    Nice find. I think you meant this for the last link(?):

    Transfermarkt now says two U19s at Ludwigshafener SC in Germany are "Amis." One is Marcus Hawk, who I've had on a watchlist for a while (he was at Kaiserslautern at one time), and the other is Malcolm Little, who I've never heard of. They are both listed with the club for the upcoming "Saison."

    Malcolm X? That will make Googling him a lot of fun.

    I started a thread for José de la Tejera here, but he problem belongs in this thread.

    As pointed out by Hararea in the Youth Yanks Abroad thread in the Youth National team forum, de la Tejera's Development Academy page lists his nationality as the United States and his country of citizenship as Mexico. The Mexican league site lists his place of origin as Leon, Mexico.

    He is part of the Santos Laguna U-20s

    Thanks for this. Seems unlikely, but I suppose he could have an American parent or parents. Did play some college ball here, as you noted, but came over from South Africa to do so; consequently, his American connections are unclear...

    With that said, given that clubs need to know these things for passport/clearance purposes it may be true after all. I'll send the club a note and see if they response.

    Pretty sure we can count this guy. I think he's part of the Sonoma State/NorCal ecosystem that routinely sends guys to European teams. (Funny, I think I just looked for him a day or so a go and they hadn't updated their roster online. Nice catch.)

    The player Dylan Alexis Romney, who Transfermarkt says is American, is currently on loan to Varese (Primavera I think) from Inter. Some other database sites also seem to indicate he's American, but I'm not sure how. Anybody know? (I have sent a note to Varese in hopes of finding out.)

    This site has him born 8/7/92 in Dearborn, MI:

    Good enough?

    The Soccer-Talents web site says VfB Oldenburg's Shaun Minns is a Yank. Haven't been able to confirm this yet.

    He joined the team this summer from FC Oberneuland.

    Der VfB Oldenburg hat am Freitag seinen zweiten Neuzugang für die kommende Saison unter Vertrag genommen. Vom FC Oberneuland wechselt Shaun Minns zu den Blauen.
    ​
    http://www.vfb-oldenburg.de/magazin/artikel.php?artikel=3899&type=2&menuid=266&topmenu=266

    Transfermarkt only has him as German.

    http://www.transfermarkt.com/en/shaun-minns/profil/spieler_83864.html

    His manager is a fellow named Alexander Nouri, who some longtime posters may remember.

    Transfermarkt lists Andres Flores of Isidro Metapan as a dual citizen of El Salvador and the United States. He has 23 caps for El Salvador.

    I can't find any other reference to him being a U.S. citizen, though, and I can't find any connection to the US.

    Transfermarkt lists Nigerian-born '88 striker Badum Maaloo of Germany's Waldhof Mannheim II (5th tier - Badischer Fussballerverband) as American:

    http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/badum-maaloo/profil/spieler_255482.html

    As do a couple of other sites:

    http://www.fussball-talente.com/Badum_Maaloo-3_7-129855-1.html
    http://www.cvgoal.com/en/footballer/badum-maaloo/1/

    Full name Badum Django Maaloo, seems like English is his first language:
    https://twitter.com/NaijaRisto

    Any thread on him will have to take full advantage of that middle name.



    There is a Badum Maaloo who came to the US at about the right age as a refugee in 1999 (see p. 10):

    http://www.ucc.org/assets/pdfs/rj.pdf

    I'm thinking that's probably him. Not the most common name in the US among boys that age.

    He's already come up several times in the Adam Afghani thread:

    Transfermarkt says an American '92 name Julien Dragomir is at a Romanian club called ACS Poli Timisoara.

    There is such a player, from Arizona, and he was originally bound for UNLV this fall after playing a season at Yavapai. However, he's not on UNLV's roster.

    That said, I can't find mention of him at the Romanian club either -- apart from a summer trial.

    http://www.opiniatimisoarei.ro/acs-...entia-celor-de-la-benfica-lisabona/20/07/2013

    There is a player named Dragomir there, but I think his first name's Vlad and he's in the academy.

    I could have this all wrong.
