Americans Abroad

Getting the heir of Renya away from the clutches of MLS Marketing, i.e. UMSNT management, and signing with a club that by all accounts does well with player development is a solid move.

If only that long volley against Germany hadn't curved left at the last moment...

And Tyler Adams looks like the real deal to me, Leipzig is 2-0 with him as a starter, outscoring the opposition 7-0. He's fitting right in with his teammates and he even looks like a natural during the opening ceremony.

Interesting comment:

“The blackmail I was talking about was about Matt Miazga,” (Nantes manager) Halilhodzic mesaid. “He assured me that he had a sore back. After exams, however, there was no problem... He just wanted to leave the club.”

So Miazga and CCV have gone from Prem clubs, where they weren't getting PT, to Championship clubs. Hopefully Miazga gets consistent PT like CCV just got.

I would be surprised if Miazga ever plays a real game for Chelsea. Chelsea buys young talent in quantity, sends them to lesser leagues to develop and then figures out who a Champions league level player is. I loved Miazga as a kid at NYRB and won't be surprised to see him playing in the Barclays, but not for Chelsea. CCV, however, is a different story. Poch doesn't stockpile large amount of potential talent, and from all his statements seems to believe that CCV should develop into a good top level player. Obviously he has a ways to go, but I think he's far more in Spurs long term plans than Miazga is in Chelsea's.

Hence, my cited article’s related interesting comment, i.e., as if Gio independently albeit appropriately decided to pursue Europe’s challenges, potential career-enhancing benefits, etc

And today Adams doesn't get into the game until the 91st minute as Leipzig gets shut out.
 
Granted it's not exactly starter's minutes, but Sargent got into another Bundesliga game for Bremen today (they won 4-0, he came on in the 88th). He's now played in seven of their last eight BL fixtures and even scored 2 goals. Working his way into their forward rotation very nicely.

My two AA Hot Takes:

Yedlin was really good today. I understand it's against worst team in the EPL, but touch is touch and good decisions are good decisions. He's looked good the last few times I've seen him.

Tim Ream is brutal. Where's he playing next? I'm thinking the Revs.
 
Pulisic to Chelsea might be a disaster. Maybe there is a chance he’ll be able to play for someone competent after Sarru gets canned. Right now it looks like staying out at Dortmund would have been the right call.

Hearing Berhalter actually got off his MLS stamped arse and left the US to watch some players in Germany. This weekend he took in Wolfsburg/Gladbach and saw John Brooks and Fabian Johnson.

Other than Demarcus Beasley, who is still younger than Zlatan. There isn’t a single American MLS Fullback that I would pick over him. He should be in the picture if he is healthy.

Completely agree. Obviously we have no idea where a 35-year-old Johnson will be come 2022, but for now, he and Yedlin are far and away the outside backs in our A-lineup.

Carter-Vickers just got absolutely screwed in the FA Cup. They gave City a PK though his tackle was clean. What made it worse, the PK bounced off the frame, hit off the back of the keepers calf then into the net for the tying goal. It's a shame because before that CCV was playing like VVD with several blocks and heads out of trouble.

And the winning goal from City was off sides. No VAR, fine, thems the breaks. But later I'm listening to the MU game and that game has VAR? That's not an equal playing field, imo.
 
I have to say Tim Ream played a good game today against Liverpool.

If it’s possible to relegated from the Prem to League 1 in one season then Fulham and Huddersfield will find a way.

Didn't Portsmouth do exactly that a few years back?

I remember when I was young, Fulham was a big team in the limited EPL news I could get in the in the US. Whatever happened to that organization?

he really did. I was continuously impressed with his covering against our front 3. gaining valuable minutes against real competition could give him an edge in the MNT side
