Rumours are saying that Donte Green could play in Germany after the Olympia!
He is born in Munich and lived there for 3 or 4 years and he likes this country.

Donte Green played for the US U-18 national team and he cannot represent another nation.

isn't the rule that you can choose another country until you reach the age for "real" nationalteam? I might be wrong though
edit: the linked article says that it is possible to join another national team but it can be pretty tough to do. Hakeem Olajuwon played for a youth NT of Nigeria but after he became an US citizen he played for the USA. since Green calls Germany his homecountry I guess he might consider playing here which would be awesome.
