wow that was really nice from the big guy.
That was a tough angle on the rebound but still a good chance to give Coventry the lead. They ended up losing it looks like 2-1.

Was it haji on the break or haji on the rebound?

Unless Haji changed skin color, he was the guy who hit the cross barWait...
I was just adding extra commentary on the rebound because of the score line and eventual finish to the game.

Chelsea looks a little more attractive at the moment for Adams with Leeds down 2-0 at home to Cardiff at the half.

I mean it is true that Weston and Aaronson were not good for Leeds last year, but given that almost the entire team sucked (Bamford was the real cause of the drop missing sitter after sitter), and that the Yanks were almost solely blamed by the fans (not Adams) makes it very easy to laugh at them if Weston and Aaronson do well this season away from them.Chelsea looks a little more attractive at the moment for Adams with Leeds down 2-0 at home to Cardiff at the half.

They woefully underachieved. Not surprising at all that players who were part of their promotion campaign and had built up goodwill got less harsh treatment. That's the way the world works.

I noticed Gio is still not dressing for Dortmund. How worried should we be that he might just be too injury prone to ever become the player we hoped for? He is still young but the years are starting to tick by...

"Saw several comments calling Bamford a ****, a rat ******* etc, it’s just over the line. He’s a person at the end of the day and as far as I can see has always given his best effort on the pitch and done whatever he could to get a result. He’s Leeds, we’re Leeds, stop ****ing abusing our own players (note, abuse different to criticism)." - this is from February Reddit thread.I only half joke here of course.

I think the idea that American players were singled out is confirmation bias. Most in this thread only follow the Americans and see they immature attacks but don't see how all the players on relegation sides are treated. It hasn't been a lot of fun being Leeds or Everton players the last few years. It's angry and it's ugly. -- especially at well supported clubs that expect better.

Ok, that’s what I thought but that’s what I said so was confused
Sorry I think I may have misunderstood your initial post. I thought you were saying our CURRENT guys aren't on top teams because they're not good enough. In that case I was just saying Milan/Milan/Fulham/Fulham/PSV/PSV/Dortmund/Juve/etc may not be Barca/RM/Bayern/Man U/etc but they're still better than the teams the '94 guys were playing on at the time.
But sounds like you were initially referring to the '94 guys not being on top teams, not the current guys.
Yep, and sorry I wasn’t more clear. Our current guys are getting runs in some of the biggest clubs in the world. Those guys didn’t and a big factor being they were not good enough.

I disagree it was no shot. Highly unlikely sure and definite bias but if they were good enough they would have gotten chances and then if they proved themselves more chances. Totally acknowledge it’s so much easier today.

on top of the anti-US bias (due to zero precedent of top players), I'm pretty sure there were rules in the big leagues in place to have limits on the amount foreign players on rosters... something like 3.
NewlyRetired
Footballguy
that is mostly correct (some leagues had more restrictions that others but it was NOTHING like today in terms of foreign players in leagues).
This was also pre-Bosman. Player movement and squad make up was nothing like we know it today. It is very hard to compare.

This seems perfect to me. Pulisic can help integrate Musah, especially with the guys he's already familiar with from Chelsea.... Musah can help Christian with his Italian.
And if they're ever in need of a relaxing night with close friends.... Weah and McKennie are a 90 minute train ride away.

Yup. I hit a nice 3 team parlay (full coverage) on today's games taking the O2.5 in each.
I wonder if the bookies will catch on and reduce the odds and if the same effect will be seen in the premier league.

By the way, does anyone know how long Concacaf's deal with Qatar is to keep including them in Concacaf competitions? I assume it is tied to some sort of sponsorship deal.

Right now? No one. Chelsea's best 6 is an 18 year old wonderkid named Andrey Santos from Brazil. Kid has skills and is gonna be a baller, but Adams would start over him easily right now.
However, Chelsea is still trying to get Ecuadorian Moises Caicedo from Brighton and if they do, he'll be the starter without question. Given that Chelsea doesn't have any Euro ball, it would mean minutes would likely be tough to find for Tyler in that situation. If Brighton never comes off their 100M pound evaluation of Caicedo though.... who knows. Although reports are now saying Caicedo is refusing to train/play because he's pissed about the rejected bids.
Honestly, I'd prefer Tyler go somewhere else because...
1. There might be a tough fight for play time at Chelsea
2. A good portion of Chelsea fans are xenophobic towards Americans.... especially after Pulisic.
