The Yanks are really showing up for Rangers!

Welp, there’s always Europa League!

Losing handily to Belgium’s #3 team from last season. 

Is this a Home & Away?

It was home and away. And Rangers are winning 3-0 at home. Tillman scored the 3rd goal which will advance Rangers to the next round if they hold on. They are now up a man.

It just went final, so Tillman's was the winner.

Regarding the "got bunnies," my first thought after seeing the previous replay was, "Malik could've dunked that!" Dude definitely put some distance between his feet and the ground on that header.

[Bottlecap 1523]

great angle

Self-quoting is tres hedonistic, but this deserved yet another look. Malik got UP there.

What are the odds he can jump higher than anyone living in Scotland? 50/50?

Nice goal but the keeper badly misplayed it.  Looked like a 6 year old the first time he tried to catch a popup.

No disagreement that it's a misplay by the keeper. Part of that is due to the fact that he doesn't seem to even get that Tillman is a threat here. He's just waiting for the ball and Tillman does what he does.

I'm not even sure the keeper knew he was there.

This can't be real.

 

I don't mind the clean home look though. 

 

 

[Bottlecap 1523]

these are the same people who brought us the waldos and bomb pops and whatever that weird martian camo thing we qualified in all year -- and this is the big reveal? I dig the whites fine but they should always go wild with the aways.

[Bottlecap 1523]

I do dig the idea of an all-blues motif tho. When was the last time we played in all blue? ever?

[shnsajax 3591]

I still support a move over to Adidas!

Never will happen.

 

I would like to see Nike show some more creativity. They even do this with club uniforms too, playing it TOO safe.

[dieucla98 2942]

All blues and all whites? Love it. 

The best uniforms are the simplest. 

I also love that the all whites make us look English. Going to confuse those pompous a-holes.

[Napoleon 8700]

The whites are fine, but I would like some some slight variation of the Where’s Waldo kit almost all the time and definitely for each World Cup.
 

Damnit!

First - I would say I like these. The homes are solid. The aways, I might want some variety in the blue, but I like them.

Interesting point from USMNT_Stan ...

 

 

Though others have pointed out it's likely this guy created a twitter account to leak these uniforms.

Malik Tillman is settling in.

[Mittens 8306]

 

 

[Braff Zacklin 13664]

USMNT so needs another target, particularly in the air. Weston can't be the only one. Keep it up, Malik.

[shnsajax 3591]

Just now seeing this. Considering he did even make the team today he needs to move somewhere. Used to sort of support Barca, but fuck them and what they have become.

Lol. From one dumpster fire to another. Prem is a better league at least and you figure he'd play there.

They clearly demonstrated a need for defenders.

[Napoleon 8700]

Replace the lighter blue with red & white hoops and I would be okay with this.

 

The numbers would have be be either Black or Navy Blue.

You could have the Navy Blue for your darker blue, but I think that varying the colors of the blue & whether the pants were blue or black or white would be how you could switch things up.

[shnsajax 3591]

Haji!

He needs to get out of there. I of course have wanted him to stay up until this point but it's criminal for a player of his talent to be relegated to the bench.

Both Pulisic and Dest need to move. 

I don't follow soccer nearly as much as most of y'all but I do know that first team minutes > everything. I remember Tim Howard at Manchester United and when he lost the starting gig he got a job at Everton and was great. 

Both Pulisic and Dest need to find a club where they can start consistently and are valued. Both are more than good enough to do so in a top league like EPL, La Liga, Serie A etc.

Aaronson and Adams are in a great situation at Leeds and that's what they need to find. 

Just MHO.

Yeah my biggest issue with it is the teal blue. Like why? Go all dark blue if they wanted an all blue kit. That neon or teal or whatever the hell color blue it is is not good. 

[Mittens 8306]

 

 

[Bottlecap 1523]

yes, but THESE are the latest rumored kits. They look like pre-match and training kits.

 

 

Its like a 2002 call back. 

[Captain Ron 12922]

Yeah, no way those are the game uniforms. The crest is in the wrong spot.

[Ollie Slatt 289]

ESPN lists McKennie as starting Juve's Seria A opener today.  I guess the injury keeping him out of all those preseason games was not as serious as previously reported.

Leak season..... mmmmmmm 

 

But yeah. Not great. Look like some gas station knock offs. 

I don't think this new leak is real though not enough Nike swishes prominently. Also the patch has been on the left side consistently, moving it to the center doesn't seem right. Also the away jersey is too close the the camo blue they just had.

Maybe it is just because I don't want to believe, but i feel like those may be the practice/warm up kits. 

im just shocked the Swoosh isn't on the front where it always is, and the swoosh on the sleeve doesn't look stitched.

Given the crest, I would be shocked if those are anything but warmups.

 

And I wouldn't think much on the stitching vs iron ons. The official uniforms will have iron ons, they don't use stitching on those.

[Bottlecap 1523]

England currently wear a center crest (Nike) and Mexico did in WC '14 and Belgium did in 2018 (both Adidas)

There's not excluding us from wearing a centered crest. These current leaks make the original leaked all-blues and all-whites look like fucking Argentina or France by comparison. These new leaks are DREADFULLY EARLY 2000s SURGE COLA BULLSHIT. Then again nothing matters anymore: Man U are in bright Verde and Newcastle are in Saudi colors lol

Yes to any and all of these options. Would prefer to stay away from the NewBloodMoneyCastle, but still better for him than at Chelsea.

London or…

…Milan.

...Turin.

...Madrid…

- or -

…Newcastle. 😳

 

I rate the teams choices in the order that I listed them. Turin isn’t Milan or Madrid, but at Atletico he would be defending 70% of the time under the legend, Simeone. I don’t want to see that. Simeone isn’t Mourinho, but he’s not that far from it. 

AC would likely win the Serie A if he’s on the team and the other Italian option of Weston & Christian playing together all fall before the World Cup would be amazing. 
 

Newcastle? . . . ugh!

Holy fuck give me a break with the fucking loan shit, Chelsea. Either play him or sell him Tuchel. Take your Pulisic break-in-case-of-emergency panties off and make your mind up. This shit is getting to be infuriating. It will be better for both he and Chelsea to move on.

Agreed but Newcastle is still the prem and he'd be a star there. Ranking it I'd go Juve, Newcastle, Atletico, Milan. 

Granted Chelsea kind of needs him with their current roster set-up so I'm not sure I'm buying that a transfer is imminent. 

[The Dog 44140]

Please go to Juve with Weston. That would be awesome.

That would be my order except I might put Newcastle above Madrid. They want to pump crazy money into the team and will be the featured player for them right now and will get all of the minutes possible.

[shnsajax 3591]

How does Juve want to lineup? They ran a 4-4-2 with Di Maria and Vlohovic yesterday. Can you run a 4-3-2-1 with Di Maria and Pulisic and Vlahovic? I think you can, and feel that runs better for Di Maria too. Vlahovic is a badass who I think Pulisic playing underneath would be perfect. But how does that affect their mids and defense?

I dunno I just want them on the same team. Put 'em both out there and figure it out already.
