With the World Cup looming and several American players involved with transfers, this European season looks to be filled with intrigue. Oguchi Onyewu may have one of the toughest tasks as he tries to secure a starting spot with AC Milan. His dominating presence in the air will hopefully secure him enough starts in Serie A to improve his skills for the next World Cup. He will be closely watched by those stateside and a lot of pressure is on him to perform.
Clint Dempsey will look to continue his impressive run at Fulham which doesn't look to be a problem. He will again look to be a top scorer from the midfield in the EPL.
Eddie Johnson is another interesting story. Could this be the year he gets it together? An active preseason for Eddie may get him a look this year instead of another loan. If he can make his play consistent and become a crowd favorite at Craven Cottage like he was at Cardiff City this could be an exciting season for him. Perhaps Eddie could make it back into the national team picture before the summer. Fulham could definitely be exciting to watch with Dempsey and Johnson on the field.
Charlie Davies stock has skyrocketed after the Confederations Cup and his signing with French Side Sochaux looks perfect. Charlie should be able to start on a consistent basis and unlike his time at Hammarby he will have other weapons on the field he can use. Charlie's blazing speed and great hold-up skills look to dice up Ligue 1 defenders and help Sochaux move up the Ligue 1 ladder. More on Freddy Adu, Michael Bradley, Steve Cherundolo and others later.
