    Pepi gets his obligatory 5 minutes. Probably will bag a couple. Let's see.

    Road, not home. Can't rely on all ball creativity on the wings, when Jamaica's likely to sit back. Wes isn't the guy you want picking a pass into tight spaces or shooting from distance.

    Jamaica has played Damian Lowe at CDM the last few times we played them; I want someone he can't dominate. And I want Wes forward -- he's not a traditional 10, but he will get goals and assists.

    If we play the dual 10 set up that Poch played last time, that puts the ball with Pulisic coming in from the wing, and puts McKennie on the opposite side of the box to play his chaos role. I like that dynamic, especially with Weah playing on the right width with Scalley still at RB.

    Pulisic is basically your primary creator in that set up -- call him the offensive 10 if you like -- but I get McKennie's McKennie-ness up front and near the box.

    I don't think we see the Spurs-style 6 in attack at the start of the game.

    2-1 now ac Milan. They came to play.

    still absolutely cannot fathom how Jonathon David is “only” at Lille. That is so far beneath him at this point……

    trusty and CCV are somehow up ahead of RB Leipzig going into half 2-1

    ask dortmund supporters how good an idea it is to get excited with a lead over madrid...and milans defense is way worse.

    Pulisic is starting to resemble Donovan in yet another way at the top of the US mountain, by developing a little consistency on set piece quality in his mid-20s. Just like Donovan did.

    Pulisic with an assist from a corner for the first and a secondary assist for the second, the initial shot from his cross being saved before the rebound was banged in.

    Pulisic had a clear breakaway racing down the length of field , passed it off to Rafael Leão who wasted it in the box.

    Weston on for Juve, who just tied it back up 1-1 (Juve not Weston)

    pulisic almost put another sneaky corner in……. He’s playing up today. Musuh just made an excellent tackle on defense too

    and 3-1 Celtic over the German energy drink , wow. Great result if that holds

    3-2, real out one back, diabolical goalkeeping. If that was Turner, bsky would be having a field day

    edit; Milan extremely fortunate to dodge that, ruled no goal

    Man, I got practically all of the results today wrong. I do not understand CL at all at this point.
