Jermaine Jones from the FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga has decided to switch over the USMNT eventhough he's appeared in 3 friendlies for Germany.  He's hasn't gotten any call-ups lately, so he realizes that his best chance at seeing international duty will be with another country.  He's the son of a US soldier who was stationed in Germany. Apparently, Michael Bradley kind of recruited him and told him of the new (easier) FIFA rules on switching your international ties.  He won't be available until later in the year, though.

those numbers aren't bad at all considering he's a defensive midfielder in one of the top leagues in the world.  i bet he's a heck of a lot better than pablo mastroeni!
