Yeah Akindele isn't a huge loss and you can't blame the guy, he legitimately grew up in the states not like JDG2 or Whoregreaves or somebody.
It is kind of lame that Klinsmann pulled this crap though... apparently he had accepted the callup for Canada and when Klinsmann found out he called him at the 11th hour and invited him to the American camp. Kid should really be smarter than that, he's not in their camp on merit, they will totally Bunbury him, give him a single cap and then never use him again just so Canada doesn't get him.
But hard to care too much anyway... we could use another striker option though.
