    Hey, here's the first interview I've seen with the guy who turned out to be the first American to play at the New Wembley Stadium when MK Dons won that 3rd/4th division cup thing they have there.

    I remember him not turning out for the US u-20 side, and I remember that it was on Mark Hughes's advice. I'd like to see him in an expanded sQUAD. I recognize that he's a league 2 guy, but he's a creative winger/striker with pace, and he contributed a lot to MK getting promoted this season.

    He can now be called a "League One" guy, right?!? Here's another article, similar to HD's: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/st ... ad&cc=5901

    In the long run, I think his career will be well-served by his experience working through the lower-leagues with MK Dons.

    After getting frozen out down the stretch last season [for allegedly not negotiating a new contract], Jemal Johnson has signed a new two-year contract with MK Dons [according to Sky Sports News]. Paul Ince's return has stopped the madness. Johnson led L1 in assists last season even though he hardly played beyond the end of March. MK Dons supporters believe he would have made the difference during the playoffs, had he even been selected to sit on the bench.

    Let's hope he has a good season and maybe gets another chance with the national team.
