Time to Board, It's Yanks Abroad (09/10 Edition)

A Roberto Maddolini appears with the U-14 team. Most likely a relation and another Yank.

 

Dave,

Just found this site (it might be old hat for you) but you can search from this page for Yanks. You'll have alot of MLS players and unaffiliated players, but you might turn up a couple of previously unknowns. You can search by country of birth or nationality to find Yanks. Just use the drop down boxes to the right.

I will say that site is a little out of date for some teams. I know a former Wizard (non-American) is listed as playing for the club in Argentina he played for last season.

 

True. But it's still better than trying to read French to get results for Westberg at ESTAC.

 

For French stuff I'm only a PM away. Just FYI.

 

Another Norwegian-American to add to the list:

Dave, do you know the citizenship status of Gabriel Funes?

He was the FCD's 2008 MLS Sueno winner, and made his debut for River Plate this past weekend.

All I know is that he moved to the states when he was 10.

I'd guess that if there was a US-eligible player actually getting first team minutes at River Plate...........we'd know it.

Euan Holden (Stuarts little bro) says he's off to England.

I would assume that is soccer related.

 

Dave,

I didn't see Ryan Raybould on your master list. Supposedly he has played for Gelfe in Sweden the past couple years after being with Kansas City.

He retired, he's going to law school at Notre Dame now.

 

Ah thanks.

 

What about Matthew Luzunaris, an '89 who appears to be at SK Rapid Wien II in the Austrian Regionalliga Ost?

Then there's San Diego-born '88 Reece Crowther of Wellington Phoenix FC, New Zealand's entry in the A-League:

Sahil Sandhu with an American flag next to his name. Says he's currently on loan at Cottbus in Germany. Where Axel Levry is.

 

Maybe thats incorrect.....

Matt Allen (Sandefjord) and Brian Waltrip (Molde) have left their Norwegian clubs.

I didn't know where to post this, so I'm putting it here. Interesting piece about what the early YAs (Trittschuh and Vermes) went through. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=723319&sec=us&root=us&cc=5901

 

Hey Dan,

Looks like another Yank potentially in Germany. I did a search on this forum and didn't see anything recent on Chris Wright, but he is an American on trial this week with Energie Cottbus' U23 side:
