On this week’s From The Stands, Jason talks to Jack Mangan from SchalkeMerica about the latest American to take the Bundesliga by storm: Matthew Hoppe. They get into Schalke’s history in German football, their recent struggles, Matthew Hoppe’s performances leading up to his breakout match and why this one was so different, his future at the club, why Schalke is investing in American players and expectations for both the club and Hoppe moving forward. Plus, they get into Weston McKennie’s time at Schalke and the perception for him now that he’s moved on to Juventus and Nick Taitague’s time at the club.
