Heard about that, but it was actually his mothe's decision wasn't it?

There has been a few different stories as too why it was turned down. The most consistant was that his mother turned it down, but he also said he wanted to have a childhood. However I honestly think that the USSF had a small role in the whole ordeal as well. Either way the USSF would rather seem him in MLS in the next 2-3 years then in some youth squad abroad

Watch out for Bastian Schweinsteiger, 18 year old Bayern Munich prospect. For a german, this guy has outstanding dribbling and ballhandling skills, and though originally he is a defensive mid he was substituted as an offensive winger in some Bundesliga- and CL-matches by Hitzfeld.
This guy seems to have a bright future as dribblers like him are not seen very often in Germany...

My Romanian preferences:

(no particular order)

Radoi (Steaua Bucharest)
Rat (Rapid Bucharest)
Grigorie (Dinamo Bucharest)
Ovidiu Petre (National Bucharest,near to Ajax)

They are all U21...but there are more players who can appear in this list.
