A TALE OF TWO CUTIES
These two guys play for two of my favourite football (soccer) teams. And I am probably crazy, but for me they have a few similarities, despite being from different countries, playing different positions and playing in two different leagues.
First: Atsuto Uchida, Japanese, Born March 27, 1988, 5'9" tall and plays right back (#22) for Schalke04 in Germany.
Second: Fredy Montero, Colombian, Born July 26, 1987, 5'9" tall and plays forward (#17) for Seattle Sounders in the MLS.
Atsuto or 'Uchi' played for the Kashima Antlers in Japan before signing for Schalke in June 2010. He was the first Japanese footballer to reach the semifinals of the European Champions League in 2011. He has had 43 appearances with the Japan National Team.

Fredy Montero played for Deportivo Cali after one tryout at age 13. He went on loan in January 2009 to Seattle, and was the MLS Newcomer of the Year in 2009. He was also the top goalscorer in 2011 across all competitions in the MLS. He has had 4 caps for the Colombia NT.
