[ZooCougar]

Not a bad list.

 

[LIuconn]

Looks good to me. No Pulisic due to big Bayern match soon after.

 

[outlaw]

really hope we get to see Novakovic play up top with Weah

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Nagbe? No younger yute's available than a 27 year old guy? How much is there to learn about Nagbe?

Someone has to buy the beer.

 

[LIuconn]

Does Weah playing tie him to US? If so, he better start before he can change his mind!

No, only in competitive matches.

 

[LIuconn]

Thought so. Well, hope our recruiters work a bit harder with him than JonGon. Might be tougher considering his father's position...

They should have a scout in Paris almost all the time. Weah cracked the 18 recently.

Mexico poached Gonzales basically doing the college football thing. They had a plan laid out for him.

I was thinking about what @businesslawyer said about the GM and that is the way to go. But we should also have a full time salaried scouting staff in Europe now.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Hopefully Manneh gets some time, his naturalization/citizenship has taken a long time.

 

[omarcheek]

What we need to know about Bobby Wood is that he is the greatest American since John Brooks.

 

[outlaw]

anyone making the trip to Cary, NC for the game?

 

[Kgun7]

Looks good to me. No Pulisic due to big Bayern match soon after.

Also ... Pulisic has been battling the flu lately and it has limited his last few matches. He started last match, but only went 70'.

 

[Waquoit]

Nagbe? No younger yute's available than a 27 year old guy? How much is there to learn about Nagbe?

Exactly, we've learned he's a stiff.

And can I say I hate this I'ntl break? Virtually no good games for 2 weeks!

It's the worst one. Breaks up Champs League, EPL final stretch.. all for a cash grab.

We will see how many stars suit up in Europe. Hoping most of my Reds make it through unscathed

 

[ZooCougar]

Putting a game in Cary is blatant cronyism.

Well they are not going to go up against the NCAA's on the weekends. They are not THAT dumb.

no they are just random Tuesday in Cary NC dumb

 

[meyers7]

Cary might be dumb, but Tuesday's not.

 

[outlaw]

but Tuesday's not.

well yeah its a FIFA sanctioned date. just sayin. silliness.

can't wait for the game regardless

You could say it's silly to play it at all. But I'd like to see them using these dates to get the young guys in to take a look at them. And they seem to be doing that somewhat.
We need all the damn work together we can get.

 

[outlaw]

Yeah for sure. Wasted today as another opportunity for a cash grab and chance to play together. Tuesday will suffice, for now.

Hey now, USSF may not have made another stupid decision, but what are the chances they just screwed up. After all, it's the USSF!
