Fulham and Pepi are being linked in the rumors.

Raul really found himself again last season. Wonder how pepi would fit in there if Raul stays (granted, getting older)
Doesn't seem like an ideal situation. If he's going to leave PSV, I want him to go somewhere where he's the clear starter.

the same rumors also mentioned unnamed Italian and Spanish teams are also in the mix.
El Floppo

The reality is- he had essentially won the starting 9 role at PSV before getting hurt. They were pretty clearly phasing deJong out with less and less starts. And Pepi was producing.
So if he doesn't go anywhere, I'm good with that.

the rumors out of PSV certainly sound like either they get a premium for Pepi as a fee or they intend to make him the first choice striker next season. Like you, I am good with that.
He has been around so long he probably appears older than he is. Pepi is only 22, so he still has time to get a big move before his prime years.

Weston started for Juve tonight and Weah subbed in at halftime.
Juve is thumping Al Ain 4-0 at half.

I didn't see the arm and, but I think they mentioned he was captain for this one, playing what seemed like an 8 role. He let guys like Conceciao and Yildiz do the attacking as MFs. Felt like he played well, but took often hit the ball square or back. Didn't see him hit a single ball progressed unless it was short. Shanked his only shot (that I saw). Weah looked lively, but ultimately didn't do a lot. Ended up 5-0.

So the 83 people who saw Haiti vs Saudi live didn't show up to this?

Identical starting lineup for the US

that's pretty weird. I'd have thought he'd want to rotate to see who is who in the group stage.

Haji is not dressing tonight it seems. May be a chance to cap tie Downs.

This has nothing to do with US Soccer. This is a Concacaf event.

Not horrible so far other than some missed passes. Arfsten looking better to me than when I hated him a week or 2 ago.
But Saudis plaong to not lose, not to win and we will struggle to create chances. I hope we don't see a 65/35 possession game and come out with a loss on something stupid.

Hes been... Not good. At least he's trying to progress the ball... Just hitting it to green every time.

I don’t mind technical difficulties but this should never last this long to fix. It is like no one is paying attention.
I had to mute so please post if they fix

It has to do with US citizens liking banana ball more than soccer.
Yeah, those nail biter wins over Mexico for championships were stressful.

Who was that in the Pulisic commercial?

I can't match most of you in soccer acumen, so I focus on the other stuff...
I noticed during the singing of the national anthems portion of the program that only Tim Ream seemed to be able to approximate the lyrics, which I wouldn't care about most times, and I'd even give Poch a pass, EXCEPT that he's making a big fuss about the desire to play for country. Maybe bothering to learn the national anthem isn't in Poch's calculus, but part of me feels like some sort of patriotism should be. I never paid attention to whether Klinsmann bothered to learn the lyrics, but at least it would be better optics for a team that one is supposedly burning to play for if they bothered to learn the words, and despite being a foreigner, maybe if Poch wants his players to be sold out to play for the red, white and blue, he could set a better example by at least appearing to give a **** about the patriotic stuff that happens beforehand.
I think I'm going to go against the grain and say that if Poch leaves for another job after or even before the Gold Cup ends won't be the end of the world.

So much backwards and sideways play. I love possession as much as anyone but damn... it feels like teams know we don't have threat so its just... meh.

Id love to see Luna as a 9....
But the higher ups have decided thats reserved for players 6'0" and up.

He can't win or hold the ball.. would be worse as a nine with the goal at his back. Why would you want him up there?
