The Borussia Dortmund star is ready to kick off another season in the Bundesliga, but he is joined by a growing crop of Americans playing outside MLS
American soccer fans are finally starting to come through the dark haze of disappointment after the U.S. national team's failed World Cup qualifying campaign, and as the next cycle looms on the horizon, attention will start to ramp up on those players who will make up major parts of the USMNT program's reconstruction.
At the forefront will be the contingent of American players plying their trades in Europe.
