The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

I watched the second half -- Kane, Vardy and Dele Alli were great. I don't mind if Rooney starts ahead of Vardy, who would provide such speed off of the bench.

 

A nice little story on soccer podcast from one of the regular contributors to Fooball Weekly, my favorite soccer podcast.

They’re all talk but it seems everyone loves a podcast | Barry Glendenning

 

Barry Glendenning is on TalkSport every Sunday morning at 6 ET. A good guy but a better writer than a co-presenter.

 

I'll second the push for Hamid. However, he seems to get injured often. In the meantime, they should be using the netminders that are in form and playing regularly in MLS.

I've always hated the hiring of Klinsmann. Honestly, he should be fired after tonight's game regardless of the result. The fact that he got the US in this predicament is bad enough. The fact that the team is constantly underperforming is pathetic.

 

He better damn well get Pulisic cap-tied.

 

Pulisic isn't going anywhere. He'll play for USA regardless.

 

First half has been far better. At this point, key is making sure that Lil' Bradley doesn't get a yellow card and be suspended for the T and T match.

 

Cameron is having a great game. Zardes has the first touch of a garbage truck.

 

Did you guys realize there's basketball on?

NIT. But still.

 

Terrible first touch by Zardes turns into a great assist.

 

Assuming a win against St. Vincent, it looks like a tie against T and T gets us through to the Hex

 

Where was that performance last week?

And as good as the senior team looked, the U23s are struggling against Columbia.
