The 35-year-old midfielder defended his place in the U.S. national team, making the case he hasn't received the respect he deserves.
It would appear Jermaine Jones wanted to get some things off his chest.
The 35-year-old has earned 69 caps for the U.S. national team, starting all four matches at the 2014 World Cup and five games at last summer's Copa America Centenario. But some fans have advocated for a changing of the guard, with Jones set to be 36 when the 2018 World Cup in Russia kicks off.
A week after the central midfielder started a 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw with Panama, Jones passionately defended his spot in Bruce Arena's lineup during an interview with ESPN FC.
