Diego Tempera

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm not entirely convinced that this is a factual article. It is supposed to be about a soccer goalkeeper who played "professionally for several teams in the USL First Division". Yet Google finds absolutely no trace of this. Of course, media coverage of the USL is not all that good but it's still very unusual. There's a claim that he signed in 2011 with A.C. Perugia Calcio. Google never heard of that either. And the article claims that in 2010 "rumours swirled that Diego would move to the Spanish club Sporting de Gijón" but it seems like they didn't swirl very hard. In any case, the whole claim is dubious because 36 year old American goalkeepers who are not good enough for the MLS are unlikely to be of much interest for second division European clubs. The article provides a reference to this book but Google doesn't appear to find any occurrence of that name in the book. So basically, I think this is a hoax.
