March 5, 2021 by Peter Vice Leave a Comment

It's a lengthy one this week as we take the midweek slate of domestic cup fixtures into account. The repost of yesterday's hot sheet also contains plenty of good news for those rooting US internationals in the German top flight. The DFB-Pokal quarterfinals leads us to another multi-match column. Although four Americans were eligible for double duty this week, only Tyler Adams ended up playing maximum matches. Edin Terzic opted not to use Giovanni Reyna in the Pokal. Josh Sargent saw his Tuesday fixture cancelled on account of COVID. John Anthony Brooks had to serve a suspension this weekend. There remains a great deal to catch up on. Chris Richards' ascendancy at Hoffenheim pushes the … [Read more...] about Americans in the Bundesliga: Reyna on the comeback trail, Sargent and Adams impress

Americans in the Bundesliga: Brooks takes a deserved bow, Adams picks up assist

A repost of this week's scouting column lies below. Not a great deal of storylines are shifting at the moment, but there's still tons of nuance to discuss. A busy week for Americans playing in Germany's top footballing flight leaves us with six graded sections for the five starters and one trainer. Young phenom Giovanni Reyna found himself excluded from Edin Terzic's starting XI this week, playing only ten non-graded minutes at the tail end of the BVB's victory over Schalke. We still await the first bench squad appearance for Borussia Mönchengladbach's Joe Scally even if, by all accounts, the 18-year-old remains fully fit. John Anthony Brooks, VfL Wolfsburg Minutes played … [Read more...] about Americans in the Bundesliga: Brooks takes a deserved bow, Adams picks up assist

Another fantastic weekend of German Bundesliga football is on tap! One genuinely hopes that the US internationals earning their living in Germany's top flight have a better round than the last. For those who missed out on the initial release, we'll repost here. This week's analysis of US internationals earning their pay checks in the Bundesrepublik features only four players. Leipzig trainer Julian Nagelsmann rotated out midfielder Tyler Adams in anticipation of the upcoming UCL duel against Liverpool. The  played 27 minutes of half-speed relief again Augsburg on Friday.

A jam-packed Pokal week and the January transfer deadline leave us with plenty to catch up on. The hot sheet came on the heels of an especially long Wednesday. Welcome to the re-post. Round Three of Germany's domestic cup means we've another column covering multiple matches. Giovanni Reyna's return to the BVB staring XI also translates to a full slate of Americans to discuss. All six regular actors receive a graded section this time.

A group of eight regulars still seems a way off as Gladbach's Joe Scally still hasn't been … [Read more...] about Americans in the Bundesliga: John Anthony Brooks enters career-high form

Americans in the Bundesliga: “Goal-scorers Sargent and Adams face different prospects”

January 29, 2021 by Peter Vice Leave a Comment

Quite the eventful week for those keeping close ties on US internationals in Germany's top-flight. Miss out on the latest round of in-depth coverage?  No worries. It's all too easy to catch up here. Two Americans tallied in the 2020/21 German Bundesliga's first matchday of the "Rück-runde". While the wholly remarkable scoring streak of Schalke's Matthew Hoppe finally came to a predictable end, Bremen's Josh Sargent and Leipzig's Tyler Adams both found the back of the net for their respective clubs. The immediate prospects for the two players nevertheless could hardly be more different. Sargent faces Hoppe's Schalke this weekend with some important momentum on his side. Adams may not … [Read more...] about Americans in the Bundesliga: “Goal-scorers Sargent and Adams face different prospects”

January 23, 2021 by Peter Vice Leave a Comment

The football comes fast and furious the Bundesrepublik quickly and seamlessly transitions from the "Hin-runde" to the "Rück-runde". All the initial posts keep up with the hectic schedule. Those a bit behind the curve can reliably find the re-post here. A double matchday column coincidentally features a smaller set of American actors to cover. Giovanni Reyna, struggling with a non-corona related infection, missed out on the Saturday fixture. The 18-year-old played 17 mostly forgettable minutes on Tuesday. Tyler Adams started neither fixture, making only 13 minutes in relief appearance on Wednesday. Timothy Chandler played ten minutes at tail-end of Wednesday's draw. We still wait for … [Read more...] about Americans in the Bundesliga: Hoppe steals the show, Sargent exhibits improvement
