    He just scored for the Israel U19s as they lead France in the UEFA U19 Championship semifinal.

    According to this article in Hebrew, El Yam was born in Hawaii and does hold US citizenship.

    DW target Zak Swanson has moved to Portsmouth in League One:



    Still no confirmation of his Yank-ness.

    I've never heard back from anyone on the rather long list of folks I've reached out to about this, which is (I'm guessing) a sign that he's not American. Some recent coverage of his latest move has said he was born in England, though none of it citing an interview or anything direct that I've seen. I guess anything's possible but I'm thinking this was some kind of false alarm and that this isn't the Florida Man we thought it might be.

    Here's another possible dual Yank who just popped up:



    Zachary Parpel
    Date of birth: Sep 10, 2005
    Age:16

    TM says he is dual US-Czech: https://www.transfermarkt.us/zachary-parpel/profil/spieler/1034739

    He's listed with the SK Slavia Prague U19 alongside Yank Alex Wesolowsky. @PhillyFury might be able to help us get a confirmation.

    His club profile only lists Czech under nationality: https://www.slavia.cz/player?id=3279

    Yes, Zach is a U.S. national. Moved over to Slavia not too many years ago. Is a back.

    Was looking into this one recently but couldn't pin it down. (I'm guessing we're all chasing the same summer Transfermarkt updates...) However, this short item on 90minut, which I consider authoritative, also says he's American; you inspired me to search that site. I'd say we can roll with it.

    I was looking at Augsburg's U-17 roster (saw the tweet from Marcus Chairez about Franz Bleicher), and ran across a player named Noahkai Banks. Nationality is listed as American on TM. FBREF says born in the U.S. Do we know anything more about this player?

    https://fbref.com/en/players/118e3ac3/Noahkai-Banks

    https://www.transfermarkt.us/noahkai-banks/profil/spieler/923945

    EDIT: Nevermind, saw that Chuck started a thread on him already. I didn't find him because I searched for his name as one word, but Chuck spelled it as Noah Kai.

    On a side note, I noticed Marcus' tweets and found threads for the players already here on BS. Seems he just needs to hang around here.

    Yeah, I replied to one of his tweets awhile back and encouraged him to join up, but he was reluctant to start and maintain a presence on another platform. Too bad too, he would make a great addition to BS. Maybe I should give him another nudge.

    Marcus Chairez asked on Twitter about the eligibility of an '05, Nicolas Rincon. I didn't see mention of him anywhere on BigSoccer, so I thought I would post here. @ussoccer97531 replied and said it looks like he's been in the US since age 15.

    One of the few potential YAs to be an inventor on a patent:

    Alas, patent applicants are no longer required to provide citizenship information.

    Kinda looks like what you'd get if you asked your AI to generate a young dual Yank player and club name.

    I'm pretty sure this is the brother of Roi Moskowitz who is with Charlotte Independence. At the very least they follow each other on Instagram and had very similar career paths. Roi has repped the USA at the Maccabi Games in the past.

    Wow, this is a funky one.

    Isn't this the guy whose T'Markt profile used to say he was born in a place called Arizona? That seemed promising, but there's an Arizona in San Luis, Argentina. I figured it was a Romone Rose situation. And now his profile there says he's born in San Luis, doesn't mention Arizona, and still says he's American. And his agent's web site also says he's American. (His IG seems to allude to the non-American Arizona; of course, that's not the only way he might theoretically be American.)

    I now have it on good authority that Santiago Rodriguez was indeed not born in the U.S., so if the source of his claim to YA-ness was birthplace, I think we can once again scratch him off the list.

    Another Micah W. find. Not to be confused with 28-year old Taiwanese player of the same name.
