The only thing I can think is that he was going to be out of contract in the summer. The way they did this it can help both player and team. If they decided he was not going to be an important member of the squad this spring, it makes some sense to release him. They don't have to pay him and it can make Yedlin's life easier since he will be a free agent and can have more options of where and when to move.
In a perfect world we'd be up like 3-0 in the 61st vs ELS and swap a bunch of the front six to manage minutes -- and then start this same team in all three games.
Like the lineup. Is anyone concerned that our CB pairing will have not played a match in 2 months with the end of their MLS season? Those two have been pretty great during qualifying and ELS won’t present a huge challenge but considering 9 of the 11 are still in season it is a tad unfortunate the two that may be a little rusty is the CB duo.
It is very much a concern for me.
Understood but I’d be shocked if ELS creates a lot of chances. And that’s my point and why I’m concerned about Andy’s hypothetical pairing- a CB screwup due to not being sharp seems a likely scenario for ELS scoring.
That's pretty cool.
for me- the last three were "shoulda" won games for the US. 1-1-1 isn't terrible on paper for away games in CONCACAF, but they were all winnable from what I saw on the field (aside from the US's yuck contributions). Canada has been really consistent- they'll miss Davies, but they look more than capable of winning all three of those if they play the way they have and those other teams play the way they did vs the US. CR is an unknown- I figure they'll have drastically restructured their roster since that embarrassment to the US. And tbh- CAN v PAN should be fantastic if the first matchup is any indicator.
abosultely.
We are due for 3 things during the ocho
I try to stay some what neutral when it comes to GGG bashing but I would be fairly upset if this happens.
Yeah, if we were underdogs, then I can see wanting to get the weather advantage. But we're not and I think the main advantage is getting a mostly home crowd. Otherwise, ideal conditions would help us more than bad conditions would hurt them, IMO.
his older brother Joel is the one I remember hearing about...played for the US youths... he's 25.
Ah, the old double Sonora switcheroo. I'll probably get Paxten Aaronson confused with his brother too.
It's not just the weather it's making it hard for their fans to get to the game.
Yeah, the article talked about that too.
What the heck? This is the frozen window that is made for the facial fur. Poor choice.
This is what I was thinking. Right now our Euro guys are playing in 30s and 40s in England, Germany, Scotland, Belgium, etc. and in 50s and 60s in Italy and Spain. I don't know how we get an advantage by playing in temps near zero or below(as that Minnesota game could be). Our guys are gonna be just as cold and miserable as ELS and Honduras players.
That's ####### cold, even without the wind. Nobody's going to be happy playing in that...but to encaitars point above, the tropical dudes are going to be way more miserable than the US guys. There's cold, and there's that.
