Stanford alums at World Cup - d4cohn - 11-13-2022

I am not sure if there is another thread on this topic, but Jordan Morris made the USMNT 26 man roster. What a tremendous accomplishment for him, given the injuries he has dealt with, as well as some USMNT alums and former coaches publicly questioning his decision to eschew the Bundesliga and play in MLS. Granted I am cognizant of the level of play difference between leagues like the Bundesliga and MLS, but as Jordan talks about in this USMNT video celebrating his announcement, his family (namely his wife) had to make professional sacrifices just to support his loan deal to Swansea in the English Championship (2nd division), which sadly ended in his second ACL injury.

All in all, remarkable to overcome 2 ACL injuries and Type 1 diabetes to play in soccer's most prestigious competition.
