  1. Fantastic piece. Cherundolo is one classy dude. It seems that all of our players who have succeeded abroad are very intelligent and open to immersing themselves in a new culture.

  2. They probably filmed it on a weekend in August before the start of the match. Might explain that or perhaps club didn’t give permission to film him at the club.

    Very similar to the video he did 6 and a half years ago

  3. apparently i am the only one who find the video about depressing. maybe i was expecting to see dolo interact with the locals and to see him banter with his teamates. still cool to see where he lives and the town. i lived in germany for 3 years, so it brings back (mostly good) memories.

  4. It seems without fail, every time I see one of these pieces on our players, in spite of varying backgrounds, I am struck that each are extremely grounded, down to earth, intelligent people. Just regular guys…. who happen to be really good at what they do. Makes it very easy to pull for them.

  5. Exactly. A foreigner abroad whose just an expat may find their patriotism increases during their stay, unintentionally of course

  6. If you have never moved to another country with a different language, it may be hard to understand the struggle for our guys abroad. My family recently moved to the Dominican Republic, and it has been fun, but very trying at times. IT is very hard to relax. Alot of what we do to just wind down, is tied to our language. Watch TV, read the paper, go to a movie, hang out in a park, have friends over, go get a bite to eat…

    Anyway, I am amazed at the abilities and determination of all professional athletes who move away from home and learn new cultures. Guys like Jozy who have been in numerous countries, well.. I can’t imagine how frustrating that could be. Maybe I should be a little more patient…….. Naaaahhhhhhhh!

  7. great vid … love Cherundolo. He has been a rock for so long. Not sure what his role will be by 2014, but he’s been a great player for us.

  8. I could literally watch these videos all day every day. So well done. The insight into the lives of these guys is really tremendous. I know it helps to live abroad, but all of our Yanks’ language abilities really impress me.
