The result was delete. Sourced mention already in the USMNT article, which is all that is needed. Not seeing a consensus for a redirect to that specific section, but won't stand in anyone's way who wishes to create one. Fenix down (talk) 18:17, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Explanation: The Jurgen Americans players, toghether with the head coach Jurgen Klinsmann (from Germany), kicked off a German wave and shaped the history of U.S. national soccer team from 2011-2018. Jurgen Americans is not the first group in the long list of U.S. soccer players born outside the U.S., but they are the ones sparking the most vocal and widest criticism (women's national captain Abby Wambach and former U.S. coach Bruce Arena openly complained). Hence, there has been sustained coverage in every year from 2011-2018 (see the publication dates of the cited news) by reliable media, including the British and Australian press, on the Germanzied atmosphere of U.S. soccer and the complaints of non-U.S. born squad, though not all media necessarily use the term "Jurgen Americans". From this, I am happy to move the current article to United States men's national soccer team under Jurgen Klinsmann (though it would be heavily imbalanced, since most of the current content is on squad selection).

 * Delete though a number of papers used it and it's not made up, it still seems to be a non-notable neologism. SportingFlyer  T · C  23:20, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge with US men's national soccer team. Zoozaz1 talk 01:47, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge as above, worth a mention on the USMNT article in the section about Klimsmann's time in charge, but nothing more. GiantSnowman 18:39, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete By all means use the material in the article, in other articles such as United States men's national soccer team (though it hardly related to the current squad - perhaps it would fit in the otherwise completely unreferenced United States men's national soccer team results) or Jurgen Klinsmann - but a merge itself would leave what I think is a completely unnecessary redirect.
