U.S. Soccer, which just called the '95 in for a U18 camp, says he's with Lorient: MIDFIELDERS (7): Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas; Plano, Texas), Osvaldo Chavez (Texas Rush; El Paso, Texas), Marco Delgado (Chivas USA; Glendora, Calif.), Nicholas Gaitan (Argentinos Juniors; Oceanside, N.Y.), Romain Gall (FC Lorient; Herndon, Va.), Adam Najem (New York Red Bulls; Clifton, N.J.), William Raygoza (LA Galaxy; South El Monte, Calif.) http://www.ussoccer.com/news/u-18-m...s-names-roster-for-january-training-camp.aspx I haven't been able to find any mention of him on the club's site yet. His name's been mentioned in other U.S. soccer circles in the past, including various MLS academy squads and his involvement in Brad Friedel's academy: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=531633

i can vouch his has signed with youth for Lorient. He is a terrific player on the rise and is tearing up u18 camp presently. There is a reason why he was at PSA as the youngest player.
Gall played for them in July: 1. ZERILLO Franck ; 4. WATCHER Yoann (cap.) ; 8. LAVIGNE Valentin ; 9. PICOUX William ; 10. CHARRUAU Thomas ; 13. KARAMOKO Amadou ; 14. VIARD Tom ; 15. MANZINGA Christy ; 17. GALL Romain ; 18. FOFANA Séko ; 20. HENAFF Korentin http://www.fclweb.fr/actualite/article/fcl-eag-u2aa-resume-du-match
Scored vs Holland: http://www.ussoccer.com/News/U-18-M...18-MNT-in-42-Win-Against-the-Netherlands.aspx
Called up to the U-18s for a trip to Lisbon to face the Czech Republic, Portugal, & Hungary: http://www.ussoccer.com/news/u-18-mnt/2013/05/u18-mnt-commence-10-day-trip-to-portugal.aspx
And he scored twice against the Czechs in a 3-0 win: http://www.socceramerica.com/article/51744/us-u-18s-open-with-3-0-over-czech-republic.html
Tried again, with no better result than with the other thread. Friedel'sAccent FA can you see if you can do this?
Glad we got it sorted. And here I was getting all bummed out by an article LinkedIn sent me saying that advanced degrees in the Humanities didn't prepare you for work in today's IT environment.
And he scored the US's lone goal today against Portugal: FT: U.S. U18 1-1 Portugal U18. @RomainGall with the lone goal for the U.S. U18s play Hungary on Saturday.— J.R. Eskilson (@JREskilson) May 23, 2013
Wow. Guy can't stop scoring. Not bad for a guy named after lettuce and a small organ that aids mainly in fat digestion (to quote the big W).
An interview with Romain Gall talking about his French/American dual nationality, today's US-France U20 World Cup game, his progress at FC Lorient and the US U18s, and the 2015 U20 World Cup Interview here
Committed to Maryland https://twitter.com/TopDrawerSoccer/status/355173418477424641 Backup plan? Not sure the story here
Maybe but could also be leverage in contract talks? Any contract has to be at least 100k guaranteed money in that case.
