It's official folks! Reports are surfacing that none other that the Mexico-killer himself Jordan Morris is headed to Germany to turn pro and join Werder Bremen. The former Champions League outfit has stumbled upon hard times in the relegation zone in the always-tough Bundesliga, and a Jan. 30 matchup against Hertha Berlin figures to be difficult for them.
As you can imagine, the American soccer fan is giddy with anticipation for the chance to see Morris possibly help Werder climb up the table to maybe 14th or 13th place. On the flip side, the MLS fan is unhappy and would like to see him become one of the league's current stars along with Robbie Keane, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard.
What's clear is that Morris has a tough decision and numerous thinkpieces are debating whether he should join Seattle or go to Bremen. In Seattle, he has the chance to become a superstar along with players in the city like fellow Stanford products Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin of the Seahawks. In Seattle, he'd make a much higher salary eventually. In Bremen, he can play with Clemens Fritz and Jannik Vestergaard. In Bremen, he'd be playing in the city that produced German tennis star Angelique Kerber and astronomer Wilhelm Matthias Olbers.
Watch this amazing pass by Morris to beat Inter Baku in a critical friendly!
It's a difficult decision for sure but I know which one I would choose. The IMOTGP staff wishes J-Mo the best.
UPDATED: It looks like Morris has made the wise choice to play in obscurity in the low-pressure MLS. Now he can't be relegated ever!
