What connection does the Norwegian on the US Men's National Team have to CASL?

Yes, a strange question....but bear with me. There is a player, Mikkel Diskerud, on the US Men's National team. Mix, as he is called, grew up in Oslo, Norway. His father is Norwegian and his mother is an American from Arizona. He moved through the soccer ranks in Norway and played on various national teams as well as a professional squad, as a youth for Norway. Due to his mother's heritage, Mix could also play for the US. He was called up to play for both the US Under 20 and the Norwegian Under 20 team. Players do not have to decide until they are called up, and play, for one of the full national teams as to which country they will represent for the rest of their career. Mix was called up for the US first and has 3 caps (playing in 3 games) for our national team. He had determined that he would go by the "first come, first served" philosophy and the US called him up first. Therefore, his national team fortunes lie with the US!
How does this fit into CASL, you may ask! In the summer of 2008, one of the parents, Bill Bullock, of my 1993 CASL Spartan Elite White team, arranged a trip to Scandinavia for the team. We were the first American side to play in a tournament, the Eskils Cupen in Helsingborg Sweden, in the 40+ year history of the event. We were quite an attraction being the only American team of 650+ teams in the tournament. The team did very well and took home the champion's and fair play trophies for the tournament.
Then the group traveled to Norway where we played two friendlies. Our tour operator, arranged for two 17 year old Norwegian soccer players to be our tour guides in Oslo. They were Chris Ager and, yes, you guessed it, Mikkel Diskerud. Therefore, our tour guides from 3 summers ago both play in the US or for the US. Chris is a player at Boston College, so he was down in our area for the ACC Soccer Tournament and Mix is training with the US National team at the same complex, WakeMed Soccer Park.
I guess there is only one explanation, "IT IS A SMALL WORLD!!"
