AMSTERDAM – With so many Americans heading back to MLS in the past year, one might think the exports cupboard in Europe is getting bare. That could not be further from the truth, however, with dozens of Americans still plying their trade in the Old World.
We made up a list with most of the Americans working in European clubs, from the top flight to the youth ranks. In the interest of (relative) brevity, smaller leagues such as those in Armenia and Finland were left out. The same goes for any players that would require a FIFA switch to suit up for the Nats, such as Fabian Hürzeler, Shawn Parker, Kenny Saief and Gedion Zelalem.
All players listed with an asterisk either have a US national team cap at some age level to their credit or were recently called into a camp.
Did we miss someone? Let us know in the comments section below.
