We have to consider forwards, but I’d say, without McKennie, this is our best group.

Two violations, two games. To me, absent aggravating factors, that seems reasonable. Plus a very strict, just-for-him, curfew policy. Probably through Qatar. I wrote that before this new news. By the way, your namesake was tangentially in the news. His defensive partner died after 39 years in a coma due to a botched operation.
That's been pretty obvious based on CP availability after the game and his calm behavior. How much he is mad now due to the stupid rumor is another question.
Oh give me a break. He hasn't lost his talent. These are curfew/Covid violations. They are stupid but you are acting like he went all NFL or NBA here, dragging a drunk woman through a Casino hotel or something. He didn't drive drunk (Abby Wambach) multiple times and he didn't beat up his boyfriend's son (Hope Solo). He didn't do anything close to being illegal.
Yes. I saw that. A very sad situation. Jean-Pierre Adams was his name. They paid a nice tribute to him before the France-Finland game in Lyon today. By the way, I appreciate your knowledge of soccer history. Some Mexico fans on this board had thought that was a photo of Freddy Adu!
"But but she changed her Insta to private since I was last snooping through it" Yeah probably because of the thousands of creeps like you.
Can you imagine... let’s say you’re 25 and IF you wake up... you wake up as a 60 year old man? That said, God bless and may him and his finally be at peace.
If that were true, no team in Europe would have any Brazilian players. Do you remember Edmundo? That dude just took off and went to Carnaval in Brazil during the season one year while he was playing at Fiorentina. Without notifying the team. And the partying the night before games by guys like Romario and Ronaldinho Gaucho was legendary.
Damn... I’m older than I thought. I’m still waiting on the day when people say L-O-L to laugh instead of actually laughing.
Per Steve Goff at the news conference ... Does Weston McKennie have USMNT future? "Of course," Berhalter says. "It’s an open-door policy. Very rarely would there be a situation where a player would never be allowed back. That’s not how we operate. Guys are in and out, based on performance and how they’re doing." "Me and Weston have long conversations. He is a guy I care about deeply. He is a big part of the team and I’m sure when he is performing well, he’ll be back in the team." ++++++++++++ Me and Weston? I've taken just about all I'm gonna take from this guy.
I get it. Really. But enough that people are talking about him not returning to the USMNT for the remainder of the year? Or ever? Those are very overblown if that's what it turns out to be. Karim Benzema went to trial for trying to blackmail French teammate Mathieu Valbuena with a sex tape. So while McKennie definitely let his team down and I could see them being disappointed with him horn-dogging while they're supposed to be laser-focused on WCQ, I'd be surprised if most of those guys wouldn't still want him there going into a match like Honduras. I mean, should they be any madder at him than guys that actually got the disease and couldn't play because of it, the thing they feared from McKennie? If no one has actually been exposed or needs to quarantine, then he merely breached protocol.
Jean-Pierre Adams was a really good player in the 1970's. He formed a center back pair for France with Marius Tresor at that time (see photo at left <). Two black players at a time when no other national teams in Europe had any black players, other than Portugal.
' Just learned about both of them. And the Doctor who made the mistake that lead to Adams' coma was only fined like 815 Euros.
He'll be back next window. 3G said he will be back. He doesn't want to lose one of his best players but he broke a rule and needs to be punished. Also, whether he needed to be punished or not, once you break the bubble, you put others at risk, so back to Juve he went. Any other action would be unsafe and against protocol.
LMAO Many players have broke Covid protocol since Covid started. Their careers are fine, and so is Weston. Does this mean he gets a pass? Absolutely NOT. Extremely poor judgement/decision making on his part. Let's just hope that it is not a pattern that will be repeated.
