Interesting article in the Wall Street Journal on Friday. It focused on European soccer clubs, notably West Ham United, and their efforts to discover players in the US to bring to Europe.
We've been aware of such efforts for the past few years and have seen more European clubs partner with both youth and professional clubs with hopes of finding a diamond in the rough. West Ham has also partnered with USL to identify some players league-wide that might have what it takes to compete in England.
"It would be wrong of us to dismiss this country," said Tony Carr, a West Ham scout.
