Guardian of the Galatasaray: DeAndre Roselle Yedlin

And scored!

Great hustle on that finish. Must have watched Pulisic's goal earlier.

 

Very similar goal. Only saw the highlight but Yedlin definitely had some jets getting to the header.

 

I wonder if the Geordies still get free food for Yeddigols

 

Like most Americans right now he plays much better for club than country. That's where the flack comes from. Most players get it. He's not immune.

 

rocket man!

 

Guy was a blur. He's in very good form right now.

 

Man of the match performance right now against the cherries. Defending with confidence. Picking his spots to get forward. Almiron with a great chance hits his own man in front of open net.

 

2-1 win, yedlin w/ an excellent header for a goal. N'castle up to 11th

 

Hmmm seems like maybe the manager and his tactics might have something to do with that? The international game is different, but not that different.

 

Which is 2nd in Imperial Rome!

 

So, was he awarded it?

 

📖 @yedlinny was the player in focus in Saturday's matchday programme after making his 💯th appearance for United last weekend.

In a big interview with the USA full-back, he explained the meaning behind one of his most prominent tattoos & reflected on his #NUFC career so far.

After watching this, I think that VAR is a net negative for the game. It took away Yed's goal celebration, and the celebrations are a big part of the game. That pretty much sucks.

 

Or, if the linesman wasn't instructed to keep his flag down to allow play to go on pending VAR review, he raises his flag and wrongly rules out the goal entirely.

VAR is objectively good. It's implemented poorly in some places, but it's a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

 

I agree with this. People forget that the alternative--games routinely decided based on easily avoidable refereeing errors--is worse.

 

hi cam newton

 

I still hope to see Yedlin play in Serie A or La Liga someday but it's great that he's returned to form for Newcastle. He might be one of the few Yanks to have ever been been managed by a world-class coach (Benitez).

 

Great write up in the match program even better goal! Seattle,Akron, Newcastle!

 

He looked a bit surprised after he scored. Maybe just waiting on VAR.

 

Yedlin has that Toon look now

 

He said he was. Said he didn’t want to celebrate and look like a fool.

 

Not the thread for this, but I disagree that these missed calls are all easily avoidable. Especially offsides- that’s just a part of the game. And I saw this as a person firmly convinced that VAR would have awarded the USA a pk and Torsten Frings a red card.

 

VAR is what makes them easily avoidable.

Also VAR has reduced diving and injury faking.
