Poland Article # 3
13:00pm , German time, September 5th

Hello all,
I woke up this morning and found this news online.  Could be interesting for coach Leo Beenhakker and the blog.  I shared it with him this morning. He was at the U20 World Cup in Canada  and said he would check further into Szetela.

I forwarded him the e-mail below.

SZETELA SIGNS WITH LA LIGA'S RACING SANTANDER: U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team midfielder Danny Szetela has signed with La Liga's Racing Santander,and is currently going through physicals before joining the team. The 20-year-old former member of the Columbus Crew was one of the stars of the recent FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Canada, scoring three goals in the team's run to the quarterfinals, including the USA's lone goal in a 1-1 tie with
South Korea and two against Poland in a 6-1 victory. Szetela, who holds a Polish passport through his parents, becomes the third member of the Under-20 squad to sign an overseas contract, joining teammates Freddy Adu (Benfica) and Sal Zizzo (Hannover 96) in Europe.
