    Man, you guys are a bunch of softies. It wasn't even my hat!

    And, sadly, my mustaches ... well, let's just say they don't come in looking awesome.

    Plus..............you've had the picture as long as I can remember.

    A 2016 version might be an older guy hunched over a keyboard trying madly to find information about an 18 year old Texan in a German youth academy.

    That picture was taken in 2011. I've still got the same amount of hair, all my teeth and similarly dorky internet habits. Could be worse.

    Amateurs who sign in Germany have to be registered during a transfer window. Although it seems Gaines had already hammered out an agreement with Wolfsburg, he turned 18 in March so he couldn't be registered until the summer. He is now able to play in real games and has been starting for their U19 team. He scored over the weekend.

    Of course, it helps that probably half the squad is off on international duty or waiting to get transferred.

    Gaines is one of five U19s called up for this match (the guys with numbers in the 40s), all of whom are on the bench.

    Timothy Mason, who DNP for Wolfsburg in that match, is a possible YA.

    I think the bundesliga is going to beome the league of yanks after German clubs get finished raiding all the youth teams in the next couple of years.
