Yanks Abroad of the 90's

Keller moved back because he was very frustrated with Rayo. He was getting shelled and even suffered a concussion or two in La Liga. At that time, Spurs was a midtable team; solid EPL, but always finishing between 9-14 in his time there. He started as a backup to Neil Sullivan but eventually won the starting nod.

Came across a look back at Juergen Sommer:

What you may not realise is that Bolton Wanderers, home to American luminaries such as Tim Ream and Stuart Holden, had our very own American goalkeeper once upon a time.

It was only for a very very very very short time, but we had one all the same.

Juergen Petersen Sommer, to give him his full name, was born in New York State in 1969.

Proud owner of a somewhat nomadic career, Sommer made his name at Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana where he was something called an "All-American". I don't know what this means.​

Yes. Jeff Cassar.

 

Perhaps amazingly, neither got in a league match for them.

 

Tom Dooley was in Kaiserslautern for the 25th anniversary celebration of their 1991 Bundesliga title.

 

And that is why hosts need to be really clear about the dress code in party invitations.

 

Needs more:

 

Also, epic Euromerican t-shirt on the right.

Design instructions:

1) Select a handful of American-sounding words pretty much at random.
2) Pick a four-digit number starting with 17, 18, or 19.
3) Put them on a shirt.
4) If possible, add an "Est." somewhere.

...

5) Profit!

(Though it occurs to me as I write this that maybe those shirts are their way of trolling us, which would be brilliant.)

 

Well, it's a Hilfiger shirt, which is an American company and all:

(but yeah, it's not supposed to mean anything - it's all about the look. Back when I was a kid in the 80s/early 90s, I had a Boston Red Sox shirts, bought at a grocery store in Salzgitter, Germany. It was actually an officialy licensed one, at least according to the label. 99,9% of all Germans have never ever seen a baseball game, including myself. But we have seen people talk about it on TV, on Cheers and stuff . But if the logo/writing is real or it's just some gibberish kinda looking like a College or pro sports inspired shirt ultimately doesn't matter).

 

I haven't seen the "Hilfiger State Final Colorado" shirt for sale here in the States, but maybe I just don't spend enough time in malls.

 

I don't doubt they are produced for the international market (also see my edit above). It's still Americans producing them, so you can't blame us for trolling .
