Born in Michigan, Lambo moved with his family to Chicago, Illinois when he was a small child. He played club soccer for Chicago Magic (where one of his teammates was US national team goalkeeper Brad Guzan), before moving to Middleton, Wisconsin in the summer of 2005, where he attended Middleton High School for less than two months before signing a Generation Adidas contract and joining the US Residency Program in Bradenton, Florida. As a 15-year old he spent the summer training with Everton F.C. during their US tour in 2006 on the recommendation of US international Tim Howard and was invited to Finch Farm before being offered a professional contract on the proviso that he could secure an EU passport due to his Greek heritage. [1]
Lambo was drafted in the first round (8th overall) of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft by FC Dallas. He played in the MLS Reserve Division, as was a named first team substitute on several occasions, but missed most of the second half of the 2008 season after he broke his jaw in a reserve team game. He has yet to make his MLS debut, but did appear for his team in an international friendly match versus Costa Rica’s CS Herediano in June 2009.
He was loaned to USSF Division 2 Professional League expansion team FC Tampa Bay for the 2010 season.[2] He made his professional debut on May 14, 2010 in a 2-1 victory over the Carolina RailHawks.[3]
Lambo has been a regular member of US youth national teams since 2007. He has made two appearances for the United States U-17 national team, and was part of the United States U-20 national team at the FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Egypt.
