Re: [nas] New Yank!

>From Big Soccer, fwiw:

"Jones has only played for Germany in friendlys that don't count. He would
have been ineligible because he played for Germany's U21 in official
matches, but these don't count anymore (see above). Fabian Johnson (1860
Munich) could play for the US too now.

What 60 day waiting period?

He should still be eligible to switch under the old rule because he only 
appeared in friendlies for Germany.  Chris Armas, Jeff Cunningham, and 
Martin Vasquez all played for other countries before playing for the US, and

they were allowed to switch because their matches for the other countries 
were only friendlies.  It seems that the same rule should apply to Jones.

I believe the new rule only applies to people who are cap tied via official 
youth matches but have not played in an official senior national team match.

Only matches in official competitions count - continental and World Cup 
Qualifiers, continental and World Cup finals matches, and Confed Cup.  Any 
other matches - even Chris Armas's Shell Cup matches for Puerto Rico in a 
pseudo-Gold Cup qualifier - count as friendlies and don't cap tie the 
player.
