The preponderance of Americans in the Premier League this season meant games like Saturday would always be on the horizon.
Fulhamerica versus Leeds United States of America. The Yankee Doodle Derby. The game that we here at the Five had been salivating over for weeks.
Four Americans started, two on either side. Two more could’ve been involved were it not for injury (Tyler Adams) or getting sacked (sorry, Jesse Marsch).
In the end, like it’s been for so much of the season, Fulham’s Americans had a very good day and those at Leeds did not.
The marquee matchup for fervent Americans Abroad trackers like ourselves leads off this week’s Five.
