    Position: Midfielder



    Here's the article on his original signing at KF Laçi in the top Albanian tier:

    This recent article calls him "American" so I'll go with that:

    According to TM, he has made one one-minute substitute appearance in the league.

    He became an All-City soccer player and team captain at Fremont High, played for the Chivas USA soccer academy, then Harbor College and briefly attended Cal State Fullerton. Then he signed to play in Poland with Odra Wodzislaw.

    I am not a subscriber either? Maybe you've used your five free ones this month?

    "Bryan Joel Rodriguez grew up in South Los Angeles, the son of two parents who came from Mexico."

    I won't quote the rest, but just a normal kid from L.A., high school, some soccer at Cal State. Very American.

    I wondered about that, but I don't think I've been there that many times in 4 days. Go figure.

    Yes, I saw that too, but it's vaguely enough worded that I couldn't be 100% sure. I have to leave my self an out if it turns out I've guessed wrong. At least one article said he was born in Mexico which would complicate things, depending on how his folks got to the US. Lots of people end up being very "American," but lacking in a US passport.

    Don't think there have been many callups from the Albanian second division.;)

    YA has a very firm "no passport; no thread" policy. I wouldn't want to be sanctioned for polluting its purity. ;)
