He's that good? Feels like I've seen Dallas play like 10 times this year against Minnesota and nothing jumped out at me
Bayern are pretty banged up with injuries.

But also, I'd bet he's already improved since you last saw him - young player in a program that has better training resources and coaching than he had before.

Carragher is one of the biggest prats out there. Just tweet him clips of Henry beating his ass time and again and he'll shut up

More strikers playing in Europe is never a bad thing.

Good read from The Athletic (paywall) on potential #9 candidates (and it's currently on Black Friday special for a $1 a month for a year which is a STEAL):
https://theathletic.com/2216501/2020/11/23/usmnt-sargent-gioacchini-soto/

Players they talk about: Jozy, Zardes, Ebobisse, Gioacchini, Sargent, Soto, Akinola, Dike, Lletget/Ferreira as a false 9

Unfotunately, he's playing for Schalke which just fired their technical director and also suspended a couple of players

People should 100% take advantage of $1 a month for a year. They have great content over a lot of different sports

What do they say about Lletget being a false nine? I'd be shocked and gutted if that was something we actually entertained.

Was more the observation that it was something Berhalter has done before and that it could open up a role for a more non-traditional striker.

For sure, if you follow more than one team in any major sport (or even just seriously follow any major sport) it's totally worth it.

As much as I would like FC Dallas to beat the Sounders tomorrow, I also want Reynolds, Tessman, and Ferreira to play with the MNT in December

Thanks for this. Obviously a highlight reel but he has super quick feet and seems decisive. Plays relaxed as if he's just playing in the park but with an intensity. That ball at 1:00 was nasty.

still playing, anyone still alive in MLS Cup playoffs isn't on there

excited to see Dike. good friend of mine in OKC basically funded his club career as a youth, said if he played football he'd be in the NFL one day (yeah sure, but said for affect). freak athlete

Yeah, no players included from the six teams still alive in the MLS playoffs. I guess we might could see a couple of additions from the losers of the Seattle-Dallas and SKC-Minnesota games happening this week? Not sure how that works exactly.

Edit, additions are possible:

Quote:

... though if Seattle lose to FC Dallas on Tuesday night, I could very easily see Morris and Cristian Roldan being late additions, while if Seattle win there are as many as five Dallas players I could see sneaking onto the final roster.

only guy from MN that would warrant a call up would be Chase Gasper at LB.

One of the guys that covers FC Dallas said that Tessman, Reynolds, and Ferreira were called in. I'm just assuming it was contingent on NOT being in the playoffs.

Is this December game in lieu of the usual January window or an additional one?
