Darlington Nagbe and the U.S. Men’s National Team has been a curious case in recent years. After being a regular in 2017 and making eight appearances in 2016, the midfielder vanished from the international scene. He made just one appearance in 2018 and has not been a part of a squad since then.
Last year, there were suggestions that Nagbe was rejecting call-ups. He no longer wanted to play for the national team. He did not go quite as far as confirming those reports last week on BSI: The Podcast, but he did explain the difficulties he has with international duty.
