Franz Xaver Bleicher at Augsburg

lol, 2007, almost a decade from the pros assuming he doesn't give up. Not every kid sticks with it.

 

Now listed with the U13s. I guess he stuck with it for at least another year.

He apparently still plays soccer. Now listed with Augsburg's U14s.

Still playing soccer. Now with Augsburg's U17s. Apparently got a German U15 callup earlier this year.

U-17 site no longer lists as American Dual-Nat, only German now

Also has 7 Germany U16 (2 U15) call-ups, only friendlies

But on some good news, he got his U19 Bundesliga Debut on 4/15 against Heidenheim U19, starting and playing for 62' in a 4-0 win.
Started alongside fellow American Noahkai Banks.

As a note, the DFB site gives him Germany/USA nationality:

He was called up to the German U17s alongside Culbreath and Meiser. Started in their 3-2 win against Israel on 9/7:

So... still playing soccer? (Sorry, have to make these posts once a year.)

 

Scored a brace yesterday against Kaiserslautern U17s, first goals all season

 

Named captain of the U17:

I'm happy to report that he is still playing soccer. Now with Augsburg's U19s.
