Neven Subotic ditches United States to play for Serbia BELGRADE, Serbia — Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic has decided to play international football for Serbia instead of the United States. Serbia coach Radomir Antic said Friday the Bosnian-born Subotic, who holds an American passport and has played for the United States at under-17 level, has opted to join Serbia's senior national team. Antic plans to pair the 20-year-old Subotic with Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic in the centre of Serbia's defence in next year's World Cup qualifiers. He is expected to make his debut in a friendly against Cyprus in February. Subotic, who has scored five goals for Borussia this season in the German Bundesliga, has been linked with a move to Napoli in the Italian Serie A during the January transfer window.

I never got around to understanding the rules about what country you can play for and so on. But he will be more appreciated on the Serbian team, soccer isn't that big in the USA as far as I know.
