Cucho Hernandez Artemis Rocket

And LB

 

Just did some googling and it seems our new boy has had some hamstring issues this year...and an ankle. He damn well better be healthy...and stay healthy.

Meh, I’m good.

 

Passing a physical is usually involved in these sort of transactions.

 

I just hope he doesn't have as many problems as the Artemis Rocket has had....

 

I think some of us might be a bit more gun shy about the injury history of young players because of our recent experiences with Milton.

He did play right at the end of the EPL season and then appeared in a recent friendly for Colombia, after recovering from that spring '22 hamstring injury. So that's good.

But Transfermarkt lists a "muscle injury" that kept him out 183 days in 2018/19. Another much shorter (24 day) muscle injury the following season. Then there's the injury from this spring. He's also broken his foot twice, and missed decent chunks of time for those injuries.

Guess we'll find out soon enough if these were just a string of bad luck, or hints at something more foundational.

 

Obviously. But recent track record i.e. Molino (granted he is old guy) has me worried.

 

Workshopping a chant here.

Tune: Copacabana
Cucho, Cucho Hernandez
If he scores a goal we'll go bananas

 

Will cheering and signs be allowed? Or has the Nordecke "leadership" actually thought through the ramifications of being consistent?

And what sort of rank hypocrisy does it take to accept special treatment - invitations to a private welcome event - from the same management you are trying to embarrass on Sunday? The same people you're claiming are somehow immoral?

Or does moral preening not extend as far as refusing to accept special favors?

Curious in Ohio

 

The nordeke is full of some of the whiniest people in central Ohio.

 

Can we keep this shit to just one thread at a minimum?

["I think the other thing I want to say is the energy, the positivity, the smile, the attitude – everything, the way he interacts with his teammates," Porter said. "It's a big thing. When you have a top striker, it gives your team confidence. I think you saw immediately when he went in the game, the confidence grew with the players around him.]

We needed a good smile around this team.


Someone must have wrote Porter’s script for this entire interview.

edit: Goal video.


I forgot to mention after our little household erupted with joy, Markus said very matter-of-factly, “that was a violation to take off his shirt!” Haha. Kids!

 

His grandfather should be proud!

 

That isn't the SLS, you dork.

 

That's like saying a 1988 Dodge Omni is the same as a 1965 Shelby Mustang because they're both cars.

Why would you choose to be so disrespectful to The Cucho?!

 

Now if only the real thing works like the drawing,,,,

 

Oh. You bet. Pops was over this morning. He chuckled and grinned when I told him.

 

For those non-fantasy league followers



Can we... ummm... make these?

 

This field level view of Cucho's goal is pretty awesome.
