Matthew Hoppe has landed in the Budesliga. To see a native Socal kids (Strikers FC for a few years) score 3 goals this weekend is the coolest thing for a local soccer fanatic like myself.
It's just 1 game and only 5 starts this season but to score 3 at age 19 in Germany is definitely a big deal. Clearly we need to see more from him in the coming months. I am hoping that he can take be the next Clint Dempsey for our US National team. Sebastian Soto is another youth player from Socal that could potentially breakout as long as he can get out of that messy contract with the Eredevisie league. Julian Araujo out of Lompoc has been linked (rumor) to Tottenham. Personally I would rather see him move to a smaller club to get more minutes.
So it looks like Socal boys soccer is finally stepping to the big leagues and not allowing FC Dallas to get all the recent attention with their success.
Any other Socal soccer players making it through the European youth ranks?
