Excerpt: Benny Feilhaber (born January 19, 1985) is Brazilian-born American soccer player who plays for New England Revolution in Major League Soccer as a midfielder. Feilhaber was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is Jewish, and was raised in his father's Jewish religion. His paternal grandfather emigrated from Austria to Brazil in 1938 to escape the Nazi regime. Feilhaber was six years old when his family moved from Brazil to settle in the United States and spent approximately eight years in the New York City suburb of Scarsdale where he played for the local soccer team, the Scarsdale Lightning. In 1996, he led the team and won the New York State Cup for the U-12 division. He attended Northwood High School in Irvine, California where he was a standout midfielder on the school's soccer team. He also played club soccer for the Irvine Strikers, winning various youth national titles. He was coached by youth coach Don Ebert.

In the 2005-06 season Feilhaber played with the Hamburg reserve team in the third division, or Regionalliga. On October 12, 2006, Feilhaber made his Bundesliga debut, coming on as a second half substitute in a 2-1 home loss to Schalke 04. His first start came on October 22, 2006, when he played ninety minutes in a 2-1 win against Bayer Leverkusen, Hamburg's first win of the
