    To be fair to them. Everyone speaks or eventually has to speak English. Same mentality many Americans has. For better or worse.

    Starting against PSG now in the French Cup last 16. He scored there earlier this year with a real cracker.

    2-0 loss for Nantes and now out of both cup competitions, leaving a very slim hope for Europe next year. So other than Fabian at Gladbach, Green at Bayern if he somehow makes their team, or maybe Yedlin at Spurs, next year looks like very few Yanks will be playing in Europe, at least in the major leagues.

    There are still a number in the minor leagues that are in good contention

    Just to name a few

    Johannsson at AZ
    Pearce at Goteborg
    Crnkic at Jablonec
    Picault at Sparta Prague
    Romero at FC Pyunik
    Saief at Gent
    Gerzicich at Maccabi Petah Tikva

    For the first time ever, an American-born coach in John Caulfield will coach a team in Europe for Cork City when it plays in Europa qualifiers

    I'd add Zelalem, Pelosi and Carter-Vickers to that list. I think there is a chance all three could play some first team games next season. Zelalem also played one first team game this season. Maybe even Yomba, Akale or Scott for a game or two depending how they are progressing. Palmer-Brown is another maybe if he does actually transfer to Juventus in the summer. Then who knows about Hyndman and Rubin. They could be looking at transfers soon.

    I'd also say Gyau and Flores are possibilities similar to Yomba, Akale and Scott but it doesn't seem like Dortmund is going to be playing in European competitions next season, although I do think they have a small chance at it.

    In the most optimistic scenarios I applaud you but in reality it will only be but a few that will probably have first team minutes even more so that Gyau has had an additional knee injury (which will most likely keep him oit until next season) the good thing is prospects will emerge be it from mls or abroad but it will be up to Jurgen to give them a chance which I hope he willn only then will we be able to reach our full potential in the next year

    I agree. Maybe one or two of those scenarios I named actually happens. It actually would be nice if Zelalem, Carter-Vickers and Pelosi could become first team players next season. Probably most unlikely for Carter-Vickers, but it would be nice to see.

    Not that anyone seems to care, but Alejo was reported as sick for today (flu?). Not in the 18.

    With the way this season has gone for Yanks Abroad, I hope you knocked on wood before saying cancer.

    Nantes's been on a bit of a cold streak lately - hey, at least, they're not Marseille! - but they're still in a respectable 8th place with 36 points from 27 matches. However, it's very tight in mid-table there with nine (!) clubs within 5 points (i.e., between the 8th and the 16th).

    It is very tight, but at 36 points a win and two draws gets them to 41, which is usually enough to stay up - it's a 20-team league, so you need a couple of more points than the EPL or BL1 to stay up.

    Monaco went down with 44 in 2010-11, but that's very unusual. Nantes have a very solid defence - the second-best outside the top 6 - and their lowest position this season has been 11th. Barring a last-minute collapse, I'd say they're safe enough: there's plenty worse teams.

    Yep, at least four of those EPL clubs cannot be regarded as fielding a real team at all.

    Lens is already relegated on a technicality (the federation made an oopsie promoting them, so no matter where they end up this season, next it's back to Lique 2). Metz is also gone. And looking at their schedules ahead, Lorient is in a world of hurt.

    They, Nantes, must feel pretty safe.

    On the bench today, recovered from his maladie.

    PS: Bammou injured, Bedoya enters at 29' to play wide forward.

    The joy of scoring never gets old. But I've never been happier to score a goal than now. This GOAL is for YOU. I love you, Santino! @littlemantino You're my superhero.
