Yanks Abroad Flavors of the Week: 2022-2023 Thread

I'm guessing it's the first time two Americans would be on such a list...

impressive

-Balogun scored 47% of his club's Ligue 1 goals
-Pepi scored 46% of his club's Eredivisie goals after arriving late
-All but one other on this list were in the 13-23% range playing for clubs that score easily (Wahi at 29%)

Bello got the start today as Arminia Bielefeld needing goals in the 2nd leg of their relegation playoff against the 3rd place 3BL Wehen Wiesbaden, after losing the 1st leg 0-4. Arminia lost the 2nd leg 1-2 (1-6 in aggregate) and so are now demoted to 3BL. Bello played as a CM in a 3-1-4-2.

Just goes to show that the differences at the margins are very small between teams and leagues. Bello must be in shock, hopefully he comes back to MLS?

Pepi looking spry!

 

With the performance of Pepi and Booth, Eredivisie will look on current US U-20 squad for talents. First reported is Ederman.

 

Would not have expected our Fulham guys to be 1 and 2...

Why not? Did you watch many Fulham matches this season?? These numbers simply reflect the way Fulham played. Twelve Fulham players played at least half of the available minutes in the PL this season. Of those twelve the top five in touches per 90 were all defenders...Diop 72.8 touches per 90 min, Tete 70.7/90, Ream 69.3/90, Robinson 69/90, Tosin 67.5/90 (Joao Palhinha (MF) was a fairly distant sixth with 53.2/90).
