Should I stay or should I go? It seems left back position player, Miguel Angel Ponce, is a hot commodity. According to mlssoccer.com, Ponce's services are wanted on both the Mexico and U.S. clubs. Mexico, who are also participating in June's Gold Cup, decided to take an Under-22 squad to take part in the Copa América. Ponce is one of six Chivas players called by Tena. However, all this roster positioning and debate by these two clubs is not a huge concern for Ponce, in September 2010, Ponce told MLSsoccer.com, "I was born in America, but in my case, my family is Mexican, so I’m more Mexican than American. ... If the US is interested [in my services], then I haven’t noticed."
It seems Ponce will be sticking with Tena's Mexican club, yet this story does open up a good discussion regarding team/national allegiance and a player's career choices.
