Spotted: Alecko Eskandarian on Trial at Gooch's Club

Last seen poking around the front office of D.C. United for work, Eski has popped up in Belgium looking for a job at Standard Liege. If that name rings a bell it's because it's Gooch Onyewu's club. Apparently Eski is on trial there (not like for war crimes or anything, just to try out for the team).

Have you ever been to Belgium? I have and it was the most boring place I have ever been to. And I went to high school in west Texas! Maybe the whole place isn't bad, but Brussels is amazingly lame. I ended up hooking up with a co-worker (which I soooo don't recommend unless you are ready to update your profile on HotJobs the morning after) out of boredom in the toilets at an Underworld gig.

The only other thing to do there was eat. Belgian waffles. Rabbit. Pomme Frites. Chocolate. Mussels. All kinds of stuff I never eat but seemed to be drawn to inexplicably. Oh well, it beats living in Salt Lake City.

Thanks to JayDelight for the heads up.

Man, I liked Belgium. Any place known for waffles, chocolate and beer has to be good. That said, I wasn't in Brussels...

Good for Alecko. Best of luck to him.

I loved Brussels. Best beer in Europe.

The words boredom and underworld do not belong in the same sentence.

Of course getting laid is more important than just about anything.

oh yeah, the topic of the article... Will Esky bring his retard helmet with him?

Never been to Belgium, but I'm sure it's on the same level as when I spent some time in Minsk. There weren't even any Jewish singing mice. Eski is pretty much a less talented version of Hockey's Lindross. As a New Jerseyite... I hope he catches on.
