Rumor is that Arriola might be headed to Wales as well.

Deflected or not? Hard to tell

Never even entered my mind that it was deflected, because of the technique he struck it with it would always take that bend away from the keeper.

yes, i get that, it's really hard to tell if it took a slight touch off #14 or not, and the keeper's face gave me hint maybe it did. definitely not taking anything away from it

Not sure why the announcer said that. It seems clear to me that he split the two defenders with the shot.

conspiracy theory part of me says it's because Sargent is American

Doesn't that announcer say "Josh Sargent" like they say "Scott Sterling"?

Saw my colleague that's the Juve fan this week. He finally admitted that he's pretty darn good. Still had to get a dig in that he's not as technically gifted but he outworks everyone else in the pitch.

I'll watch for you. But just realize that you're not allowed to ***** and moan if you're not watching the games.

Especially when we all know this is a throw-away friendly during a period with no international window. I'm probably not watching either, but I certainly won't be mad about it, and I hope some folks get a chance to shine that otherwise wouldn't.

Personally, I'm excited to possibly see Dike, Perea, and Herrera. These games are good for getting an idea how "legit" or not these newcomers will be on the USMNT level.

Because, just like every single other year, we have an MLS centric camp in January when there's no international window.

This is a chance to get a look at how some of the MLS up and comers that are starting to get some national team buzz will look against a CONCACAF side. Like it or not our qualifying roster will likely be at least 1/3 MLS for most matches.

Ding ding ding. We always know the January camp will be MLS based.

Really hope the Olympics happen. It's a huge tourney development-wise.

Man, the last thing Japan wants is thousands of dirty gaijins invading their borders. It seems unlikely unless it's a miracle spring.

I would love to see what extreme sanitation hoops the Japanese govt wants the athletes to jump through. You know they're already thinking about pressurized team living spaces and heat flash viral decontamination or something crazy.

I dont know why certain individuals think an MLS centric team is dreadful... MLS teams and academies are proving their worth by putting young talented Americans in Europe.

They are putting raw talent in Europe. None of the kids moving there are finished products.

Right. I for one am excited to see the progression of some of these young guys called in to camp because Sunday will likely be my first opportunity to see them play a full or partial 90.
oh no

It's a buying league for south and central american talent, and seller's league to Europe. I think the development of American players going on at MLS academies, in particular certain ones like FCD, is pretty outstanding these last several years and only getting better. The MLS is on a fast track and improving its overall perception in the world, which is a great thing.

Hadn't seen this one mentioned but looks like we've got another Bundesliga player, Scally is 18 and hasn't made an appearance for the first team yet but has played 19 matches for the USA U-17s.

Just occurred to me that Tuchel and Pulisic are reuniting. Interesting!

Wow. Didn't know about him either. Gladbach are fun to watch and have a great coach.
