This weekend was a memorable one for Americans Abroad as two recent MLS transfers made their
European club debuts, while a few other Americans found the net.
Maurice Edu (pictured) made his debut for Glasgow Rangers on Saturday in a 2-1 win over
Kilmarnock while U.S. Olympic teammate Jozy Altidore impressed in his La Liga debut for
Villarreal.
Fresh home from international duty this week, Maurice Edu was not expected to play for Rangers this
week against Kilmarnock. A late failed fitness test by Kevin Thopmson pressed Edu into duty as a
starter in his debut for his new club before 50,000 home fans. Fellow American DaMarcus Beasley,
also fresh back from Chicago, was also on the field as the Ibrox club found themselves down 1-0 in
the early going.
It remained a busy weekend for American players in Europe today as Carlos Bocanegra put in a good
90s minutes for Stade Rennais as they drew Nancy 0-0. Rennes is off to a slow start, currently
sitting in 12th place with seven points.
Down in Spain, Jozy Altidore dressed but did not play for Villarreal in their 2-1 win over
Numancia.
The week before the transfer window closes is always a busy one. This year it slammed shut on the
evening of September 1. Clubs had to buy players before then or they are doomed to wait until
January before they can add to their rosters. It can be frantic.
That wasn't the case for South Korean players until last week – it had been quiet, too quiet.
Borussia Dortmund's Bosnian-American Neven Subotic was named to La Gazzetta Dello Sport's
European Best 11 today after another strong performance this weekend. For the second time in three
weeks, he combined stout defending with offensive contributions, scoring the game winnner for the
second in the young season, this time against Energie Cottbus.
It took a while, but Freddy Adu finally made his first start for AS Monaco. The U.S. Olympic
midfielder made the starting XI in Monaco's French Cup match against Paris St. Germain. It could be
Adu's last start for a while after a goal from one-time Chicago Fire target Fabrice Pancrate gave
PSG the win, thus ending Adu's potential source for major playing time.
Schalke, currently sitting at the top of the Bundesliga, have surged ahead to the peak of another,
less prestigious table - the goalkeeper injury table. First choice keeper Manuel Neuer has yet to
make an appearance this season, having broken his fifth metatarsal during a pre-season friendly
against SpVgg Erkenschwick (currently playing in the [.

1. Assholes Anonymous Hi my name is Rafinha and I am an asshole. For a team that has some very
likeable and fair-minded players in Neuer, Kuranyi and Westermann, there seems to be a need to
offset it with a player like Rafinha. The sooner the fat Rafa from Liverpool buys little Rafa and
takes his [.
1. Hamburg SV HSV have just opened up a cemetary next to the Nordbank Arena. With Martin Jol
leading the way, Hamburg top the table for the first time in nine years. Meanwhile, the big man's
old club are in last place in the EPL. Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur are putting in [...]

to celebrate these masters of [.

Für ein Derby in der Bundesliga - besonders das zwischen BVB und S04 - benötigt man
für gewöhnlich einen gestandenen Schiedsrichter, welcher mit hitzigen Spielen umgehen
kann. Genau solch einen gab es beim Samstags-Spiel Dortmund gegen Schalke nicht. So wurde vom DFB
der Unparteiische Lutz Wagner angesetzt.
