[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the reason it isn't big news is that it hasn't really been announced. All the talk I can find is backed by one tweet from Keith Costigan; and it didn't help that he first said it was Bayern Munich (oops!) and only corrected it ten hours later. So it's a rumor, mainly from one (initially confused) dude. Now, he has been on trials in Europe since obtaining a passport, from what I understand. And Kristian is an awesome player; so it is entirely possible this will happen (has happened?). But it is not an indictment of anyone here that there isn't more fanfare over something so thinly sourced. One would think either Dortmund or Kristian would announce it if it were true.

Finally, I would say that it is borderline-unfair for a player like Kristian to play for Landon. Knowing him and the level of competition in that high school league, you almost have to ask "how did he ONLY score 29 goals?!" I'm still not sure why he was playing there -- maybe for the scholarship? But I guess a semester of toying with poor high school teams didn't hurt him too much if he's in the mix for big clubs in Europe. Best of luck to him![/quote]

Private schools allow more flexibility for top athletes--fit their training in.  Then, there is the top education as well.  He's not the first soccer player from a private HS in the DMV to go play in Europe--but in a better league than the ones I know off the top of my head.[/quote]

He played for bsc also.[/quote]
