If we were actually going to the WC next year, I'd probably agree with you about holding off on bringing this kid in. But since we're not I'm for holding what would amount to open trials using 2 squads; a European Squad and an Americans Squad for the next 6 months or so... We've got the January Camp for the US Based player and the March Window for the European based players. Then there's the Summer friendlies before the WC before we have to find a New Manager. Give all these players a chance to showcase themselves for the future.

America's: Steffen, Gonzalez, Glad, Redding, Zimmerman, Birnbaum, Lima, D. Acosta, Farfan, Garza, Adams, Lletget, Gonzalez, Roldan, Manneh, Rowe, Morris, Dwyer, Agudelo

European: Horvath, Hamid, Brooks, Miazga, CCV, Yedlin, Moore, Olosunde, Robinson, Green, Saief, Pulisic, Amon, Gooch, McKennie, Scott, Parks, Boyd, ArJo, Sargent, Wood

I do believe it is possible if you designate one side a "B" side, but I dare say the "B" side cannot contain players that have received more than a few caps. I would also assume players in the "B" side would receive no official recognition for playing an international match since there would be a designated "A" team getting the official results.

And here comes the American youth injury curse. Brian Scarrietta reporting Amon has what is called a Tibia Bone Stress. Out indefinitely possibly back in spring.
