Why play for the US? Because you're playing for a country where you'll very likely end up starting in a WC early on whereas with England, its not as nailed on because he doesnt play for Liverpool, United or Chelsea. Also because there will be familiarity with a few of the players from the youth teams. Not to mention, he's apparently close with his father who is American and lives in America and the US has given him a ton of international football while England hasnt even given him a look.
Alao, just because we're not full of world class players doesnt mean we're not a good team. I'd fancy us to beat England in a competitive match tbh. The US plays for the team and fights for the team. If England showed even half as much fight as the US, they'd be much better on the international stage.
You're talking as if half the England first X1 isn't made up of Spurs players. Sure, he's probably familiar with some of the players from the US youth team but I'm sure he's more familiar with our players who are the actual spine of the England team.
Really hope he does elect for England, it's much more convenient for than him fucking off around the other side of the world every international break.
