Arsenal America :)
Loyal ArseAmers knew all about Danny Karbassiyoon back in the winter months when we featured news about his joining Arsenal.
As we talked with Frankie Simek a couple of times over the season we'll look to hook up with Danny too and let him know that there are many North American Gooners who will be rooting for him.

It's kind of cool that Arsenal has two Americans on the books there.
More than any other club in England, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure someone will, this is BigSoccer after all http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif)

Frank Simek, also on the reserve squad. I think he's been living in England for a long time, but he was born in the US and plays in the USNMT system.

He will be selected, barring injury, for the US U20 team. Not sure if he'll start, but he should get some minutes.

Yeah, IIRC he didn't get much playing time in qualifying.

Spurs (waits for boos to quieten) have Kasey Keller and are more than likely to sign a 15 year old from Atlanta (he was in the USA-England U17s game a few days ago)
