Americans Abroad Weekend Rewind: Green, Palmer-Brown, and more

Greuther Furth’s hopes of promotion to the German Bundesliga ended this weekend despite a road win over Nuremberg. Julian Green was Furth’s top performer on Saturday, assisting on the only goal in a 1-0 victory.

Green got the start for Furth and played 62 minutes on the road. His clever cross in the 55th minute set up the lone goal in the match. David Raum’s close-range header was finished giving Furth all they would need to pick up a first win since Stuttgart in February. He won six duels, completed 75% of his passes, and also successfully completed two tackles in the clean sheet win. Furth are in seventh place with three matches remaining in league play and will aim to finish strong before heading into the offseason.

Erik Palmer-Brown got on the scoring sheet this weekend for Austrian Bundesliga side Austria Wien. In a 4-1 road win over Mattersburg, Palmer-Brown came off the bench at halftime and wasted little time getting in on the action. The U.S. Men’s National Team defender headed home Dominik Fitz’s corner kick, giving Wien a 3-1 lead at the time. He also completed 87% of his passes while winning three of his four individual duels. It was a bounce-back win for Wien who next host WSG Swarovski Tirol on Tuesday.

Josh Sargent put in a strong shift for Werder Bremen in a much-needed 5-1 road win over last place Paderborn. Sargent got the nod in Florian Kohfeldt’s starting lineup and played 76 minutes. The 20-year-old registered two shots on goal, won eight duels, and drew three fouls in attack.

  1. I watched the Bremen highlights: Sargent drew a penalty flicking the ball over a defender who knocked it down with his arm. The opposing goalie saved his curler attempt and a teammate scored on the rebound. He also came in one-on-one vs the ‘keeper and should have scored, but another teammate scored on the rebound.

  2. While McKennie played pretty well I thought, it sure is frustrating to watch Schalke. They are so sloppy with the ball that I can think of any number of MLS teams that look better. On the goal they gave up, they had already subbed in a couple of extra defenders yet on the cross leading to the goal they somehow managed to only have a couple of players in the 6 yard box. I don’t know where all the other players were, but they so often seem disorganized. Finally, I couldn’t believe their GK. I counted at least 6 times where he kicked the ball out of bounds on goal kicks! Incredible. Wagner needs better players next season if they want to stay up.

    • Nubel? What’s interesting is he’s on his way to BM next season, ostensibly as Neuer’s successor. He hasn’t been great this year either.

  3. that Bayern II match was today (Sunday)
    Tillman had a brace, Richards scored, and Booth made his pro debut subbing on in the 73rd minute!

    • Bayern following Furth’s lead Timothy Till an often subs on or off with Julian Green, Bayern subbed American Taylor Booth on for Malik.
      ———————————
      Richards now tied for 3rd in the BM II scoring list, ahead of three attacking players who have been getting minutes with the first team.

      Bayern II in 2nd place down 1 pt, I don’t believe they are allowed promotion to the 2Bundesliga though. Good for Chris to be in a title battle though.
