FC Dallas goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez has said that he would prefer to play for Mexico rather than the United States, should the dual national ever get a call-up.

The 21-year-old Mexican-American verbally accepted an invite to the U.S. camp in 2016, then changed his mind and joined El Tri's Olympic-bound under-23 team instead.

Although he has played for Mexico's U-20s and U-23s, starting two of three matches for the former at the 2015 U20 World Cup, he is eligible for either country until he plays on a senior team.
