Rumor out there is that this young man has moved to Germany: OLIVER LARRAZ #60 PLAYER PROFILE Year of Birth: 2001 Position: Midfielder Hometown: Denver , CO Nationality: United States EDUCATION Graduation Year: 2019 His Instagram bio lists this now: Oliver Larraz Denver • Düsseldorf Footballer @msvduisburg https://www.instagram.com/oli.larraz/ '01 Oliver Larraz:Colorado Rapids ➡️ Germany pic.twitter.com/ynX22e6kbB— Joey (@USAprospects) July 12, 2019 Not listed on the club site that I could find. He's played for the US U14s before.
Also appears to be a hockey player of some ability. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/693056/oliver-larraz He apparently graduated high school this year, and I can't easily find any college commitment info, so while I may have missed it, sounds like this young man was determined to play non-scholastic soccer somewhere. (With that said, if he's not a pro, I guess he could still come back to NCAA ball if he wanted.)
doesn't seem to be a rumor... Spelersbanken: #Brendieck, #Budimbu, #Williams, #Larraz, #Karweina, #Jansen, #Sliskovic.— MSV Duisburg (@MSVDuisburg) November 14, 2019 he didn't play.

In popular culture[edit] Tatort, a popular crime series in Germany, features an episode entitled Zweierlei Blut [de] (Blood of Two Kinds) which deals with a murder in the MSV Duisburg hooligan scene. In one scene, Inspector Horst Schimanski is beaten to a pulp and dragged naked into the centre circle of the Wedaustadion.
Congratulations to him! "It's obviously a dream come true and everything I've ever wanted since I first joined the club." pic.twitter.com/UK0SMEay0L— Colorado Rapids (@ColoradoRapids) March 3, 2021 We got ourselves a new 𝕳𝖔𝖒𝖊𝖌𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖓!Welcome to @MLS, Ollie ✍️— Colorado Rapids (@ColoradoRapids) March 3, 2021
