Jermaine Jones took to social media on Friday to share his belief that up-and-coming talent in America needs to challenge themselves by playing in Europe instead of going straight into Major League Soccer.
Jones, who currently plays for LA Galaxy, has played on both sides of the Atlantic, including stints with Bundesliga clubs Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt and Schalke, as well as Turkish side Besiktas.
He has also been a mainstay for the U.S. national team, although he wasn't part of the squad that lost to Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday that resulted in the Americans missing their first World Cup since 1986.
