Bogert says he was on the initial roster and then had to drop out. Hopefully it was instead of Aaronson as I am unsure who else on the list he should have replaced, unless this is that specialty only role.
If we play a 3-5-2, Scally is in competition with guys like McKenzie, CCv, and Miles. My understanding is that he has played RCB in a back three for Gladbach with some regularity. If we play a 4-3-3, he's a swing FB who can play on either side in a more defensive role. I don't think he's really in competition as a wing back, IMO. But he's probably the second best defending FB in the pool (behind Jedi).
If this is supposed to be the main team then it makes no sense to not call up Adams.

Maybe that’s the reason for Adams then which makes some sense.
Uh...wot.
It is not a problem with the English. I watched the whole press conference.
Poch confirmed this is the reason in the press conference. Who replaced Adams and McGlynn we can only guess.
It does not make sense, but I also love it at this point. It just feels completely out of step with how I imagine someone who has built a decades long career in top football management would behave. But it's also funny to watch anyone hit zero Kelvin on the ****s Given scale.
I get from a club coach level...hey, its my team and ill do what i want. But its not club- he has to make selections for the overall roster. Once hes done that...Im kool and the gang with his starting 11 being completely undeniably and inexplicably his.
Fwiw, Mak and Richards are both playing RCB for club (i wanted one of them to go left to move Ream central so hes not exposed by pace on the flank)
Weird seeing them play one of the worst teams in the tournament and then directly playing one of the best in the next game. The difference is amazing after on a few minutes of watching
France finally get first shot. Had it scored it would have been called back for offside on VAR.
Yes, their depth is amazing. Not only are they missing a bunch of top players on the initial roster, some of the ones that came were called back while the team was already in Chile (similar to Kochen for the US).
Even from a club level, I think you kind of need to give players some input on how to get back into good graces. Managers who just give up on guys and have them practice separate from the team suck, IMO. I do think communication with players matters. That doesn't mean managers aren't in charge. It just means that managers keep the door open for players to improve.
GGG / Weston reunion incoming.
I don't think we talked about it but the Fire cleared the final hurdle for a new stadium in Chicago. They some how beat out the White Sox who wanted the same location. Ground breaking will be next year. Weston in a hard hat could be
Fwiw, im talking about the coach giving that info to the press and public for a national team. If a club coach is not talking to his players...yeesh. but at club level, the coach is handling starting 11...entirely his domain. He cant call in whomever he wants from around the world and have his pick. So overall player selection for the roster is out of his control. For country, he has the control and damn skippy he should be sharing with the public and press...or at least not be so offended when asked.
US played a strong game throughout. I can’t say that it should have been a 3 goal win but 2 was very fair.
I'm going to punctuate all my minor life victories by playing Blur's Song 2 now.
My bad, typing too fast.
I'd pay that.
