Darlington Nagbe now a U.S. citizen

The United States national team now has a potential attacking midfielder in its pool, but will the Timbers player earn a call up?

Add another player to the United States national pool: Portland Timbers midfielder Darlington Nagbe is now an American citizen.

The 25-year-old, who was born in Liberia and grew up in Ohio, officially became a citizen Thursday, which makes him immediately eligible for the U.S. national team. Representing the U.S. is something Nagbe said in the past he would like to do .

Congrats to @darlingtonnagbe on officially becoming a United States citizen today.
