GUADALAJARA, Mexico – If the name Diego Chávarri doesn’t move the needle for you, that’s not a surprise. This past spring, a handful of reports in the American press uncovered the fact that a young, up-and-coming winger down in Peru actually had a US passport.

Six months later, Chávarri is still mostly an unknown in US soccer circles. But the New York-born 22-year-old is trying to change all that – and perhaps make a surprising run at making the US Olympic team next summer.
