    Zitat

    American Salvatore Zizzo Crosses The Pond...
    I don't know what it is about UCLA players and Germany, but another UCLA soccer player has signed a professional contract in Germany...this time with Hannover 96. Sal Zizzo was headed into his junior season at UCLA but will put off finishing school to go after the European soccer dream.
    (...)
    Sal is an exciting midfielder/forward who can cause chaos on the right wing. During the recent U-20 World Cup he featured heavily in the US' run to the quarterfinals, but he never was in top form since he was in his off-season. I'm not saying he had a sub-par performance, I'm just saying the professional players on the US team showed better. I'm excited to see what this kid can acomplish as a professional player.
    With Sal going to Europe his development should accelerate. He's getting into the professional game at a great age and the German system, known for its discipline and rigor, should help him grow as a player. Look for Zizzo to continue featuring in the US youth setup. He should have a great shot at the 2008 Olympics with the U-23 team.

    Boah, ihr seid so ekelig.


    Translation: The members of this forum have not yet grasped the intercontinental importance of representing Hannover 96 with dignity. I sincerly apologize. Please be forgiving with us primitive germans.

    Further explanation: Unfortunately ExileRed has no girl and that´s why he has enough time to be the social conscience in this forum. Please apologize the lack of humour and sexism in his postings. Thanx!
