Yanks Abroad

I thought I heard that Jovan Kirovski was the first with Dortmund in the late 90s.

 

@LaxAttack, bravo on Jovan Kirovski! Could of sat here forever and never had gotten that one. @nevzter, after Lax came up with that gem, I couldn't help myself and googled it. Nope on O'Brien and my guess of Reyna, but yes on Jovan and Kljestan and the above four you listed.

 

Is there any doubt Bobby Wood belongs in the US starting XI? Sorry Fabian, but Bobby's match winner over Mongengladbach was huge in the relegation battle Hamburg is fighting. Knocked down, good touch, and patience before smashing it.

Almost as entertaining as his assist are the Scottish announcers describing Emerson Hyndman's feet (sorry subtitles not included ), pretty sure they described them as 'velcro-esque'.

"...absolutely, velcro-esque..."

Classic.

 

There have been rumblings lately in the media about the lack of quality goalkeeping in MLS and the future of the USMNT's GK prospects in general. Perhaps that has changed w/21 year old Ethan Horvath, who made is mark in Norway and now has moved up to Club Brugge in Belgium

As a Washingtonian, I can only say how lucky we are to have Steven Goff as our "local" Soccer reporter. He's without a doubt one of the best in the business.

 

While I would like to see him in the Gold Cup if not playing means the foot heals without surgery then so be it.

 

John Brooks smashes the transfer record for an American. Wolfsburg shelled out 20 mill. to Herta Berlin.

 

@AggieMatt, that 'certain Dortmund' player I inadvertently didn't put on the Gold Cup post had an okay day v AC Milan: 2 assists and drew a penalty for another goal in their 3-1 win. He's the first name to be listed on our A Team

 

Miazga to Vitesse on loan again

Bad News; John Brooks tore a tendon in his thigh and sidelined for at least 3 months. Who will Bruce Arena team up with Geoff Cameron in the make or break WC qualifiers?

 

Gonzalez? Ream?

 

Glad to see Bobby Wood playing and scoring for Hamburg, the Nats are going to need him for the upcoming Costa Rica/Honduras matches
