It's a good time to be an American striker abroad, and Kenny Cooper is joining Charlie Davies and Jozy Altidore as Yanks forwards making transfer season moves. The former FC Dallas forward is now a member of 1860 Munich in Bundesliga 2, where he'll compete against Yank keeper Luis Robles, who plays for FC Kaiserslautern.Cooper scored 40 times in 93 games for Dallas, but his professional career began abroad. His father was a Blackburn reserve before moving to the States for regular playing time, and Cooper had to do the same. The 6'3" younger Cooper spent time at Manchester United, Oldham Athletic and Academica Coimbra before moving to Dallas.
He's scored four times while being capped on nine occasions for the States. He notched two tallies for the US in the recently-completed Gold Cup. Americans Josh Wolff and Greg Berhalter have also suited up for 1860 Munich during their careers.
