At halftime of last nights game, USSF President Sunil Gulati was asked about the availability of Edgar Castillo to which Gulati answered that Edgar Castillo's application to switch his eligibility back to the U.S. has been approved by FIFA. The New Mexico-born left back had played four games (all friendlies) for the Mexican national team under former coach Hugo Sánchez but had disappeared from the picture under Sven-Göran Eriksson and current coach Javier Aguirre.
Castillo is now eligible for a call-up from Bradley as early as the Americans' qualifier at Honduras on Oct. 10, should Bradley choose to do so. Judging by how poorly Bornstein played Saturday night, it might not be a bad time to give the 22-year-old Castillo a look.
This is excellent news. Call him up immediately if not sooner. No word on Jermaine Jones application however, but stay tuned as a decision could be quite imminent.
