New Hopes

Teal Bunbury has recently decided to make the U.S. his choice of a team instead of Canada.  He is choosing not to follow in his father's footsteps, who scored 16 goals for Canada's national team, but his father is okay with is decision.  Since Bunbury has lived in the United States in Minnesota for most of the last decade with his mother this gave him the option to either play for the U.S. or Canada.  He evidently chose the U.S and more specifically the Kansas City Wizards.  He was a skilled athlete even in college where he attended Akron and won the Herman Trophy as the college player of the year there.  He reasoned for his choice of the U.S. was because he wanted to play in the World Cup and get to know the strategies of Bob Bradely's coaching.  In the end, Bunbury is not tied to the U.S. by any means until he plays in an official match, either the CONACAF Gold Cup or the World Cup Qualifier.
