With Wilstermann, evidently playing regularly this year in the Libertadores: http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/cristhian-machado-player-stats In action against Palmeiras this March: http://www.zimbio.com/photos/Cristh...orge+Wiltersmann+Copa+Bridgestone/ZXzBy1bwdYI He's a '90 who apparently has dual citizenship, which he used to qualify as a local player in a past stint with Tampa Bay. http://elmundo.com.bo/web2/index.php/noticias/index?id=157 http://staugustine.com/sports/2015-02-28/armada-earn-1-0-shutout-over-strikers T'Markt says he has a single BMNT cap: https://www.transfermarkt.com/cristhian-machado/transfers/spieler/178581
Not sure if he is American or not. But he would be captied to Bolivia because he played the second half of Bolivia's loss to Argentina at the Copa America Centenario last summer in Seattle.
I haven't asked him personally, and haven't quickly found a Tampa Bay announcement, but I was basing it on this (from the El Mundo story above -- the link for which seems to be broken): Formará parte de la plantilla como jugador americano, debido a la doble nacionalidad que posee. http://elmundo.com.bo/web2/index.php/noticias/index?id=15775
It's plausible that he has double nationality. His father lived in the US for a long time if he got citizenship before Christian was 18 then he could have managed it. Anyhoo, what a golazo tonight by Christian.
Looks like he is coming on loan to the Revs for a couple of years: #FichajesBO | #Wilstermann llegó a un acuerdo con #NewEnglandRevolution, de la #MLS, para cederle a Cristhian Machado por dos años.Más sobre el mercado de pases ► https://t.co/vspcEo70BN pic.twitter.com/oS3Wke8Mfd— Late (@latebol) December 29, 2017 #Wilstermann reached an agreement with #NewEnglandRevolution, to yield to Cristhian Machado for two years Report #NERevs signing 27 yo Bolivian central defensive midfielder on 2-year loan deal.

Finally closed the deal with the Revs: https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018...sign-bolivian-international-cristhian-machado The article says he has a Green Card, rather than citizenship.
