Maybe we haven't seen it yet on the field but to come from France to an open tryout and eventually land an MLS gig is not bad. I wonder how many more Laurent Merlins are out there.
Anyway, I wrote up a feature on him for MLSnet.com now that he's all official. I also figured I'd shoot some training shots of his so people could see him run around and kick the ball a few times. It's short but he does score a goal, right at the start.
What an awesome story... it's like something straight out of a movie.
