"Ashton feels very honored and is very interested. … Ashton has nearly determined to grab this chance. The position of right back in the U.S. team is vacant."

-- Bjoern Gerke, the agent of 21-year-old Hamburg SV right back Ashton Goetz, who has reportedly been courted by Jurgen Klinsmann to join the U.S. national team. Goetz, who was born and raised in Germany, would be eligible thanks to his American father. Goetz made his Bundesliga debut last September and has appeared in 10 games. (MoPo.de.)
