and other interesting tidbits including a Hungarian passport for Howard. . . http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/16/sports/soccer/17SOCC.html
What will make it simpler for Howard to play in Europe is the Hungarian passport he will soon carry. (His mother is from Hungary.) It would make him eligible to play in any European Union country without first obtaining a work permit; Hungary is scheduled to become an E.U. member in 2004. Does this mean that T-Ho couldn't play in Europe (without a work permit) until Hungary becomes a E.U. member?
Gee, the predictors of Tim Howard's imminent transfer to Europe seem to have been wrong. Come out come out where ever you are.
You only need a work permit to play in the UK. So if he went to the Bundesliga only the normal foreigner limits would apply.
