[@tomdagninoseviltwin1362]

I just got signed with the real madrid under 21, leaving for madrid tomorrow from los angeles, you will know my name in about 2 years when I get on the real madrid squad. my name is isaiah gunter, I am german and black. wish me luck.

[@HazyTempest8]

If that's true, good luck, have fun, and stay focused!

[@theoriginalanimeker]

luck, if it's true

[@ayyechris408]

My names Alex Hunter

[@JohnAndri20]

Well deserved!

[@alexchilled]

You will make it!! #Focus

The hype was gone as soon as he chose Seattle over Werder Bremen. I remember a lot of people saying that Bremen was going to get relegated and they didn't. Morris would of gotten playing time and his development would of been much different compared to playing in MLS. He could of learned a lot more from German trainers , even Yedlin became a better defender from playing in Sunderland. It's not often USA players get offers from Europe, its a missed opportunity.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Jermaine Jones said that Morris turned it down because his parents got him a dog.

[@thecastleofenlightenment2604]

I disagree, American players tend to have better luck staying in mls than going over seas right off the bat. Morris made the right choice. He made a bad choice going to college for so long

[@SpaceCityMac]

From a Dynamo fan, Morris does deserve rookie of the year and all the luck to help his team win the MLS cup.

[@jordanhahaha]

Can't wait to see this guy in the future

[@mallorynichol2477]

I've known him since I was 4, glad he made it.

[@theoriginalanimeker]

I remember wanting to go to UCSB soo bad because I love soccer and they don't have a soccer team so I watched UCSB v Stanford and I was routing for SB but damn I thought, Morris was so good that game, it was the first time I watched him play and I thought the U.S need to sign him. Coincidentally he was playing for the U.S a few days later. I was like, WOW! I remember this kid, he is good! Then I hear a club wants him in Germany and I thought everything was set, but then I see him play for the Sounders. I think it's sweet that he wants to stay with his family but then I saw a pattern, I heard afterwards about this ticking time bomb on weather or not he wanted to go pro, and I wondered why in the hell would you force someone who doesn't want it that bad to play when you have soooo many other young boys you want it more than he does. That's a problem in the U.S scouting process, to be better than we are now we need the talent of Morris but the heart of Cristiano Ronaldo, the reason why Ronaldo is the best is more than just talent, it's hard work and sacrifices, I know not everyone can be as hard working as Ronaldo but I bet you can find boys with the same talent of Morris and more of the fire to leave the U.S and go to Germany to play in a better league and grow their career. I hope Pulisic does well but he says that he still wants to be a normal kid, truth is to be more than mediocre he can not be a normal kid, normal kids are mediocre. As a fellow teenager I have to say yes let the kid rest, but as a hungry U.S soccer fan I have to say work your freaking buttocks off and get over it, we want to win.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Well said.

[@THRIQUILLED]

He should have gone to Europe. Glad he's doing well. But this is too comfortable there in Seattle, its going to be a while before he really flourishes.

[@theoriginalanimeker]

Obviously he doesn't want to make that sacrifice

[@theoriginalanimeker]

Sergio Inz Ik it's so frustrating, they need to change the way they scout, we don't need mediocre, that doesn't grow U.S soccer.

[@berlonkombe4989]

he probably will if he doesn't give to the pressure

[@jgeorge2693]

the thing is European teams try to sign 18 and 19 year old strikers hoping to find the next Neymar. I believe Morris is 23

[@jgeorge2693]

+Sergio Inz north America isn't a bad place to live

[@StAtiKzHD]

Should leave MLS to improve development. See ton of potential as a young fast strong finisher something everyone wants in their forward. Scary to see that this pressure got to him because if he plays in Europe it'll be much more full of pressure.

[@heatguyjr]

how's that worked out for everyone who's left for Europe before him?

[@StAtiKzHD]

+Josiah Rhodes just how attached to his family is kind of scary in itself too. Not saying that being like that is a bad thing in itself but when you are a professional athlete of a sport played around the world you are bound to leave them for prolonged periods of time if you are a good player and that's bad for when he does leave if he does that. Family had a lot to do with his decisions to stay at Stanford and then go to Sounders no doubt about it. Bobby Wood is doing great in the 2nd division of Germany and just got signed to its top tier league can't wait to see him. It doesn't matter what happened before if he is any different he'll succeed.

[@heatguyjr]

it does matter. there's no precedent to support this idea that American players going over to Europe is going to turn them into stars.

[@heatguyjr]

Bobby Wood situation is not at all the same. Bobby went over to Germany at like 14 or 15.

[@gavingonzalez367]

Jordan Morris wouldn't be starting in Eurooe best for him to stay in Seattle.

[@HaylonHarroo87]

Sigh seems like a cool Manager to play under

[@Tecatito06]

what happened to all the Julian greene hype?

[@pantherman4540]

He never worked his way into the actual Bayern squad so it died down.

[@fifadillon3819]

The reason Pulisic was selected instead of Morris is because Pulisic went the Europe way aka the right way

[@ribbitygoodtimes6793]

Well this never happened before....(cough cough Freddy Adu cough cough)

[@xBrutalz]

MLS was right move but I think he should leave in a year or 2

[@joshuasimmons8160]

No it wasn't

[@davids4206]

Bring on the NO! We DON'T need another Freddy Adu

[@shoehub2153]

😂😂

[@lozerisdead999]

I just hope he makes a move to Europe sooner than later. The MLS isn't good for our youth development. It's a very poor league from a technical standpoint. He can be as good as Dempsey has been for us if he goes off to the bundesliga or even England to develop.

[@jgeorge2693]

yedlin developed in MLS before going to Europe. Dempsey played in MLS several years before going to Europe.

[@lozerisdead999]

Jonathan George Yedlin isn't anything to write home about. He's just fast but with sunderland he's a liability defensively. Dempsey also spent 8 years in Europe until he hit 30. Morris is already 21. Time's ticking away.

Im a t1d to and i play soccer i was diagnosed at 21 months old i play goalkeeper and centerback

[@arials101]

He's no Jack Harrison.

[@jgeorge2693]

yup he's better

[@joshuasimmons8160]

@@jgeorge2693 Jack Harrison is in the Premier League and Jordan Morris is in MLS

[@LegrochaTV]

He looks like Wayne Rooney

[@fifadillon3819]

So pretty much if you don't go into academy you won't make it pro wow

[@jgeorge2693]

plenty of college players get drafted but Academy gets you further faster

[@brentw741]

American players are way to conservative. They play not to lose and are afraid of taking risks

[@justinark9154]

Smh all these adu comments whose talking now.

[@hworkdedication]

Look it's Freddy adu.

[@nexiusnews]

Typical Americans and their coddling of footballers. This is why Americans will never win anything because "everyone" gets a trophy mentality rules the day in football. He's not even the same class as Delle Alli,Eric Dier,Kingsly Coman,Rashford,Matial. They should scrutinize their footballers the same way they do their Basketball players. Anthony Davis,Okafor, D'angelo Russell,Ben Simmons. Will that piss off too many soccer moms?

[@nexiusnews]

Hey U Un Murican bastards u don't like Murica You can GERRRT out.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Interesting

[@FutbolCrazy13]

is it just me or is he kinda on the chubby side?

[@deadtome44]

I wouldn't say chubby at all, he's just built thicker than most soccer players
