The last addition to the U.S. national team roster is the first one to admit that his future looked murky until about a month ago.

On separate planes, Philadelphia Union president Nick Sakiewicz and U.S. midfielder Maurice Edu flew back from England Monday after concluding their business there over the weekend.
