    I still have no idea what the basis for this is. What appears to be his Facebook is inconclusive, and what appears to be his Instagram says "Irish."

    I haven't really looked into this, but this Google search will return some possible names of American players in Malta from the Maltese FA:

    Isn't that a great database? I wish the Brazilian and Spanish versions were maintained as well as the Portuguese one.

    Well ... all I know that his dad is the award winning Danish journalist Miki Mistrati

    http://www.dfi.dk/faktaomfilm/person/en/168818.aspx?id=168818

    ... I know nothing about his mother, but she obviously must be a Hammershøy (not to be confused with the famous Danish painter Hammershøi) considering his last name ... the only Hammershøy I know of, is Povl Vilhelm Hammershøy, who was the head of the Danish military intelligence service during WW2, obviously working as a spy against the nazis ... he was arrested by the Germans, but set free because they could not prove that he was a spy .. after the war he became a very high ranked Danish military attaché who served in Washington where he died, so it's quite possible he is related through one of his 3 daughters, of which one got married to an American. :

    Football Talents also says he's German-American.

    http://www.football-talents.co.uk/Mitchell_Timon_Jordan-3_7-16323-2.html

    Probably the American link is that he played for some amount of time at James Madison.

    http://www.jmusports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3297

    Of course, he could certainly have American citizenship or blood. But he's German-born according to T-Markt.

    New USMNT Chief Scout Thomas Rongen mentioned Malone in his Twitter feed today. Malone is tied for first in goals in the B-Junioren Bundesliga South/Southwest with 17.

    Rongen is a friend to the YA sleuths and obscurists among us. From that perspective, certainly, his appointment is most welcome.

    Wow -- for years I used this site for research and never woulda dreamed they'd detail dual citizenship like this.

    Start the thread! You earned it!

    As an aside, unless there's a trick I don't know about, the little nation flag doesn't show up in Google searches. More's the pity.

    Transfermarkt says a '97 named Muhamed Omanovic is Bosnia-American. He's listed on the first-team roster of MFK Zvolen.

    http://mfklokomotivazvolen.sk/hrac.asp?id=Muhamed-Omanovic-247&sezona=2017&kategorie=MUZ

    http://www.transfermarkt.com/muhamed-omanovic/profil/spieler/475350



    A Twitter feed with that name hasn't been updated in a while, but references "Lawrenceville GA."

    https://twitter.com/muhamedomanovic

    Here's a U.S.-based high school soccer report that also references him.

    Just logging this one here I guess, from a story about a Georgian immigrant that references his son Giorgi Baratashvili:

    “My whole life is changed; I have no desire to go back to Georgia,” Tano added, despite having friends and family who still live there. Since 1990, over 1.5 million Georgians have left the country, though many still send money back home. Tano still cares for his mother, but now that his sons are older, they have been able to support themselves. His oldest son, Dimitri, is 26 and works in a local Georgian restaurant. Giorgi, his younger son, is 22 and plays soccer professionally on FC Shevardeni 1906.

    I haven't easily been able to find much about the club online.

    https://www.linkedin.com/in/giorgi-baratashvili-768229100

    But here's Giorgi playing on LI:

    Here's a database site profile that has him as a Georgia-born '94 at Duruji.
