His story carries a distinctly Dutch flavor.
Jaco Bos grew up supporting Feyenoord before moving to Australia after a backpacking trip in 1997, where he met Jordan’s mother Sandra.
A childhood photo of Jordan wearing Feyenoord’s famous red-and-white shirt has since become popular among fans. Years later, he’s fulfilling his father’s dream, playing for the club he grew up with from the other side of the world.
Boss’s next challenge comes against the United States in Friday’s Group D encounter, where he could find himself up against a familiar face.
USA defender Sergino Dest, another player who could represent the Netherlands internationally, is at PSV Eindhoven – a fellow member of the Dutch ‘Big Three’ Feyenoord – and knows exactly what Boas can do in open space.
Despite being a full-back by trade usually deployed up the pitch for the USMNT, Dest could match himself directly against the boss on Australia’s left flank.
A strong performance against the co-hosts would further boost the boss’ growing reputation, with Premier League clubs monitoring his progress.
The Australian, though, has repeatedly insisted he is in no rush to leave Rotterdam and younger brother Casey has joined city rivals Excelsior on loan from Mainz, meaning the pair will live and play a few kilometers apart next season.
For now, the boss is where he wants to be. But the fastest player at this year’s World Cup is quickly showing why he can make great strides on the game’s biggest stage.
