They Needed a Minivan but Got a Gio: Reyna at Nottingham Forest (Olf Borussia Dortmund)

or Leon Bailey and look where they both ended up

 

Unless he’s good enough for England and want to win a World Cup.

 

gios dad wasn’t even alive the last time england won a world cup

 

i think it would be something like 99% US maybe .95% England (as noted if he wants to win it over anything else) and then like .05% (so that's 1 time out of 200) he chooses Argentina like in some alt universe ms. argentina is his GF/wife.

 

No one was alive the last time the U.S made a World Cup final game.

 

I’m sure he has a large U.S. bias but never rule out the temptation of being wanted by a world class national team.

 

Or England.

 

I see what you did there

 

FIFA ranking: February 2020 final preview
1 Belgium 1764,51
2 France 1732,57
3 Brazil 1711,76
4 England 1660,71
5 Uruguay 1645,24

 

Argentina has some serious talent.

They are also an excellent footballing nation

 

I "si" what you did there.

 

We never made it to the finals. Semis, yes. in 1930 which means someone in their late 80s would still be alive and maybe remember as a 9 year old.

 

The accompanying podcast to the Athletic piece goes into a surprisingly earnest discussion of the Reyna-to-England plot:

Should I tell him?

 

Maybe it was the Semis and not the Final. Regardless, I seem to have read somewhere that people were alive in 1930.

 

I can believe that the English FA would be looking into the possibility of nabbing Reyna -- didn't they also try that with Kasper Schmeichel, for example?

But I'm not going to worry until I see some evidence he's actually eligible for them. And even then I'm not going to worry.

 

If I was in Reyna's shoes I would never play for another country except for the USA because this is MY country. Based on everything I know about his life, I find it hard to believe that Reyna would feel differently so Im not worried about it.

 

Tell Imorin as well.

 

The math is getting tougher and tougher. 2020 was an inconceivable number when I was born.

 

So far, Favre has used Hazard to start games and Reyna comes in for him later. The impressive thing is that Reyna has come in in high leverage situations. Behind, tied, ahead, it doesn't matter.

With Brandt coming back, he will start ahead of Hazard. Does Hazard then get Gio's minutes off the bench? Or is Chan dropped to the backline, Brandt goes back into the double pivot and Hazard continues to start up top? Then Reus is coming back.

When Brandt and Reus are back, I can't see Hazard starting. Does Gio then jump him in the pecking order?

It is really incredible what this kid is doing. In the summer, if Sancho doesn't leave, then Hazard will probably go.

 

i'm sure they'd love to have Kasper right now

 

Na, da puns are out of control in YA forums

I wonder if he will have the same fate as Indiana Vassilev
