D1 college soccer under threat

Sounds a lot like a DA team that has a NWSL team to me. Not sure where Liga MX fits in the world of soccer but some brief googling seems to put it on par with the 2nd Division here in the US. I could only find a few results for Liga MX teams against US teams.

I am certainly rooting for your kid and looking forward to hearing of her debut in a few years.

Also, I talked to the DOC in Portland-he’s from NorCal. The DA doesn’t/didn’t come close. My kid is in a professional league. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Isn't it obvious? The link is through the father.

That’s my point, I have a British passport. So my kid has a British passport and can play for a UK team the same way those men can play for the USA-they have valid passports and are US citizens through their fathers. She’s just as eligible to play in the UK as she is the USA.

I agree with that. I think you might have some problem with qualifying for France.

I think worst case scenario is a 2 year residency requirements. Could also appeal to the discretion of Immigration due to close family ties and make arguments that it’s in the best interest of the nation to immediately grant citizenship.

How do men who grew up in Germany and the Netherlands whose only ties to the US is their father that served a military tour in Europe compete for the MNT?

Easy answer for the German/Americans.. and all the same. Their fathers are American. Some of them played on the German youth national teams too because they all had German mothers. Sergio Dest is the kid from the Netherlands. His father was born in an American-protectorate country and his mother is Dutch. Throwing softballs here.

Also an easy answer for British/Americans. I’m British therefore my kid is British.
 
So your 12 year old is a pro. Will debut first team Liga MX when 15. Will also graduate from University when 18. What is next on the list?
 
I gotta tell y’all, I’d be much more of a honk for my child prodigy, than if they were on possible track for pro soccer. Just sayin!

Houston Lost. Why?

Because it was outside the league and Houston was coming to the end of their season and an exhibition that meant more to Tigres and Houston most likely. Context means everything. None of us saw the game so know one really knows .

Were you born in the UK or a British protectorate? I see your point but you understand FIFA rules may be a little bit more than getting a passport.
