Nice assist by Zardes to finally break the dead lock in extra time

and now a goal by Zardes on a break away. https://streameow.com/v?v=Zn2ix8oC
No Zardes for camp now unless something amazing happens, which will probably make too many fans happy sadly. The guy simply can't win with fans.

I guess I don’t understand the offsides rule after all....even after trying to account for the angle of the camera shot and trying to go by the color separations on the pitch, I can’t figure out how he isn’t at least a full yard offside....

Yep. Dunno about a full yard, but it sure looks obviously on one side of the defender. No VAR?
Regardless- great run and finish in the 103rd minute with his team already up a goal. Exhibit 243c in the zardes guidebook.

I thought the same thing first look at speed.
Take a look at the top defender and use the line from the grass cutting. Zardes is trailing him the whole way by 1-2 feet.

Bardes will be a beast if surrounded by our top European talent. His work rate and knack for being in the right place combined with the other talent and athleticism will make for good times.

I know this is not US related but seeing as Mexico is the US's main rival I think this is worth posting here.
Awful news as Raul Jimenez suffered a fractured skull in the game against Arsenal yesterday. He had to have surgery last night. While it is far too early to know if or when he will come back, people have posted that this similar injury has caused retirement before.

My dislike for Mexico stops short of fractured skulls.
Hope he fully recovers with no side effects. :(

Was coming to post about this. Horrible news. Hope he has a full recovery.
(Selfishly, I want a fully healthy Mex the next time we kick their asses.)

@El Floppoyou might be interested in this as a compilation video for Reynolds was just posted. Lots of interesting skilled items here especially when you consider both his size (huge for a RB) and athleticism.

I know that's a highlight tape, but wow. He looks to have "it". Whatever that is. I can see why Europe is looking.
NewlyRetired
Footballguy
I agree (about both parts, wow and obviously these are highlights).
He looks like a bigger, faster, better crosser version of Cannon and I think Cannon is a really solid player at the Concacaf international level.
gianmarco
Footballguy
Completely agree. Wow.
Also, he should have about 10 more assists than what he currently has. Holy cow were there some tremendous misses that were put on a platter by him.
ETA -- I don't know if he's faster/quicker than Cannon, but definitely looks bigger/stronger/more physical. But, still pretty similar overall, I think.

Based on the comments here, this sounds like a better reel than one I watched when his name popped up which, tbh, reminded me of Swags initial "swag" reel...not much shown. Looking forward to watching this one later ..

It's probably because I watched the Chelsea game yesterday, but he reminds me of Reece James. His physicality, speed, and crossing ability is very similar.
If that's the type of RB he becomes, then I'm VERY interested.

Do you like to see a guy repeatedly beat defenders and have 25 crosses spoiled by bad finishing and/or bad runs?

Interesting result in the EPL today.
Leicester was hosting Fulham and with a win Leicester would have moved into a tie for first.
Fulham pulled off a 2-1 upset which moves them just out of the relegation zone.
Robinson went the full 90 again for Fulham.

I'm told that Caden Clark (17, NYRB) will not be on this USMNT roster for December against El Salvador. Did not get a call-up.

It's almost like they aren't expecting the ball. It's truly remarkable. Even the two they score on are scruffed.

Hearing that FC Cincinnati's Frankie Amaya will also be named to the USMNT squad. Another dual Mex-US national

Am I correct about saying that even if Efrain Alveraz does come to camp that he can't play in the friendly unless he completes the one time switch paper work?

Aaronson and McKenzie getting called into USMNT camp, per the Union’s twitter

Solid considering players from Dallas, Seattle, Columbus and the other teams left alive were not invited.
Good to see plenty of youngsters and no spots wasted on Bradley aged players.

Additional players may be added following the completion of this week’s MLS Western Conference Semifinals.
ok so who is missing that may still be called depending on results tonight?
Morris, Reynolds, Tessman, Jesus, Busio, Roldan..................any one else?
================
I just noticed Yueill was not called even though SJ was knocked out a while ago....anyone know if he is hurt or is GGG moving on?

I wonder which of the 3 keepers was the late add on for Turner who I would assume would have been the starter on this team had NE not advanced...
NewlyRetired

ok this has been confirmed by multiple sources. He is not going to play in the friendly.

I am really glad Aaronson has not left yet. There is not much creativity in this side, especially with Efra not being able to play. Aaronson would be one of the first names on the starting line up for me.
