Americans Abroad In The German Bundesliga 2009-10 Season Review

Michael Bradley

Bradley played most of the season for Monchengladbach who finished middle of the table. Unlike last season, they didn’t have to face a relegation battle in the final weeks. Bradley played a central/holding midfield role for the club and has two goals and one assists in the 2009-10 Bundesliga season. While his goals were down from the 08-09 season, Bradley is continuing to grow into a dependable and solid player. He will be on the World Cup roster and very likely to start barring any injury.

The American could stay in Monchengladbach for next season but could have options to transfer to another league after the World Cup. There have been a few rumors about Bradley transferring to another league such as the EPL. Recently, former USA national Eric Wynalda stated that Liverpool was a possibility but there have been no reports confirming this or any other EPL club with Bradley. His future is unknown but a good performance in the World Cup would open the door to moving to England.

Steve Cherundolo

Cherundolo had a few injuries during the year but overall was a solid starter in the back line for Hannover 96. He’s had a solid career in Germany and will likely be on the USA roster for South Africa. Hannover almost was relegated but did win on the final match-day to stay in the top division. The American had one goal and two assists during the 2009-10 season. He’s likely to stay with the club and could even retire there as well.

Howard made 4 saves as Everton earned a point at Stamford Bridge in an entertaining 3-3 match. Everton is struggling this season but Howard remains a stable force as goalkeeper.
