The trend of American players spending their formative years in Germany goes back decades, to the likes of Eric Wynalda, Claudio Reyna and Landon Donovan, just to name a few. The German path is now more common, but why are there so many young Americans in the Bundesliga?

very accurate! i wanna hire tifo whenever i decide to get a tattoo
also, as i can see from looking back at my school, there r alot of military families, and many go to germany. hell, there's an immersion programme
I have many friends stationed in Germany, or live there because their parents are in the military
Yea this - there's a long standing relationship between the 2 nations due to the large military presence.
Funny you mentioned that now cuz 11,900 US troops are being recalled from Germany now, but hopefully it doesn’t impact the growth of USMNT
The military presence is gonna end soon.
McKennie actually started playing football at Phoenix Otterbach in Germany because his family was stationed at the nearby Ramstein airbase, so it easy to see why a player wanted to return to a country where he an dhis family lived before.
Would love to see one about the transfer that brought Alphonso Davies from the Whitecaps to FC Bayern München. That would be a good video to watch
He had a trial at Man UTD 😟
Fair he is the best of north American players right now
Can’t forget about Puli of course and Raul Jimenez

The red bull clubs are a good example of how to develop a talent. They’ve so many clubs playing at different levels that you can go from college in America to pro and then make your way to champions league all within the same system.
The Man City group have tried to replicate it but seemingly don’t have a club that can bridge the gap for someone that’s too good for MLS but not good enough for city yet, once they work it out I think they’ll probably be the leaders for development in England.
City owns a Spanish league team. Girona. They’ve done it as well. It obviously is a good system but only works for massively wealthy clubs.
Rydog they’re second division so not really able to bridge the gap. Ideally need a team playing europa league or competitively in the top flight.
Real surprise no one try’s to use the Glasgow clubs to blood youth, consistently in Europe and would love to have a few good prospects for free every year... especially rangers
@@danielbowers8124 Scotland has same immigration laws as UK, which means you need to be an established player to join unless you are from EU. Germany are a haven for non-eu foreigners cause of their immigration policies.
Arif Adnan could still be used as a feeder club for English teams or other European teams.
That's actually against the, how to put it, "spirit of the law" in European football. You can't allow 1st division teams to be academies for others, since that compromises the team competitiveness and to a certain extent it's future, not to mention it's unfair for other teams who can't do the same thing. But well, they are not the first to do it, so whatever.
Ok I’m very casual football fan but I almost always tune in when your videos uploaded and enjoy them there informative keep them coming
As long as American prospects aren’t wasting away in the MLS I’m happy.
Mls recently has been providing some good young talent
Mls could be a great seller's league
Americans want to get their football players recognized in football world so best way is to send their young players to play and get experienced in top tier leagues like bundesliga.
i haven’t watched the video yet but i’m guessing he talks about why specifically the bundasliga.
@James Hunt thats a general statement, you should look up American tv views for the big leagues like epl and bundesliga
But still not enough to make their NT competitive
James Hunt well this american does and plays it too. Best that you get over it
Jag Maharesi that’s more of a domestic league issue along with the development academy we actually recently got rid of. If you dont have the money to afford top youth teams or division 1 college, you have little chance of making it.
Great video, keep an eye on Kobe Hernandez-Foster who just signed for Wolfsburg (previously was at the LA Galaxy academy). Terrific left back- great going forward, technically very strong and also good defending 1v1. If he can breakthrough the US will be looking great with him and Dest at outside back.
Also important for fans to remember the advantages players that have EU passports (Pulisic, Reyna) have going to Germany at 16 compared to those like Kobe and Kayo who had to wait until 18 to go when judging future potential.
Who remembers the umaxit football days. Absolutely unreal the content you guys have put out over the last 3 years or so
@James Hunt thats a Leeds united logo dude
@James Hunt STFU
Congrats bro
@James Hunt says a dude with a american name.
Congrats on promotion mate
USA could have a decent squad in ‘22 and ‘26 especially, when the WC is in the Americas. Still lacking a proper number 9 though, but the supporting cast is certainly there.
I agree, as an American, we have a golden generation in the making, we hope to win at home in 2026, but 2022 is the test, hopefully Berhalter leaves and we get Jesse Marsch as our coach or a different international coach that is experienced and has coached very well to teams in Europe and in the UCL.
@@Ace-uc5cj no way Marsch is going to USMNT but Berhalter out for sure
Need a manager focused on developing young talent from European leagues instead of starting MLS veterans that lose to Trinidad & Tobago. After the failure in 2018, the USMNT should have directly invested into this (as seen with our lineup against France before the 2018 WC that ended in a 1-1 draw with goals from Green & Mbappe. USMNT fielded 7 players from Europe & Steffen + Adams who would later make moves to Europe) to allow 2 full 4-year WC cycles culminating in a strong, experienced side to play in the 2026 WC on home ground. Each year that we wait to implement this will result in a weaker side for 2026.
@@Ace-uc5cj wtf? I cant see america winning the wc in the next 2 decades
The US team will always be bad because there always picking there shitty MLS players instead of our European talent
I was playing as schalke on football manager and I was thinking the exact same thing! Keep up the good work.
You guys just read my mind and when I wonder why..you come up with these. Excellent job.
Can you make a video on the SaveTheCrew movement and how the entire MLS pitched in to prevent the Columbus Crew from moving to Austin? A great story on how football and passion won against greed.
Can you stop copying and paste?
Let me tell you something:
That club will run into financial problem PRETTY SOON.
Columbus does NOT have a good market unlike Austin, Texas however has a better market that small clubs wish they have that money to IMPROVE THEIR CLUB.
The biggest example is Seattle SuperSonics. The NBA team was into financial problem. The only way to save a club is to sell it and it became the Oklahoma City thunder.
Guess what? The OKC are currently rebuilding as their roster is very young and have plenty of draft picks. They will be a contenting team in a few years. What were you saying about “Passion and Football win against greed”?
You just can’t accept the fact that greed is what’s SAVING the club from financial problem and you know I’m 100% right.
And sooner or later, that club will be folded. Say goodbye to that club. It goes to show that “Passion” isn’t gonna last.
No one is going to fund that club.
They made a big mistake. Austin’s MARKET is LARGER than staying at Columbus and you will see soon.
Just watch the “passion” will go away.
@@robert2690 this is why the MLS is a joke, it doesn't care care about the fanbase, more about just increasing it's revenue. Why should a team move to some other place just for more money?
@@sahiltheroyale5693 It's not just the MLS, the other American/Canadian leagues kinda run in a way in which clubs are businesses. Clubs can move at any time, and sadly there's nothing anyone can do about it. However, when compared to MLB, NFL, NBA AND NHL, the MLS don't nearly as often relocate. Only once has a relocation happened in the MLS, which was when the San Jose Earthquakes moved to Houston, but two years later, San Jose managed to get their club back through an expansion. The SaveTheCrew movement kinda reflects on how football fans aren't pushovers when it comes to their club. The club is a part of their life, which is one thing Eurosnobs like to overlook when criticising the MLS. So, the MLS is nowhere near perfect, but it's trying to improve year after year, with a lot of success.
Sahil The Royale its a business
Liga MX in Mexico also has the same problem. Monarcas Morelia, a club that had existed since 1950, just moved to Mazatlan. It's not just an American problem.
Nice that you mentioned Steven Cherundolo
FC Dallas fan here. Would like to point out that there is an "agreement" between FC Dallas and Bayern Munich. Some of our top academy prospects have been able to have training camps in Germany. It's a unique relationship that on paper looks pretty one-sided because of Richards. I think there is a nice sell-on free for Richards (40% ?) if BM were to sell him.
Just love the way Tifo Football justifies the saying 'Everything Happens For Reason' in football, so beautifully in all their videos.
This is the question I asked many times before but never had been keen enough to look for the answer myself... thank you tifo!

Oh no...
Didn't even catch that lol Gute Augen :)
Wales was annexed with England too!
See that’s where you are wrong it’s actually Germany that was annexed by Luxembourg so Germany is a part of Luxembourg now
I also didn’t know Spain is half the size of the US or that it was as far south as Mexico 😂
I was just asking this the other day and I see this!love it
Awesome vid mate 👏
Always wondered this! Great content as always
Was thinking about this recently, perfect timing
The only downside is that football/soccer in america is super expensive to take part.
not true, most pro academies are free and most top level clubs (non mls academy, ecnl, national league) offer scholarships to players that can’t afford it.
Exactly, pay to play is a massive issue here.
Only a state's biggest cities have a quality team too
Soccer is for the privilege
Ryan Nejadian this is completely false. most clubs that aren’t even academies charge an average of $2,000 per season not counting tourneys. prestigious academies like sockers and surf can charge up to $15,000 per season which is ridiculous. and it doesn’t stop there. also, when zlatan ibrahimović is saying its too expensive for his kids to play in america, it’s bad.
Becks Dennis not sure where you’re from but in my area the MLS teams academy is free, and the mls league, ecnl, and national league teams all offer scholarships (up to full ride). I’m not sure how that’s false as I have many friends that are on scholarships at top clubs. And the average price in my area without scholarships (and not on an mls academy) is around 2-3 thousand dollars not 15k.
Good one thx
Hey can you guys make tifo history videos more?
I love that series.
Tifo spoiling us with these great content
Great video as always - to commemorate Liverpool's first league title would you consider doing a video analyzing Benetiz's Liverpool team of 2008/09, going into detail as to why that team w such a strong spine was not able to win the title?
Very interesting video.
As a USMNT fan, I hope we continue to have more and more players starting their careers in the Bundesliga as I would love to see the team competing past the rounds of 16s in the World Cup.
great video! by the way, could you do a tactical overview of Neil Harris' Cardiff City?
Big up tifo !!
Amazing content
For the penultimate weekend, you forgot Chris Richards who subbed in for Bayern against Freiburg.
1:33
You really did Luxembourg like that....
I love this channel so much
Konrad De La Fuente at Barcelona B is one of the most promising young wingers right now. His style is like a mix of Alphonso Davies and Adama Traore. Plus the La Masia schooling has worked well for the tactical training as Tifo mentions. Could be an upcoming breakout star.
I love watching your videos as it allows me to understand more of the ever changing game. It’s one of the main reason I want to become a manger as it seems very interesting and extremely rewarding.
Love it!
One of the Reasons why I watch the Bundesliga. So much American Talent to watch.
@tifo football interesting vid idea does having a crowd less stadium still have a home ground advantage
RE tactics, a SUNY coach welcomed my input (as an exiled Brit) the player roster loved it. I worked on individual performances , and linked that to the deference, midfield, and attack transitions;. Made past game finals for time in decades. This aspect really needs working at in US game.
A question though: Can they play on the cold rainy night in Stoke?
Can they play at 11:30 am on a hot summer day of Rio's suburbs?
Never realised until now! Some of these players I use a lot on my FM
Nice
I was literally wondering this today
Tifo is popping off these days
The USMNT needs more Pulisic's, McKennie's, Reyna's, and Sargent's (Tim Howard's and Clint Dempsey's, too) rather than Landon Donovan's, Jordan Morris's, and a bunch of others who would rather stay in comfort in the MLS...
I don't think Landon Donovan wanted to stay in comfort in the MLS, I think it just ended up being that way under circumstance. His career start with Leverkusen and subsequent loan spells for Bayern Munich and Everton should be considered somewhat indicative for that, even though he didn't have that many appearances. He secured his finances with the Galaxy while having occasional opportunities to play abroad.
I think the point is that Landon Donovan just wasn't very good compared to other players playing in Europe. Young Americans today are just better than their counterparts 10, 20 and 30 years ago. As an American, I'm certainly appreciative of Landon Donovan's contributions but he just wasn't a good enough and consistent enough player to be meaningful for a club abroad for a long time. If he was better, he would've played abroad more.
Love how in depth Tifo Football and The Athletic go in their analysis, literally top class.... yet struggle to analyse a map. Greetings from the unrecognised footballing territory of Wales.
This video says it all.
It also helps that a lot of former and current US internationals are children of military service personnel based there. Fabian Johnson for example, represented Germany at u21 level and won the Euros with them in 2009. Basically a proportion of the US team have been developed by Germany and features dual nationals. Probably makes it easier for those young players coming in to settle there.
Think Pulisic has done a great job in changing the perception that Americans can actually play football.
Hey Tifo, are you able to show which songs you use in your videos? Cheers
America is catching up to the rest of the world in terms of football talent.
Pulisic will be the norm instead of the exception soon.
Investing in youth is key
Unfortunately American progress is being stunted by the "pay-to-play" system, and its the biggest reason why we have such a robust German cohort in the national setup. I think that the best way to invest in our youth going forward is to get rid of those initial barriers that screen out so much potential talent
Noya so much fax, here in south Florida to pay for the clubs nearby is literally $1500 the bare minimum💀the max I’ve seen is $2300 and that’s just to be on the team. Imagine the fees, travel payments, etc lmfaoo i hate it here dawg lol
Blame the MLS for that. Cheap bastards created an NFL-style system to milk every last dollar out. It's not about building talent. I boycott MLS, I hate them so much.
I’ve always said America is kind of a sleeping giant in the football world with its population and sporting culture it’s gonna become good soon now that development has become better your beginning to see it
dingle_mccringleberry the USL is trying to do better than the MLS with their academy league they’re making now. USL has three tiers already, they just need to work with MLS to incorporate a pro/rep system
Make a video on Gio Reyna !
Can you do a video on early 2000s Valencia?
I feel the physical aspect is something Americans might have an advantage in even. As from a young age athletes in the US go through strength and conditioning on the regular even working with strength coaches at a young age and There’s a big emphasis on it I believe due to the other popular American sports requiring lots more strength and speed in order to be successful which makes it a more emphasized part of the game where tactics isn’t really as Important to the player, like in American football players can not dramatically change the tactics on there own it’s go’s off essentially a bunch of set plays where coaches choose the tactics and style to attack and defend each play .This mentality that players primary worry is fitness has translated over to other US sports and is why fitness not tactics is so emphasized is America
We Love tifo
Can you make a video about El Salvador’s match fixing scandal that caused them to be banned for a few years of playing the Gold Cup?
You should do a video on Ibrahimović rejuvenating Milan
Can u do..video on who should spurs sign coming window.tnx
Tifo, please make a vídeo of The future base of Brazilian National Team 2022 to 2026
Make a video on brentford
To be quite frank, German girls love American boys and vice versa, a tale that goes back at least a century. The taboo love affair has deep roots, in many different manifestations socially, culturally and persoanlly. It's not surprise such could lead to just a general acceptance of their value at higher levels than in the rest of Europe, which leads to more interest in their youth prospects.
thank you for not including Phonzy, as a Canadian that would have been annoying.
The video is about Americans... I’m sure they have the wherewithal to know he is Canadian lmaooo
Eden Hazard some europeans see us and canadians as the same. Especially when they talk shit about us
Tifo is usually better than that.
Don’t forget about Gio Reyna. He’s gonna be big in the future.
IMO a huge part of this is also that the only German club who really can afford to regularly buy well known top level players with the current transfer fees is Bayern Munich. Some otherTeams like Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig can afford to pay muc h for a player at times, but not too often. Because of that the teams need to be creative with their transfers and getting a young prospect player from the US with the chance to have him play for your team for 2 - 3 years and then selling him making good money on the transfer market is just one of their ways of being creative.
I'm calling it now. Pulisic will be at Real Madrid 4 years from now
That would be interesting, and he is a great player, but i dont know if i see it. 4 years? I could maybe see him there, but lets make it 6-7 years.
I think he likes the premier league and wants to become a Chelsea legend . England for an American is the most similar European country to home . The language and culture are easy to adapt to . The Bundesliga is a great launch point but most American football players want to make it in the premier league ultimately
🤣🤣🤣 he hamstrings made of cheese
this is also happening with German players coming to America in other sports like baseball and american football. (For basketball europe is already an established pipeline)
I wish Angel Gomes would play In Bundesliga...he will develop into a beast.
If it weren’t for work permit rules, I believe some young Manchester City players could’ve gone on loan to NYCFC and vice-versa.
Woke up just to watch Tifo
Thanks Tifo
You should go back to sleep now
You guys forgot to mention Bobby Wood, striker for Hamburger SV.
0:14 excuse me, did you just forget about 58-time US National Team player Fabian Johnson?!
rubencitostyle
and what do you know? Adams just scored the goal that put RB Leipzig in the semifinals of the champions league - granted, it was through a deflection but still he was playing in a big game and not very many people can play at the world stage
Why is Luxembourg part of Germany?
to have easy panzer access
why not tho..
It isnt
Because it’s LUXurious
....im sorry. I’ll go
plot twist Luxembourg annexed Germany, so now Germany belongs to Luxembourg
what you thought Germany was the one that annexed Luxembourg cause it's bigger?
no way Germany learned their lesson from WWII
I See Tifo uploading a video...we already know it's going to be great without even watching it in the first place
His accent is so soothing
Could y'all do a video on Zinédine Zidane's tactics after the football restart?
a few more factors: German Bundesliga Clubs likes to sign young Players, train them and sell them later. its benificiary for all Parties involved and with the Fair Play Financial Rules for Football Clubs in Germany its the best Way to earn Money even if you dont win anything.
so, its not only young American Players that get signed by big German Clubs, its talented Youth from around the World and with the Rules in Place: its impossible to sign a Ronaldo or Messi because if you loose the league 1 Time your Club is done for Financial Reasons.
Great video, but the animations suggest that Wales is England. This is not true
Orlando cities stadium is directly inspired by the Dortmund stadium with their yellow wall, we have a purple wall. So it's not just one way. I'd reckon German football is also influential here.
Hell fox sports covers the bu league closely and it gets good viewship. NBC does premier league but I think they want to switch it to their stream service peacock. Both prem and bundesliga get way more coverage than even the champions league. I have to basically illegally stream ucl cuz its not on a main channel. Hell they get more coverage then our domestic leagues. And you are our women's team, basically equivalent to Brazil or Germany men's team in terms of historic success and recent greatness. So obviously we have the talent to play sports ( name another country with more huge leagues). Alot of people here only have one way to success and that is through sports. I wouldn't be surprised if done right we see a us that produces talent like any large nation with how many people we have that dedicate their lives to sports to escape poverty
Oh and Weston McKennie also began his career in MLS FC Dallas
Yeah but never actually played for Dallas senior team in the mls
That was mentioned in the video, but McKennie rejected his Homegrown contract and finished his youth career with Schalke, thus never making a senior appearance in MLS for FC Dallas.
Is it American military personnel stationed in Germany?
Yes, there a lot of Americans born to military families in Germany, leading to a lot of dual national German-Americans
Jake Waterfall I think that was the case with Weston mkennie
Yeah there's still a lot of us soldiers stabbings in Germany. A helluva lot
Since Thomas Dooley, Jermaine Jones, Fabian Johnson, Timothy Chandler, Terrence Boyd, Julian Green.
I know a former US Navy soldier who was stationed in Germany for alot of his life. Must be very common seeing these comments
Please break down Jorge Jesus' 4-4-2 with Flamengo.
0:47 it's also worth noting that Weston McKennie and Giovanni Reyna played for MLS youth academies before transferring to Bundesliga clubs (FC Dallas & NYCFC respectively)
They mentioned McKennie’s
@@Warum.2439 they mentioned both
I literally had to do a double take when I saw that thumbnail - been watching too much Naruto...
I would have thought the reason would have been that American soldiers stationed after WWII and into the 80's would have settled in Germany and have later generations who could claim dual citizenship and thus could compete for America. But this has opened my eyes hugely. I always loved the American Team. They are a 'true' team. I don't think there is a single 'world' class player in the squad, but they can hang in with the best National teams. I thought it was down to the American 'Spirit' but now I see there is immense talent there. If you can make it in the German League, you can make it 'anywhere!' Fair play lads!
What happened with Julian Green, never heard about him after 2014WC
Worth to mention Alphonso Davies, from an MLS prospect to one the world's best LB
1:27 Herzlich Willkommen, Luxemburg und Eupen-Malmedy.
Thats practically the opposite of their neighbors. They put hefty prices on young players, never went to sell them without a good deal, never loan them or anything. There was a thing called the gentlemans pact that says clubs owners have control over decisions, so it is really tough for young mexican players to go to Europe in general.
There's a few young English as well
Tyler Adams the new "george washington of RB"
I thought part of it would be the structured similar style of play between germans and americans
