My Trip to the Netherlands

Many of you probably don't know that I took a trip to Holland late last year to tour FC Utrecht, now the home of Juan Agudelo. At the time, there was nothing in the works to get him. All the hype was for Rubio Rubin - another young American who has impressed the club on trial there and is likely to sign for them later this year once he turns 18.

I am writing this experience down for another site. Here's the link to Part 1. Check it out!
