Didn't watch but just in general it seems like Brooks has really cemented his form recently and should be a lock for a starting spot once the USMNT resume ya? I mean I know that he was a likely starter but it's good to see him performing.Sargent and Brooks starting today and the game is on FS1 now.
Agree. Still has a pre-season feel to the overall quality and game-speed.Popeyecon said:The Bundesliga hasn't exactly covered itself in glory for a new worldwide audience while it's the only game in town.
Anybody know- How did Sarge do?Sargent and Brooks starting today and the game is on FS1 now.
All I saw is he got a yellow and was subbed off at some point according to ESPN.Anybody know- How did Sarge do?
Half expected him to have wiped out Brooks somehow.All I saw is he got a yellow and was subbed off at some point according to ESPN.
Saw some of it, but here are the two highlights you were talking about.Anybody watch Bremen today?
ESPN commentary shows Sarge talking two shots and both were saved and then scored by others, the next comment without an assist on the goal.
That leads me to think the goals were scored on rebounds from the saves?
He does a great job of tracking that ball in the air. Well taken.Weston McKennie's goal today --> https://streamja.com/MBJW3

I'm watching the score only on ESPN website... was hoping he was involved- nice!Assist!
Gio just subbed out- clearly a defensive move with 10 to go.Adams on at halftime
Is WB officially relegated now? Seems inevitable at this point.Gio just subbed out- clearly a defensive move with 10 to go.
Sarge looks to be going 90 in a must win game that WB is losing.
Can he make a one time switch?Hey, have you guys heard about this Haaland kid? He seems pretty good.
this was a lot harder, and prettier than first glance... great vision, run, and touch by Gio there!zoobird said:Assist!
The result guarantees Mainz's survival, but – paired with Fortuna Düsseldorf's 1-1 draw at home to Augsburg – it means Werder remain 17th in the table, two points off Fortuna in the relegation playoff place. The four-time Bundesliga champions now go into the final day of the season with their fate in others' hands. Anything but a win over Cologne will result in their relegation, and victory may still not be enough to save them from playing Bundesliga 2 football next season.The Z Machine said:Is WB officially relegated now?

US teenager Giovanni Reyna has a very bright future ahead of him, according to Borussia Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland.
Reyna, 17, made his long-awaited first Bundesliga start on Matchday 33, teeing up Haaland for one of two goals in the 2-0 win at RB Leipzig that secured Dortmund a second successive runners-up spot behind champions Bayern Munich.
Haaland, who made his Bundesliga debut at the same time as Reyna back in January, believes the youngster is made of all the right stuff.
"I called him 'the American dream' before," Haaland told bundesliga.com of Reyna after taking his Bundesliga tally to 13 goals in 14 games. "He's 17 years old, and what he's doing on the pitch today is amazing. He has a huge future in front of him."
Reyna was promoted to the Dortmund senior side during the 2019/20 winter break, after registering four goals and seven assists in 12 outings for the U19s.
Like January signing Haaland, the 17-year-old took his Bundesliga bow from the bench in the Matchday 18 win at Augsburg on 18 January, becoming the youngest American debutant in German top-flight history, and fifth youngest to appear for Dortmund in all competitions
He scored his maiden professional goal in the DFB Cup last-16 loss to Werder Bremen on 4 February, before usurping former BVB star Christian Pulisic not only as the youngest Dortmund player to feature in the UEFA Champions League, but the greenest American to play and assist a goal in the tournament, thanks to his cute pass for Haaland in the Black-Yellows' last-16 first leg victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
The youngest American to ever turn out in the Bundesliga, 17-year-old Gio Reyna – son of Claudio and Danielle – is already making a big impression at Borussia Dortmund.
After an injury sustained in the warm-up denied him a place in the starting XI for Dortmund's Revierderby meeting with local rivals Schalke on Matchday 26, Reyna was delighted to finally get the chance to make his mark from the off at Leipzig's Red Bull Arena.
"It was my first start, which I was really happy with," Reyna told bundesliga.com. "It was a big three points to secure second place, so we’re all really happy."
Reyna - whose father, Claudio, made 74 Bundesliga appearances during spells with Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg between 1997 and 1999 - will hope to make his second successive start when Dortmund round out their 2019/20 campaign at home to Hoffenheim on 27 May.
The New York City FC academy product - who has turned out 17 times in a Dortmund shirt since being promoted to the pro team in January 2020 - was supposed to receive his first senior international call-up from USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter in March, but friendlies against Wales and the Netherlands were cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Although the 32-time US youth international could theoretically still represent Argentina because of his father's parentage, England as his place of birth and Portugal because he holds a Portuguese passport, his heart is set on playing for the Stars and Stripes.
"It's very clear for me: I will only play for the United States, that's my home," he told Ruhr Nachrichten earlier in 2020.
We’ll know in a few short hours. It’s all speculation until then. Sweet dreams.anybody hear from the chelsea camp if CP will be starting? @CletiusMaximus?
Who is the Indiana kid on Villa's bench?Pulisic in the reserves today for CFC. I expected him to start.
Its a long short-season. Lots of rotation ahead - particularly for the AMs.Pulisic in the reserves today for CFC. I expected him to start.
Disrespect for Villa perhaps, with City up next in a couple days. Hope it doesn’t backfire.Its a long short-season. Lots of rotation ahead - particularly for the AMs.
That said, he should have gone to Spurs where he would now be injured instead of just on the bench.
We've talked about him here...but I'm no Andy and can't remember more than that he's a forward and has played himself into first team. And now I'm not even sure if any of that's the correct memory.@NewlyRetired bat signalWho is the Indiana kid on Villa's bench?
With 5 subs, there’s a good chance he gets a run today.Sucks CP on the bench. Hope you guys are right that he's "resting" for City.
sure... but if the City thing isn't the plan, this isn't a good sign for CP's standing- especially with two new quality guys coming in.With 5 subs, there’s a good chance he gets a run today.
fwiw... our comments on him in hereWe've talked about him here...but I'm no Andy and can't remember more than that he's a forward and has played himself into first team. And now I'm not even sure if any of that's the correct memory.@NewlyRetired bat signalWho is the Indiana kid on Villa's bench?
Pedro is gone in 9 days and Willian might be too. I’m hoping this was just Frank using one of the EPL’s worst teams to find another body at winger because Puli and CHO can’t play 90 minutes every game with this schedule.And CP puts it in the net almost immediately.
I hate Lampard.
That’s my impression as well. This went about as perfect as possible for Pulisic. A half game warm up, scored the equalizer and once again showed he’s a difference maker in the attack. Hudson Odoi is apparently hurt again, so Lampard was smart to use this game to figure out what he’s got.Pedro is gone in 9 days and Willian might be too. I’m hoping this was just Frank using one of the EPL’s worst teams to find another body at winger because Puli and CHO can’t play 90 minutes every game with this schedule.
That said, even if Lampard thought RLC was a better choice, then watching play back of the game will change that quickly. Chelsea was so much more dangerous the moment CP came on.
