Diego Kochen and Pedro Soma used to play on rival teams in Miami when they were kids. Now they both play for Barcelona. They're not the only players on the brink of the first team at the Spanish giants who were born in the United States in 2006, either; there is also the Colorado-born Adrian Gill.
Just six months in age separate the trio, who hope their education at Barça will serve the United States men's national team in the coming years as more young Americans break through in Europe.
