McKennie all games PBP thread

Really nice work from Wes in his defensive area. Anticipates a bad pass, claims it, smoothly works around some defenders and finds and gets a ball to Betancur with room to run forward. Betancur promptly ran right into a defender and lost the ball, but that's not on Wes.

 

It's BeNtancur, with two nasals, a Norman name, not the Canary Islands one.

 

Buffon is incredibly fit for a 50 year old.

 

McKennie still bringing the hustle as it gets late.

 

Yep, he may not be the type to make the highlight reel often, but Wes did his part, had a decent game, and didn't look out of place.

 

Atalanta reacting as if that call on Ilicic was the worst call of all time?

 

i mean he had an assist and was a crucial part of the buildup for teh second

 

Weston still running hard in minute 90

 

for a guy playing out of position I think he is doing quite well. running his ass off.

 

McKennie 50 yard sprint to get back into defensive position in the offensive half, and it helps force an Atlanta pass out of bounds. Little things.

 

Toloi came in to get a red only.

 

Wes with a vital interception in that last corner. It's over.

 

congrats Wes!

 

Yanks with Cup wins in the big four leagues plus Belgium and Austria. Not bad.

 

Hope this gives Wes a taste for more trophies...

 

Chelsea lost to L'ester though.

Also, add Siebatcheu winning the Swiss league with Young Boys.

 

For example, what happened to Chelsea v. Leicester (goal sequence starts at about 10:45):

 

McKennie was impressive pressuring the ball and making forward runs and recovery runs at the end of that game. He’s not super fast, but he seems super fit.

 

Man City and Zach did win a cup.

 

McKennie is not starting today, and neither is Ronaldo. Odd.
They have to win today and hope other results go their way

 

Juventus are away against Bologna today. The game starts at 2:45 pm eastern on ESPN+.

💺 Bench: Buffon, Pinsoglio, Bonucci, Demiral, Frabotta, Arthur, McKennie, Bernardeschi, Fagioli, Cristiano Ronaldo, Felix Correia.#BolognaJuve #FinoAllaFine #ForzaJuve

The Serie A Champions League race heading into the final match day:

3. AC Milan 76 pts +31 GD @ Atalanta
4. Napoli 76 pts + 45 GD vs. Hellas Verona
5. Juventus 75 pts +36 GD

Serie A uses head to head points and then head to head goal difference as the first two tiebreakers.

AC Milan thus has the tie breaker against Juventus (Juventus lost 0-3 at home and won 3-1 away giving them a -1 head-to-head GD).

Juventus won 2-1 at home and lost 0-1 away against Napoli so a tie would go to overall goal difference.

Confused?, well in a three way tie Milan finish third and then it comes down to overall goal difference between Napoli and Juventus:

The three-way head to head standings:
3. Milan 6 pts +2 GD
4 (tie). Napoli 6 pts -1 GD
4 (tie). Juventus 6 pts -1 GD

Obviously Napoli have a significant overall goal difference advantage heading into the day.

 

No love for Wes? Solid season and hopefully you get a little more love from the USMNT fans next season!

Forza Wes!
Fino alla fine!

 

On the bench for this friendly against Atalanta

 

Looks like he's gonna be a super sub to start the year. Or maybe it's just nursing him back from that little knee issue he had.
