PBP: Reyna: Duisburg v Borussia Dortmund, DFB Cup. 9/14

Appears to be a first-choice lineup.

 

Hyped. Gio with a hat trick of assists.

 

Stream on ESPN3.

I'm not sure what the difference is between that and ESPN+.

 

According to TV announcer, Reya will be playing as a LW/LF

 

Big difference. to get ESPN3 you need to have a cable provider with ESPN or purchase the ESPN channel outright.

 

The cable industry is annoying as hell. Thanks for the clarification.

 

He's playing centrally for the most part. But shading a little to the left.

 

Taking the (right) corners? Was he doing that before?

*eta* both sides.

 

haaland lol

 

He looks really good. Almost had a hockey assist for Haalland just now.

 

If Reyna can play the short game for us as he does for club we will move to the next level of soccer.

 

Looks like an awful lot of freedom, definitely has been central much more than on the left. If he lined up as a wing, he's sure not playing like one so far.

 

wow that's unlucky for Duisburg.

 

Somehow that dude got a hand ball with his hand behind his body, oof.

 

All the pressure pays off with a PK - handball off a Witsel cross, Sancho finishes the PK.

 

Reyna just shoved that guy into next week.

 

I think it takes more than the ~5ish top level players we have, and it's just Duisberg... However, Reyna looks very comfortable on the ball. More than anyone else in the pool with the possible exception of Pulisic. Does all the little body positing very well. Makes good choices. I'm excited.

 

Marco Reus would like to beat you up.

 

this really isn't fair to start this lineup against a 3 liga side.

 

Good to see Dortmund finally have a talented youngster - Bellingham looks like teh real deal.

 

it's insane how they find and produce these guys.

 

And that’s how Marco Reus breaks his hand.

 

Gio seems to be dropping pretty deep to get on the ball.
