Julian Wesley Green (born June 6, 1995) is an American soccer player who plays as a winger for FC Bayern Munich, and for the United States national team.

On July 1, 2014, Green became the youngest player in the history of the United States to score in the World Cup.

Club career

Bayern Munich

On November 8, 2013, Green signed a professional contract with Bayern Munich to stay at the club until 2017.[2] Green made his professional debut on November 27, 2013, coming on in the 88th minute of a UEFA Champions League game against CSKA Moscow as a substitute for Mario Götze.[3][4] He was named in Bayern's squad for the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup, as a late replacement for the injured Arjen Robben.[5] Green was listed as a member of the first team for the 2014–15 season.[6][7]

Loan to Hamburger SV

On September 1, 2014, it was announced that Green would be on loan with Hamburger SV for the 2014–15 season.[8]

In February 2015, the German newspaper Bild reported that Green had been demoted to Hamburger SV II, HSV's reserve side that plays in the fourth tier of German soccer.[9] Green, who had been limited to 113 first-team minutes all season, denied the report and the club press officer said he would play with HSV II "a couple times when he is not in the first-team squad" to get more game action and match fitness, but that he was still training with the first team.[10]

Return to Bayern

On August 20, 2015, Green was demoted to FC Bayern Munich II. He made his first appearance of the season playing right back in a match on August 21, 2015 against SV Schalding-Heining.[11] On October 23, 2015, Julian Green scored a hat trick against FC Augsburg II.[12] Green started a Champions League match for Bayern Munich against Dinamo Zagreb, playing 62 minutes. It marked Green's first appearance with the first team in over two years.[13]

Green returned to the first-team after new manager, Carlo Ancelotti, included him in the preseason squad. During the second game of their U.S. tour, Green scored a hat trick in the first 35 minutes, helping Munich to a 4–1 win over Inter Milan.[14] Following an international break in which Green scored two goals in two successive matches,[15] Ancelotti hinted that Green could be receiving a "chance to play in the next few games".[16] That chance came on October 26, 2016, when Green scored his first competitive goal for Bayern, coming against FC Augsburg in a 3–1 victory in the second round of the DFB-Pokal. With the goal, Green successfully became the first American to score a goal for Bayern.[17] To that point in the season, despite being regularly named to the squad for Bundesliga matches, Green had only made a substitute appearance in the Pokal, against first round opponent FC Carl Zeiss Jena.

International career

Green playing for the United States in 2014

Green was born in Tampa, Florida, United States to an American father and German mother. His mother moved back with him to Germany when he was two years old.[18] Eligible to play for either the United States or German national teams, he was sought after by both federations.

His international career began with Germany U16s and U17s. In September 2012, Green represented the United States at the U18 level in an international friendly with Netherlands, scoring in a 4–2 victory.[19]

Green has represented Germany at the U19 level and featured in the qualifying round of the 2014 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[20]

Green was called up to the United States senior team by head coach Jürgen Klinsmann for friendlies in November 2013, but he declined the call due to being ineligible to play unless a one-time switch – allowed for players with dual nationalities - was filed, something he said he was not ready to do. Instead he joined the German U19 team for a friendly against France.[21][22] He trained with the United States ahead of their match against Ukraine on March 5, 2014.[23] Green filed for a one-time switch to play for the United States on March 18, 2014.[24] Prior to his senior international appearance, Green played internationally for the German and American youth teams due to having dual citizenship. Explaining his decision to play for the U.S., Green said, "I was born in Florida and my father still lives there, so I have deep roots in the U.S. I'm very proud to be representing the United States."[25]

On March 24, 2014, FIFA approved Green's change of nationality, making him eligible to play in games for the United States with immediate effect.[26] Two days later, Green received his first call up for the senior national team for a friendly in April against Mexico.[27] Green made his debut in the second half.[28]

Green was selected as a part of the United States men's national team on May 12, 2014, to train for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. He was named to the final 23-man squad on 22 May.[29][30]

On July 1, 2014, Green became the youngest player in U.S. history to score in the World Cup, scoring with a volley in the 107th minute with his first touch of the ball, less than two minutes into his debut game against Belgium in the round of 16.[31] With the goal, he became the youngest player to score at that World Cup.[32]
