There is no lack of German speakers on the Seattle Sounders! The new addition of Christian Tiffert makes the third Seattle Sounder to have a German speaking background, the other two being coach Sigi Schmidt, and Austrian goalkeeper Michael Gspurning. Germany is a breeding ground for top soccer players and it is impressive that Seattle has such a large interest in these players, but Seattle is not the only city to do so. There are seven other teams that have German players on their roster! In 2012 alone four new additions have been made! If we look at American players in Germany the numbers are much higher with a total of 16 players! Let's hope this trend continues and the German/American exchange of strong soccer players lasts for a long time!
