This weekend was a memorable one for Americans Abroad as two recent MLS transfers made their European club debuts, while a few other Americans found the net.
Maurice Edu (pictured) made his debut for Glasgow Rangers on Saturday in a 2-1 win over Kilmarnock while U.S. Olympic teammate Jozy Altidore impressed in his La Liga debut for Villarreal.
Then there were the goals. Neven Subotic scored another, helping spark a three-goal comeback for Borussia Dortmund, while Jeremiah White and Charlie Davies also found the net for their clubs.
