Two American youngsters make the bench for Schalke today! These ae two (plus Pulisic of course) who aren't in our U20WC team. It's a first appearance in the full squad for 🇺🇸 boys @HajiWright and @WMckennie - good luck, lads! #FCIS04 #S04US pic.twitter.com/66LSoJuiUG— Schalke 04 USA🇺🇸 (@s04_us) May 20, 2017
Wood, battered and bruised, helped get a hockey assist in HSV's survival bid, which came down to the last 5 minutes of the game beating Wolfsburg 2-1. Wolfsburg were certainly the better team, but HSV, seriously, open the check book, bring in a few americans plz Brooks and Hertha qualify for Europe as well
He looked listless out there, had an awful giveaway that led to Leverkusen's third goal. He has not looked good for Hertha since coming back from injury.
Paul Carr of ESPN noted on Twitter yesterday that McKennie is the 9th US International to play in the Bundesliga this season. I count Pulisic, Wood, Brooks, Johnson, Chandler, Morales, Boyd, Johannsson, and McKennie. According to Carr, this is a record for the most Americans to play in the Bundesliga in a single season. One player who didn't play in the Bundesliga this season - Julian Green - has been promoted to the Bundesliga with Stuttgart. Julian Green finishes the season for Stuttgart with 10 appearances (7 starts) and 1 goal in a possible 17 matches, in addition to 2 cup appearances with Bayern and 1 goal.
As he has for the better part of 3 PL seasons now... And there's no blaming the 'boro defense this year.
Poor positioning and poor distribution. At fault for 2 or the 3 goals. How many goal kicks and restarts did he put out of touch today? 7?
Shane Oneil and NAC Breda move on in the dutch promotion playoffs with a 2-0 win, he captained the side again. They play NEC for that privilege next
Maybe they should follow Picault's path. Get dropped by a then bottom of the table 2 BuLi side, come to MLS and become a lock starter?
Since the Stuttgart game he stopped producing, and he got injured shortly after. He missed the last third of the season, can't be considered a starter at this point. Even before Sandhausen wrote him down as officially injured (hamstring, April 15), he had already missed games (not in the squad) for over a month.
