Saw some writing that Nigeria has serious money problems with its federation. Talk of limiting callups to the minimum. Flo would be turning his back on lots of endorsements from either England(if he is called) or the US. There is not a huge endorsement opportunity with Nigeria.

#USMNT | Presser
Matt Turner | on Folarin Balogun

Spoke to Flo as we had a lot of pre season together. Knew he had some roots in US. He & I developed a relationship quickly. Be a great addition to our national team. Been great on loan. Decision has to come from the heart.

Gus Malzahn is still coaching at UCF, right?

Need him to come in and close the deal by giving Flo the best sorostitutes Orlando can find.

Weah, Musah, and now Balogun. Whats the story here with African parents coming to New York, having a kid, and then moving to England?

All I know is some MP is going to put a provision in the new immigration bill stopping it and suddenly the English soccer media will love it.

I don't think that's the case with Weah. That dude grew up in New York. Robinson and CCV grew up mainly in England but had a parent that was actually American.

With Balogun, from what I've read, his parents are Nigerian but were living in America for a few years, but then moved to England not long after Balogun was born.

Musah is the wild one where he had a mom who never really lived in America, just happened to be visiting relatives in New York while she was 9 months pregnant.

Let’s be honest, you’re not supposed to fly that late in pregnancy. Mamma Musah got what she wanted out of that visit and Yunus is just showing the US his appreciation by playing for us.

Ya Weah is obviously different with his dad, but it's still funny all 3 are of African heritage and born in NYC.

Apparently this is our new serviceman/Germany

Balogun trained with the USMNT today. Doyle with some tweets implying it’s a done deal.

Hudson confirmed that he had conversations with Balogun today.

I do wonder if it helps at all in the recruitment process that he's british.

Flo was at a Yankees spring training game in Tampa. US Soccer is showing him a good time.
