Diego Iván Chavarri Rodriguez, a 1989 with Sporting Cristal in Peru, appears to have been born in New York. http://dechalaca.com/copaperu/debutantes-2009/diego-chavarri-de-nueva-york-al-rimac Looks like he's been playing for them this season, though he doesn't appear to be on their current roster page. http://cdn.peru.com/futbol/mam/descentralizado-2010/san-martin-vs-sporting-cristal/1788 http://goaldebronce.blogspot.com/2008/11/diego-chvarri.html From that link, a Peruvian father. With this said, Wiki seems uncertain about where he was born. It may be that some of these other reports are basing their own reports on Wiki. Can't be sure, at least not yet.
Re: Diego Chavarri at Sporting Cristal? He's with their "reservas" but doesn't seem to have a profile on the site. En este partido alternaron jugadores como Danny Sánchez, Diego Chávarri, Giancarlo Peña, Marcio Valverde, entre otros. Cabe resaltar, que el técnico Eduardo Asca hizo debutar al polifuncional jugador Giovanni Rubio, un juvenil de la categoría 93, que tuvo una aceptable participación. http://www.clubsportingcristal.com/...gano-amistoso-a-los-santos&catid=44&Itemid=49

Re: Diego Chavarri at Sporting Cristal? Despite the goalzo last weekend against Alianza Lima, Diego couldn't play today because he picked up a red cad at the end of last week too

Re: Diego Chavarri at Sporting Cristal? OK, so he's left-footed (despite the cracker he scored with his right) and he plays as a flank. Now we just need him to learn to defend and - boom! - problem solved. Left back a la Peru.
Re: Diego Chavarri at Sporting Cristal? English... not great. But good enough for a basic conversation.
Re: Diego Chavarri at Sporting Cristal? If you keep practicing, Brian, it'll get better. I think from now on whenever these dual citizen's who didn't live here much express interest in playing for the US, the next question should be "can you sing the US national anthem?"
Re: Diego Chavarri at Sporting Cristal? There are a lot of people born and raised in the US that can't sing the anthem. Watch the Super Bowl?
Re: Diego Chavarri at Sporting Cristal? Just a tidbit Out of Jermaine Jones, Fabian Hurzeler, Diego Chavarri, Danny Williams, and Timothy Chandler the guy who had the best English was Danny Williams by far. What's interesting and funny about that is the fact that Danny has never even been to the United States. Of course Mix Diskerud and Alex Zahavi both have near-flawless English but they have been to the US more than the other guys (and Zahavi has lived in England too)
