If it was possible to "win" Halloween, this kid ran away with it and grabbed a hat-trick & a clean
sheet along the way. Simply outstanding.
Spotted via TDK.
Who the hell is Royal-Dominique Fennell? I have no idea and you probably don't either unless you
are Brian Sciaretta, Philneezy or German. Apparently though he plays for Stuttgart Kickers, his dad
is (surprise!) a U.S. serviceman and he's been called up to Caleb Porter's U-23's. That's pretty
much all you need to do to be named Afro-Germerican™ of the Moment so congrats Royal-Dominique.
A profile on Sacha Vander MostvanSpijk, former head of Youth Development at Chivas USA. He is now
involved in the deeply-flawed, money-spinning enterprise that is US Club Soccer. Seems like a cool
guy though. Nice video as well, much more easily digested than the spelling of his last name.
Bam! There's another Afro-Germerican™ out there, which now leaves me one man shy of having enough
players for a Starting XI (thanks for the tips). His name is Jann George, he's 19 and he scored the
other day for Nurnberg's U-23's; I know this because Brian Sciaretta, czar of Americans Outsourced
to Europe™ reporting, says so.
An excerpt from Steven Goff's super-fine piece on D.C. 14 year-old Gedion Zelalem, who recently
spent 10 days training with Arsenal's prospects.
"Zelalem is not the first high school soccer player from the area to seek a pro career. Most
famously, Freddy Adu, a native of Ghana and a naturalized U.
Hey y'all I think we may have a new heir to the MLS hip-hop throne. Hell, he may even be the new
king really because it's not like anyone has fully claimed it for themselves. Steve Zakuani and
Michael Lahoud & his boys at Chivas USA are trying to lay it down but neither have thrown down any
that's unimpeachable.
If this little nipper's skills look familiar you're not tripping. It's because he's Juan Pablo
Angel's son Tomy. Anyone have an opening in their academy for the junior cherub? What say you LA or
NY? Can you take him in as a "legacy" player or is it only frats that do that?
When I was in elementry school we had the theatre students from the local community college
(Grayson County Community College, stand up!) come by and do a rendition of "Peter Pan." It sucked.
But the privileged youth of today? They get a cotdamn back-flipping, boogalooing, soccer-obsessed
lion to come to their auditorium and indoctrinate them into the church of MLS.
