Yanks Abroad

I'm sure the trolls that live under the bridge of the same name in the south bay area could probably compete in the Scottish second division as well - Dumbarton Bridge FC

 

I guess Rangers' new coach is a big youth guy (already has two Tottenham youth players on loan and he is one of the founders of the NextGen Series (a now defunct youth tournament which spawned the UEFA Youth League)).

But Zelalem did well in his first game today. Getting the assist on one goal and helping setup two others in a 5-0 win.

 

Yedlin loaned from Spurs to Sunderland. He'll get playing time, but probably gets to experience relegation as well.

 

Wow on Yedlin, figured it would be someone in this division. Considering how bad it worked out for the last yank, I'm sure the Sunderland fans are besides themselves on this move.

 

Don't understand your question about the MLS season. It's immediate but Sunderland's next match is v Spurs, so he'll likely have to wait an extra week to play.

 

But I don't want to watch Sunderland games.

 

Sunderland fans barely want to watch Sunderland games.

 

Probably won't kill you but there's a decent chance it'll put you in a coma.

 

Aron Johannsson has two goals for Werder Bremen now.

 

Maybe I'm slow to think of this, but AJ being the no. 9 for Werder Bremen is a huge deal. Bremen is one of the bigger clubs an American has ever played for. I guess since he didn't really develop his game in the US, it's tough for us to take too much credit.

As far as his place with the national team, if JK actually believes his "Our players need to be playing for big teams in Europe" garbage, surely Johannssson should be starting every game for us.
