Xavier is a good player. He should help shore up Hannover's back line. On a side note, US intnernational Clint Mathis scored on his debut for Hannover. Next week Fox Sports World (Both US and Canada) are going to carry the Bayern Munich-Hannover 96 match live. This is due to 4 North American players taking part on the match. Americans: Mathis, Cherundolo Cannucks: DeGuzman Hargreaves (sort of). I think this will be the first time in soccer history 4 North Americans will be playing on the pitch at the same time (in a big 4 league).

You'd have to think that 3 on one team in a big 4 league is also a first.
