After Standard Liege’s season opener at the brand new Easi Arena, home of newly promoted RAAL La Louviere, Yanks Abroad caught up with newly appointed team captain, Marlon Fossey. The Jersey boy and twice capped USA international fielded a handful of questions. Unlike yours truly who is from the great state of New Jersey, Fossey […]
The Jupiler Pro League season got underway this weekend and for Standard Liege, led by their newly appointed team captain, Marlon Fossey, they travelled to La Louviere to take on league newcomers, Royal Association Athlétique Louviéroise La Louvière.

Recently back from his summer Paris Olympics adventure, Griffin Yow returned to Westerlo’s starting line-up when KVC Westerlo travelled to Brussels to take on Anderlecht on Saturday night. His return only lasted the first half as the former DC United winger was pulled at halftime after picking up an injury.
It’s seems like only a short time ago that 19-year-old Griffin Yow said goodbye to the United States and DC United, when he signed on with newly-promoted KVC Westerlo in the Belgian Pro League.

A relatively unknown American playing “the beautiful game” in Europe is Californian Kahveh Zahiroleslam who has had a solid first season with Belgian Pro League side Sint-Truiden.

Club and their fans expected an easy afternoon and a few more points to take into the Championship Playoff Group against mid-table STVV, but it was not […]
Mark McKenzie came to Belgium three years ago to challenge myself and he feels he’s made the right decision to start his European career in Belgium with KRC Genk.
In a must-win game on Sunday afternoon when fierce rivals Standard Liege came to town, Genk did just enough to secure the three points and move up into fifth place, with just one game remaining in the Pro League’s regular season.
Marlon Fossey and Standard Liege picked up an important, last-minute point on their trip to American-owned Molenbeek, while Mark McKenzie and Genk continued to slump with a narrow home loss.
