USA soccer has another upcoming talent with a bright future, but European national team is making a push

Rokas Pukstas, a young soccer player born in Oklahoma, is making waves in the international soccer scene. He currently plays professionally in Croatia and has attracted the attention of the Lithuanian national team, who are making a push to have him represent them. However, Pukstas' dream is to play for the United States Men's National Team (USMNT). Despite being born in the United States, Pukstas has dual Lithuanian and American citizenship, making him eligible to play for both national teams. The Lithuanian team has been actively pursuing Pukstas, recognizing his potential and talent. However, the USMNT is also keeping a close eye on the young player, hoping to secure his services for their own squad. Pukstas' story highlights the growing competition for talented soccer players with dual nationalities, as European national teams seek to bolster their rosters with promising young players. The outcome of this tug-of-war could have significant implications for the future of the USMNT and the player's own international career.
