No problem. Klinsmann has pretty much played guys who have duel citizenship immediately once Fifa clears them to tie them down. Not that he is the only one, but its smart. AJ, Green, Johnson could all have played elswhere. Green and Johnson were wanted by Germany...Jurgen was smart, especially in the case of Green. Germany wouldnt use him for at least 4 more years, but the USMNT has room for him, even at 19, so he sells him that. The chance to play for the US now outweighs the possibility to play for Germany...because you never know if you will end up good enough to be a regular for a squad like that (looking at you, Guiseppi Rossi...).
Hopefully Green turns out to be as good as we think and makes this move even better...aka...the Germans wishing Green was with them.
