Has to be right? hmm, the stakes seem not that high to me. Both teams have already qualified for the knock out round and it would take a GD turn around of 7 goals before Juve would pass Barca for first.

Very happy about Pulisic. Given they are playing a guy wearing number 55 today, I think this bodes well for a start for Pulisic this weekend. I am bummed about Adams. Hopefully he will get his normal UCL second half run today. Can't complain about the decision with the dream start up already 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Floppo Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'm sure Andy posted this already, but the Cadiz coach tweeted this after their win. Álvaro Cervera (Cádiz coach): "When they subbed out Dest for Trincao, we were relieved. He was the only player doing some danger through the wing. We were able to take advantage of them playing so narrow, everyone stayed central." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewlyRetired Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 CHICAGO (Dec. 8, 2020) – U.S. Soccer has confirmed that a player on the El Salvador National Team has tested positive for COVID-19. The player is in isolation and observing the appropriate quarantine protocols. His positive test came during U.S. Soccer’s arrival testing procedures. All of his pre-arrival tests were negative. No other members of the delegation have tested positive at this time. As per protocol, he was not in high-risk contact with any other players or staff prior to, or following, his arrival. The match will proceed as scheduled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injury excuse the coach gave for not playing does not seem to add up for me. He has been available as a sub since late summer. He has subbed 10 times already in the months leading up till now. There has never been one word of a relapse or missing training or anything indicating a set back. Lets just hope he can play well tomorrow and go from there.

NewlyRetired Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 with the eclectic group of young players in camp, I have zero idea who is going to start tonight. I figure Aaronson is a lock to start but outside of him, there seem to be many ways GGG could go. The CB's should be interesting to see who starts, it may give an indication as to whom GGG is looking at to partner Brooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
