NewlyRetired 16,758 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Alphonso Davies continues to get a ton of praise for his play at LB for Bayern from all levels (players and coaches alike). I was chuckling to myself because there was a 50-50 chance he could have been American instead of Canadian. His family moved as part of a refugee lottery. The choices were either the US or Canada but when their name was pulled they were sent North. Can you imagine Dest on the right and Davies on the left for the next 12 years?

NewlyRetired 16,758 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 At this point, the lack of negative news is actually good news. This would be a nice Christmas gift ======== A “long and frustrating process” may be coming to an end sooner rather than later for 20-year-old USMNT star Tyler Adams. Adams has missed the entire club season to date with a nagging groin problem that was hard to pin down, but with critical USMNT component Tyler Adams having returned to training this past week, the light at the end of the tunnel is fast approaching. RB Leipzig head coach Julian Nagelsmann confirmed that Adams is eyeing a return to competitive action before the end of the month. The team has three games before concluding action for 2019 and transitioning to a three-week winter break. “He may still possibly play this year,” Nagelsmann told the official club website during an update ahead of tomorrow’s Bundesliga match against Fortuna Dusseldorf. Nagelsmann did note that Adams’ body is not the only hurdle for the American, who also has to earn his way back onto the pitch among a crowded RB Leipzig midfield. Forward Hannes Wolf has also just returned from a long-term injury, making his debut off the bench last time out against Hoffenheim, while the likes of Christopher Nkunku and Konrad Laimer have played well in midfield during Adams’ time out. Adams’ versatility may help him find a way back into a crowded squad, with the ability to play full-back as well as midfield, although it has been clear in the past that RB Leipzig values his abilities in the center of the pitch. It may be some time before Adams can start, needing to build up his fitness to full match performance, but a return to the field soon is a positive sign for the U.S. National Team who needs Adams on the field and in good form in the worst way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mastroeni did not respond to requests to be interviewed, but his 2002 teammates still have plenty to say. “I’d love to just hear the direction on some of the photos,” Jones laughs. “I’d love to hear what he said to Pablo. ‘Arch your back more,’ probably.” 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
