Who would have thunk it - he was actually taking a step down when he left Ajax. Maybe now he'll end up on a decent team.

Could have gone to Bayern…

…might have even learned to defend. 🤷‍♂️

HO-LEE SHIT!

 

Pulisic assisted a goal for Werner? He's a god.

Do you really want to have your mind blown?

Werner had already scored in that match.

Werner scored twice?

Pulisic's even godlier than I thought.

some yammering on r/ussoccer about Tyler Adams possibly going to ManUre...links are a bit dubious so won't provide but it appears he's in demand:

Yep. Willed the first ball in from the bench.

Chris Armas was trash with the USMNT.

He was trash as a manager for NYRB.

He was trash as a manager for Toronto FC.

He is trash and Tyler Adams should stay the fuck away from him.

That was sweet for Richards. 

Busio with a start against Juventus right now on Paramount Plus.

Good for them but yeesh the Scottish league sucks. 3 in their top 50 and none of them play for the Nats. I guess Ramirez might at some point. 

[Ted Lange 16431]

Ramirez was riding the pine for the Dynamo prior to transferring to Scotland.   Not much of an endorsement for the quality of play over there 

[Napoleon 8852]

It’s the final countdown to the last match of the year.

 

[Ted Lange 16431]

This really stinks, was hoping CONMEBOL would do something with CONCACAF.  We are going to desperately need real matches starting in 2023, since we wont have any WCQ that cycle.

The last word with Triple G.

 

[kingkoopa6 8722]

Game ready. Bout to head out.

@Zepol87 I miss barra. They was suppose to have tailgate. But They chose some corner far from stadium spot

Good to see Morris healthy.

I will put 2 rounds of beers up on this bet. If Morris is healthy, no way he doesn't get a call up. Despite our depth, it is still our thinnest position. He will make a gameday roster. In the right situation, he will get a cap.

 

On 9/21/2021 at 12:47 PM, Napoleon said:

He will absolutely get a late game cap whether it is “the right situation” or not.

Gregg will want to see him in live action to then determine whether he is ready for a start. 

There is ZERO chance that Gregg moves on from a healthy Jordan Morris.

NIL! NEIN! NADA! NONE!

 

 

Shit, we didn't even make it out of 2021 before this happened. Got the start today too. I know this is a friendly, but he's out there.

Thank God for the December friendly 🙂

Pepi, it ain't gonna get any easier than that, bro.

I would have scored there, because even though I am right-footed, I instinctually would have gone with my left foot at that point. 

My goodness his transfer value continues to slip with each flub. 😒

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

Should've been a PK. Pepi got shoved to the ground about as obviously as you'll ever see on that cross.

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

Ouch. Hate to see that.

 

Seriously, that challenge could've snapped Acosta's leg just above the ankle. Eeesh.

MLS vs Liga 12 is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity lol.

Can someone give me a 5-7 word summary of the first half?

Boring soccer.

No creativity.

Jackson fucking Yuell is on the field for the U.S…

Pepi flubs sitter

Jordan Morris is healthy

Reynolds with really nice movement there. 

Fuck Mourinho!

I think the last 3 words kind of encapsulate the first 4.

[Captain Ron 13133]

How many chances have we had in the 2nd half? I see we're playing up a man (who gets a red in a friendly?), how is this just 0-0? (oh yeah, that all-MLS roster)

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

LoL I had this GIF ready to go for a scoreless draw, but I'll take that instead.

[shnsajax 3607]

Not a bad day.

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

Bench him for that shot off target. Gotta set an example.

He is physically enormous compared to other players on the field. I don’t care what his listed height is compared to their listed heights, he always looks like the tallest guy on the field and he seems to understand how to play. It is odd that he isn’t getting more time with the national team.

I noticed this too. He seems taller than his listed height. Maybe because shorter players in general try and bump their heights up. Pulisic was claiming he's 5'10" the other day.

He needs to move to England or Germany, maybe even Italy (fuck them). He's played well against ManU and Atalanta in the Champions League, but how much stock is gained playing in Switzerland?

This a ztejas type response haha

Crazy that he got to this.

Hopefully he goes to Bayern and one two things happen:

1) The krauts teach him how to play defense.

2) The krauts accept that he isn’t a defender and develop him as a full time speedy winger in the Arjen Robben mold of Dutch wingers playing in Oktoberfestland.

[dieucla98 2963]

Davies and Dest has got to be one of the quickest FB pairings on any team out there, if it happens. And they naturally play opposite of each other. They also naturally suck at the whole defense side of being a FB but Bayern grow world class CBs like weeds so this all probably works perfect for them.

I'm kind of excited to see this happen.
