A few sites say Luxembourg national-pool player and '98 Dirk Carlson is American-born. Haven't been able to confirm. http://www.transfermarkt.com/dirk-carlson/profil/spieler/341530 http://www.fupa.net/spieler/dirk-carlson-766506.html http://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/season=2018/teams/player=250079463/index.html
Also Transfermarkt and Soccer-Talents. http://www.fussball-talente.com/Benedict_Laverty-3_7-65320-1.html http://www.transfermarkt.de/benedict-laverty/profil/spieler/445349 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: "player info" "united states" site:mfa.com.mt/en/leagues/leagues/
ZeroZero says FC Helsingor (DEN) '92 Vito Edgar Hammershoy-Mistrati is Danish-American. Haven't been able to confirm this from his current or former clubs or even his agency. Apparently he was born in a place called Mianus, which could be in Connecticut. http://fchelsingor.dk/spillertruppen/ http://www.thinkball.com.br/2012-05-01-18-20-39/vito-mistrati http://www.zerozero.pt/player.php?id=280203&edicao_id=87176 @Ceres, any idea?
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. : https://www.geni.com/people/Povl-Vilhelm-Hammershøy/6000000002602224735 http://denstoredanske.dk/Dansk_Biografisk_Leksikon/Forsvar_og_politi/Officer/P.V._Hammershøy
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. http://www.transfermarkt.com/mitchell-jordan/profil/spieler/260048
A number of database sites have an American '98 named Juan Cortina at Union Magdalena in Colombia. Have not been able to confirm. Example: http://us.soccerway.com/players/juan-sebastian-cortina--ramirez/444588/ http://www.mackolik.com/Futbolcu/461135/Juan-Cortina On Twitter: https://twitter.com/juancorti10
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.
Weltfussball has him as German-born with dual citizenship. http://www.worldfootball.net/player_summary/darius-strode/
Maurice Malone has been called up to a Germany U-17 training camp. DFB's official site confirms him as German-American, so it's time for him to have a thread. http://www.dfb.de/u-17-junioren/team-und-trainer/?no_cache=1
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. https://www.google.com/webhp?source...alone++site:http://datencenter.dfb.de/profil/
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. http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/ar...cle_572b2bab-91c3-566d-9b67-c1d3f7ce416e.html
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. https://www.longislandadvance.net/4051/A-new-beginning-in-Bellport 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: http://www.lisfl.org/teams/71698718/71709959-71698790/76264146.html Here's a database site profile that has him as a Georgia-born '94 at Duruji. http://www.scoresway.com/?sport=soccer&page=player&id=372059
For what it might or might not be worth, David Wagner grabbed Quaner for Huddersfield. http://www.htafc.com/news/article/2...er-transfer-signing-david-wagner-3529332.aspx
