To me, he's onside from the pass pretty clearly. The question is whether or not his teammate touched it with his head when it was coming through. Can't tell from those angles IMO.

From the stills, it's pretty apparent that the ball is flicked on. Tough for the linesman to see though. I can see why it was missed. VAR would've caught it, but they don't have VAR in the EFL. Only the Premier League.

Ans unsurprisingly they give up a 97th minute equalizing goal.
Juve have a CB with a mustache and Portuguese sounding last name who has been dreadful whenever I see him. Partially at fault here. Along with extremely lax defending in front of their box to allow the cross to come in so easily (Vlahovic had subbed in at some point and was basically walking around at the top of the box, making the MFs who'd already played 90 do the chasing.

We probably should talk about Dest today.
He was on the bench yesterday to start the game. PSV went down by 2 fairly quickly.
Dest subbed in for Richie in the middle of the first half and sounds like he played very well.
PSV came back and eventually won the game 3-2 in the 99th minute.
Dest was named to the Eredivisie team of the Week by ESPN.
Last week, Dest made a comment in an interview that may be disturbing. He was asked about how he felt rejoining the USMNT for the Gold Cup and said while he really wants to play again for the Nats, that Poch has not contacted him even once since he took over.
On the one hand, Dest has been hurt and off the radar but on the other hand, what the **** is Poch doing with all his free time if he can’t reach out and ask an injured former regular National Team starter how he is feeling?
Anyway, let’s hope that his good play will lead to a start. PSV has battled back big time. 3 games ago, they were a distant 9 points back of Ajax but today sit just 1 point out of first with two games to go. I think PSV also holds the tie breaker in case they finish level on points.

Big win for Venezia today, beating Fiorentina 2-1 to get themselves out of relegation zone with two games to play.
Busio went the full 90 for Venezia.

Let US Soccer know that I sm available to serve as liaison to Serginho. Contacting him daily about how fire he looks on YouTube and Instagram. Telling him Poch “really loved that TikTok dance.”
Keeping Serginho in the right goofy headspace is imperative.

Per @TuttoMercatoWeb , Roma are eyeing Chicago Fire’s Brian Gutierrez.
The 21-year-old has 3 goals in 8 games this season, averaging 4.6 duels won and 2 chances created per match.
Gutierrez has been a key man for Chicago since he was 18 and made his debut for the USMNT in January. His market value currently estimated to be around $6M.

Apparently some model still gives them a 0.3% chance of 4th and a 4.1% chance of 5th. They need to win out, have Juve fall on their face, and get a couple other matches to fall their way. So, realistically you're right, but they could have some crazy last minute salvation.
Or just beat Bologna, which would be prudent. And yeah, CP seems like a lock to start.

As expected CP is starting

I am hopeful that Dest is starting based on merit, but I can’t be sure because Richie is suspended today.
I'm too slow...he added an assist by the time I got the game on the tv.

Here is the Tillam goal (FWIW, nothing but a terrible deflection) and assist (makes the initial steal as well)

Surprisingly, that is only Tillman's second league assist all season. He did hit double digits with 10 league goals as well.
As usual, watching PSV's attack is a thing of beauty and watching AC Milan's is...not so much.
It's like the Milan coaches and players don't understand...I'm not even sure what to call it...it's not 'physics' or 'advanced tactics'...it's like they don't understand the properties of straight lines and the concept of distance.
They're actually looking pretty fluid in the attack, but there are still so many times where an outside back has a choice to pass straight back to the central defender on their side or can make an open pass straight across to the opposite side...and they choose the backwards pass.

Team shape usually looks bad to me. Ball goes wide to CP, and there's never a triangle or even an option in the middle- so it's either back pass, or dribble middle or forward.
I need to turn the game on.

Yeah I get that the yellow's for dissent, but he clearly got fouled and his reaction was nowhere near over the top. Ridiculous decision by the ref.

Ajax with one of the all time great chokes here. Up 9 points with 5 games to go, they are now in second, down a point with 1 game to go. They have only managed 2 points in their last 4 games where as PSV has swept all 4.
PSV now controls their own fate with a game to go.

Cavan was subbed in late tonight in a 2-2 game and was involved in the winning goal in the 96th minute (no assist, but nice to be involved none the less)
As a side related note to this game, the Galaxy misery continues as they are finding new ways to lose each week, tonight coughing up a 2-0 in the second half.

I've tried to watch Milan games and I get a sense CP's play diminished under Conceciao... mostly due to what I wrote above. He's put in a position without much if any support and can only hope to hero-ball it when on the ball, or hope his teammates find him when he's making runs in the box.

Thanks Andy! 2 tix purchased. 130 each, lower part of upper deck, halfway from midfield to endline. All seats at RB Harrison are good... I'm psyched!
