More than two years after he scored on his debut for the USA in South Africa, Juan Agudelo is apparently staying in MLS. He was among several MLS young players to be pursued by foreign teams in the past few months.

Whether or not the U.S. national team is ready, the Hexagonal can't come soon enough.
