    This is a super-inefficient way of looking at this, but this page is the full list of players with American nationality in FBRef. Unfortunately for our purposes it includes both men and women and players listed with clubs in past years. But at least it's easy to scan! (Hopefully I'll find a better way to refine/search this site.)

    Not that we ever really rolled with this, but a well-placed source informs me that, as suspected, he's not American.

    Abu Kamara

    I'll add this one here. Only a TM reference to US citizenship (which is complicated by a TM listing for a Liberian player of the same name -- and we know of occasional confusion between the 2 flags):

    I've tried on several occasions to try to figure out why this is (the first time I saw it, I guessed it was a Tomkinson-related error) and haven't been able to figure anything out, to my frustration.

    He's not a great fit for this thread -- we know he's a Yank, and we know where he is club-wise -- but there are definitely several places he is being discussed. (If you're interested in discussing multi-national YNT players generally, check the Youth National Teams forum!)

    Shouldnt he be in yanks abroad? He has already played for the first team of Club Santos. Surely because he is a dual nat should not keep him from it. Soto is still being wooed by Chile.

    He does have a thread:

    https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/santiago-muñoz-at-santos-laguna.2085994/#post-36986850

    If you tried to find him by "Munoz," note that the BS search function has to have the correct accent marks so "Munoz" won't yield a "Muñoz."

    I've requested that he be moved to YA, but some people seem to have me on ignore (*cough* @bungadiri *cough* @TheFalseNine *cough*).

    I've got a bet going with some of the other mods on who can rack up the most alerts, so I always delay until I get one or two mentions.

    Noticed this on twitter, and it seems to be some random guy saying it but thought I'd post this here any ways.....

    Of course, an American grandmother doesn't guarantee US citizenship.

    The (quite reasonable) question raised by @BostonRed aside, after a bit of searching, it doesn't seem that this information was sitting anywhere easily findable. I found what appear to be both parents' names and neither one led me easily to a story/link/etc. that would support a U.S. connection. (Usual disclaimer: My inability to find something quickly doesn't mean it's not out there.)

    This still has some of the same issues, but it now shows (what it says are) the players who are currently active in boldface. Still the most efficient way to search this database that I have found, however.

    My skepticism was well founded. Turns out Jonathan Tomkinson confirmed he isn't eligible:

    He's a Yank:

    https://www.ncsasports.org/mens-soc...ore-mattei--liceo-scientifico-/alex-hathaway2

    I've grown up playing soccer in Italy but am a dual US/Italian citizen. I am motivated to go to college in the United States because I believe that studying in the USA will provide me with a competitive advantage in the job market, half of my family is in the USA and I think that my abilities on the soccer field will contribute positively to a competitive college team.

    My current team is the Italian 4th division team ("Serie D") US Fiorenzuola 1922 where I play as an outside midfielder, either left or right as I'm comfortable playing with both feet.

    Transfermarkt says Shayan Khademi playing for Machine Sazi Tabriz in the Iranian 1st division is Iranian-American. It looks like he spent two years playing college ball at Lafayette before heading overseas.

    Do we know if Valentin Sabella who was at Charlotte Independence is a citizen or not? Transfermarkt says he is and that he just signed in the Mexican second division.
