All, Here is the latest Confirmed Yanks Abroad list. On top of this, my "Unconfirmed" list has more than 150 guys on it and I have more than 40 guys who might be U.S. citzens but I'm not sure about 'em. I'll be updating this list constantly over the course of the year based on my research and your news and updates, so please be patient with me -- and, as always, pass along whatever news or tidbits you have. If you have reason to keep something "quiet" you are welcome to PM or email me. The usual disclaimers apply. I reserve the right to be wrong or out-of-date. And I continue to be interested in maintaining a list of all Yanks Abroad, not U.S. national team players only. With that said, let's go! From Al-Madon to Zlateff...

Mods, please feel free to make this a sticky and "de-sticky" the old one.
Dave, Great job as always! A minor note: I'm pretty sure that Norkus is back in the USA now. Edit: Yes, he is with the Islanders (https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=221405).
As Hank pointed out above, I am never wrong... However, in this case "1921" is part of the full name of the club. Kind of like "Bayer 04 Leverkusen." http://www.sv-kyllburg.de/
Oh, here's one more note to readers... For the latest list (not that I promise frequent updates), always start from the last post of this thread. I can't edit the original post, so any updates will be pasted to the end of this thread. Good night, folks.
A lot players eligible for the baby nats; I wonder how many of 'em will actually get called up. (Besides the ones we already know about). Thanks for the work, as always, Dave. BTW, Russell Payne is now one of the two assistant coaches at his alma mater, Maryland, so I'm presuming his days as a YA are over. http://umterps.collegesports.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/payne_russell00.html
Thanks for the news on Payne. I'll check it out later today and make changes as needed. I also need to add Helmis Matute to the list, as well as a number of others.

Dave - great job as always. Just an update on a former Yank Abroad - Charlie Jacob is still playing at Columbia U, he's a senior now. I will try to find out about Jon Peterson.
Stefani Miglioranzi, played at St. John's, is at Swindon in England. I know he has US citizenship, I think duel with Italy.
I don't think anyone has been able to confirm that Miglioranzi has US citizenship. He was born in Brazil, lived in the US and has Italian heritage, so he could actually have more than one citizenship.
Peter Benevides appears to have left Margate http://www.margate-fc.com/squad.php looks like he may be trying to catch on with a team over here http://www.fansfocus.com/forum/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/599599/an/0/page/4#599599
Carlos Menjivar has played in several LA Galaxy reserve games over the summer, so I'd guess he's probably left El Salvador.
amazing list man, that yanks-abroad.com is one of my favorite websites but you take it to the next level.
How does George Weah Junior qualify as an American? I have him on my football manager team in 2010, and he has scored 50 goals in all competitions this year including internationals...for italy.
Is there a list somewhere that shows the salaries of the YAs (at least the ones making the most money)?
I think he was born in France but spent most of his childhood here. His mom might be american...one of Weah Sr.'s ex-wifes is american but I'm not sure if it's this one's mom.
Good find, a google search finds him on the amateur team AFC34, at least I think that is what this news release is saying. I believe it also says he had trials at FC Groningen and Feyenoord. AFC34 news release (dutch) I think AFC34 is in the dutch fourth division this year according to rssf they were relegated from thrid division last season. Netherlands 2004/05 Third to Tenth Level
Did he get there before Low joined Sligo Rovers? More importantly, have we ever had a Hawaiian playing in Nepal?
