He brought that same commitment and diligence to his recovery from knee injuries on the soccer field -not once but twice. His perseverance is inspiring and now he’s heading to his first World Cup as part of the USA team going to Qatar. 26 Stories presented by Volkswagen.

  1. People can say whatever they want about Jordan making the trip, but you can’t for a second knock his character. Type 1 diabetes, two ACL tears, and this guy is still going to the World Cup. We should be proud to have someone like that on our roster.

  2. I love You so much Jordan You are so great American Legend for me and I love all players of American Nationalist Soccer teams.πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‡πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ€—β€πŸ€πŸ’™πŸ’ͺπŸ‘πŸ™

  3. Honestly, the ppl commenting on here just to bash a fellow countryman is disgusting. I agree he hasn't looked great since his injuries and there were options playing at a higher lvl. But he didn't take the spot from anyone. Coaching staff choose players. He worked just as hard as any other player in our pool. Coaches saw something and went w him. Simple as that. It's those types of fans that will hold this program back. Not players in MLS or any other league around the world.

  4. This story gives me a little more sympathy for him being on the roster over Tillman, but… he also scored that important header, I think in nations league, wherever that dirty field game happened. Congrats, I have liked you and was sad when the acl tear happened. Stay confident and ready to make an impact, it takes just one goal to make yourself a legend

  5. Idk why all the hate ive been a soccer fan all my life played since i was 3 and ive always thought Jordan was a solid player. Keep ya head up Morris most of us love ya

  6. Ok I got 3 things to say .
    1. I did not know Morris had type 1 , but like they say you learn something new every day
    2. Why the heck was he picked for the squad when their was better options , like I say Gregg does Gregg things πŸ˜’hopefully nothing goes wrong
    3. Morris getting picked is like unexpectedly seeing that one kid show up to your bd party (which you have not seen in years) , just because your dad liked him it makes no sense.

  7. People have short term memories but I remember when Morris was the man, especially in 2019 he was an absolute stud for this team carrying Berhalter in his early tenure. That second tear really put a halt to his ascendance but I am happy for him.

  8. Honestly he is the only MLS guy that i wasnt mad about making the roster. He was the only decent player we had before this new generation.
