Links, links, and more links in this edition of United Abroad. It seems like everyone that used to play for our beloved team is scoring goals for their new team, except for Facundo Erpen of course. Let's get started, shall we? (For some of the links a translator app may be needed. I use Google Chrome and it translates for me, though, even with the translator, you may still not be able to understand it. But hey! That's what I'm here for!)

Charlie Davies made his third start of the season for FC Randers in its 2-2 tie at AaB. He still hasn't scored yet, (scoreless in 23 appearances), but it looks like he did make a pass that led to a goal.

Football Every Day " Doe returns and vows to get back his goalscoring form
Francis Doe returned to action after his ankle injury that kept him out for a few games with Selangor FA.

Doe followed up those comments starting in 0-2 loss and registered the team's only shot on target in the 80th minute. Boy, DC sure could use some shots on goal, even Doe giving them one per game couldn't hurt... right?
Chiasso gets the win, gets three points, and Emiliano Dudar scores. Viva Chiasso!

Freddy Adu didn't play during Bahia's 7-3 loss vs Vitoria, but after a coaching change, he did log 30 minutes in the club's 1-1 draw with the same team. Perhaps this is a sign of things to come for Adu with Bahia under his third coach in two months with the team. Yes, you read that right, three coaches in two months. Also, Bahia sold ten tickets to that 1-1 game. You also read that right, ten tickets. Bahia will begin play in the Brazilian League Championship this Sunday.

That does it for the month of May, hopefully DC United can get back on track so I don't have to watch Christian Gomez highlights to cheer up or stare at Salihi's stats and play the "what-if?" game. As always, Vamos United.
But wait! There's a poll!
