I saw JR Eskilson tweeted this:

J.R. Eskilson ‏@JREskilson
RT @zacrigg: Former Earthquakes player Anthony Ampaipitakwong signed for Buriram United in Thailand. http://www.buriramunited.com/th/content.ph...at=3&id=421 #GoZips

Here's the article from the team's website. It's not in English and the translation makes little sense, and even though the website has an English page, I couldn't find the article there. That's him in the picture though.

Here's another article I found about the move. He's still on the Earthquake's roster though, maybe they just haven't updated it yet though? Or maybe it's just a loan? I don't know. I wonder what sparked this move. He wasn't really getting minutes this year, but he's also still young. I'm sure we'll get the whole story soon. I hope everything works out for him, you can't help but root for him, with what he means to Akron soccer, as nice of a guy as he is, and how he literally had a hand in building our program.

Also just looked at Ampai's twitter and he said a few days ago that he was going to Thailand for a week. Twitter is so creepy. I am a creep. Oh well.

I wish Ampai the best. I hope we'll see him back at Akron someday.

Welcome, Ampai, to the Thunder Castle! wave.gif That is Buriram United's 24,00 seat home stadium. They appear to be well healed operationally. Won the Thai Treble. Can we call them the Barca of SE Asia? biggrin.gif

Sorry, I meant to link to this article about Buriram United. I might invest in a new jersey (not Gov Christie's). And -- please, please don't use the 'C' word around me or any other Gunners fan. biggrin.gif
