    Yeah, the katakana transliteration chosen by (presumably) his family is ヴァンイヤーデン, which can be romanized as Van Iyāden...derived from the Anglicized version of the surname, rather than the Dutch origins.

    His IG page seems to have moved to @vaneerden.shawn

    An interview from a year ago:

    T'Markt says he recently moved from a club in Georgia to a club in Greece. Still trying to confirm most of this.

    Have we ever figured out if Tyler Meiser passes the smell-test for a YAA thread? We keep seeing social media posts connecting him to the US, but nothing official beyond a TM profile.

    I'm far from an authority here, and I certainly might have missed something as I often do, but I personally have never been able to pin it down or seen something I'd consider 100% confirmation. There are breadcrumbs all over the place, of course.

    FM has Adrian Csenterics listed as a tri-national: Hungary, Lebanon, and United States. He's an 18 year old goalie with a few appearances this season for the first team of MTK Budapest in the second tier of the Hungarian League. He also recorded a clean sheet in his only Kupa Magyar appearance and 3 out of 5 of his UEFA youth league appearances. I wasn't able to quickly identify his connection with the US but I figured I'd add him here in case someone else has more time to do detective work.

    This Twitter aggregator of all things YA posted this list of YAs on Athlone Town's squad for the 2023 season:



    Easy to confirm the others, but Haji Abdikadir doesn't have enough info to readily ID him as a US citizen. TM says he is and he was called in once for the US U14s, but it would be nice to have something a bit more solid before creating a thread.

    There's no squad posted on the Athlone website and no signing announcement that I could find. He was born in Kenya and been with the Somalian NT, but has been in the US since about age 7. He probably is American, but can't confirm.

    What, exactly, is behind this?

    Another interesting one from Ireland. I looked at the Wikipedia page of Galway United and saw this player listed:

    MF USA Darra Hislop

    He does have an academy profile on the club's page, but only shows that he came from another Irish academy:

    https://galwayunitedfc.ie/player/darra-hislop/

    He's not listed in TM.

    Have we already posted about Martin Krug? He's listed as a Panamanian '06 at Levante in the CONCACAF U17 rosters, and was provisionally cap-tied to that country during the group stage. His brother Frederick apparently is also at the club.

    https://www.concacaf.com/en/men-s-under-17/game-details?matchid=642391

    T'Markt says he was born in Chicago. I haven't been able to confirm that, though he certainly seems to be recently from there.

    Transfermarkt and other sites say an '06 named Max Hathaway is American.

    He's listed on the club's U17 roster page but without details. Other links on the club site confirm his presence there. I guess he'd be a teammate of Yuval Ranon.

    https://www.werder.de/teams/junioren/teams/u17/mannschaft/

    It's not totally clear to me that he's American; several sites list him as German-born, and the DFB doesn't mention it (which is not in itself conclusive).

    https://datencenter.dfb.de/en/profile/402355

    However, an '06 of this name was with a DA club a few years back, so it's certainly possible.

    Based on Edgar's reporting, I went ahead and set up a thread for him.

    Well, I got around to reading that book, which was pretty fun -- moreso if you're a West Ham fan -- but I'm even more certain now that Ade isn't Kenny's dad...

    T'Markt says an '03 at a club in Cyprus named Alexandros Solomis is American.

    https://www.transfermarkt.de/alexandros-solomis/profil/spieler/1068858

    Likely this guy who in a scouting/college recruiting video is described as American.



    The video seems to have worked. He's expected at U. of San Fran next season.

    Appears to have joined Zeljeznicar in what I think is Serbia's second division.
