for the Gold Cup, the announcement astounded the locals and fans of the national team alike. Gonzalez, having already suited up on several occasions for El Tri’s youth national teams (and reportedly refusing a previous callup from the US), seemed as though he’d represent Mexico’s full national team for years to come. Now, it seems like a mere formality that he’ll be playing for the Red, White, and Blue.
Understand Jesse Gonzalez has officially submitted paperwork to FIFA for one time switch to USA and will be automatically cap tied.
