    I was looking at the Wikipedia page of Santa Tecla in El Salvador and this gentleman is listed as a US dual citizen:

    Jacobo Kattan

    Transfermarkt lists him under this name:

    Jacobo Miguel Moreno Kattan
    Born 1/21/97

    TM doesn't list a US connection.

    He apparently moved to Real Aviles in Spain this past season.

    The club's announcement cites American ancestry...

    Mike Garrett, Ian’s dad, is an old teammate of mine from another age in McLean, VA. Glad to see his son following his dream. Nice detective work.

    FWIW, Mike bounced around in the MISL and the indoor minor leagues before settling down in Michigan and getting into the business side of soccer.

    Might be a Yank named Rustam Logan in the Leganés youth system according to this agency/organization (possibly a pay-to-play kind of thing?) that also represents Rayshaun McGann:



    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any further info about him.

    you remember when Morales played there in 1BL, lol.

    they sucked in 2BL last season, basically 2 relegation in a span of 3 seasons.

    2016-2017, relegated from 1BL
    2017-2018, 9th place in 2BL
    2018-2019, Relegation playoff where they were defeated by Wehen

    that relegation to 3rd Liga relegated by default Ingolstadt II to 5th division even though they were doing well in RL Bayern, they were #6 last season.

    but they are playing a lot more younger players this season than previous ones. Could be a chance for Weiss, and Hawkins, Butler if those 2 are ever deemed good enough for 1st team.

    He recently scored what was apparently a nice goal, for Puerto Montt.

    Usually, when a club names an American player, it's pretty easy to find some info online about him -- college bio, youth club articles, high school write-ups... something.

    But this player, assuming the club is using his real name, comes up nothing:

    https://www.donegaldaily.com/2019/08/02/finn-harps-hopes-of-signing-american-striker-hit-a-snag/

    The striker, listed on Finn Harps team-sheet as Immanuel Doyle, scored an equaliser...

    They confirm he is American and that fact limits their ability to sign him. It appears his father may have an EU passport, but not the player.

    I love a good YA mystery! You should start a thread for it.

    His goal against Linfield comes at around 4:20 here, a nice reaction volley off a long throw.



    Unfortunately there's no announcing (I usually don't say that) so his name isn't confirmed. Wearing number 19 and not immediately obvious to me who he might be.

    I believe that's Josh Smith also going 90 for Harps in this one.

    It's interesting the publication said his name was "listed as," perhaps hinting the club doesn't give the proper names of its trialists.

    I'll put up a thread soon.

    Yeah, that doesn't seem unlikely to me. I'm old fashioned -- always like stories about "Trialist 4."

    Here's an enthusiastic write-up of his basketball skills for what I guess is his Irish high school:

    Time to call in the cavalry in the person of Marlon Marishta, who is (and looks like) your standard world-class athlete. The usually mild-mannered Marlon was inspired by the noise from cheerleader Richard Hogan and the raucous crowd to make his mark and boy did he- repeatedly dribbling the length of the court and either swooping to the hoop or gracefully arcing an outside shot. ​

    Start the thread!

    How'd you come across this guy? I haven't found a way (though I haven't tried in a while) to Google search the DFB site by country flags...

    For what it's worth, also no U.S. flag on FuPa. But if DFB site says it, good enough for me...

    https://www.fupa.net/spieler/malick-sanogo-1527425.html

    Scored a couple for their U17s just the other day.

    A post by @ASU55RR on a separate thread revealed (to me, at least) another useful Google search that might be worth checking a few times each season for players in the Czech Republic:
