................................maybe.

But anyway, Dortmund versus Frankfurt going on right now.

Mathis Albert, unfortunately, not in the squad for Dortmund.

But you know who is on the bench in this game? Timothy Chandler for Frankfurt.

I don't think he's actually gotten into a match this season. I bet he does get a "thanks for the memories" appearance by the end of the year, which will add another American to the Bundesliga tally for the season.

A little bit of a meaningless game for Dortmund. Locked into 2nd place. Its a shame they can't get Albert into the squad. Important game for Frankfurt as they fight for European competition. Fighting with Freiburg for the Conference League spot.

 

He did that at New York City.

 

Am I right about this?

Andrija Novokovich scored the winning goal as Reggiana beat Sampdoria to save them from relegation????

Edit: I'm wrong. They were still relegated. But he did score the winning goal today.

 

By 'playing level', I'm referring to league.

 

The theme for the day is "blasts from the past," apparently.

I mean… I knew Berhalter would make the roster after the Gold Cup, but I didn’t want to accept it. Now though ….

 

Berhalter at least has something interesting to offer the team. I’d gladly take Terry two of him on the roster if it meant there’d be no Roldan.

 

"Aidan Morris plays like 2 players at times'

Boro 0 - 0 Southampton 72'

 

I heard that on the broadcast, too. During a 3-minute period where I could swear they said his name 15 times.

 

When it comes to end of season fatigue. It's important to remember that even Chris Richards will potentially have a much longer break between their last league game and the first World Cup game than they had in 2022. I'm sure Poch will take fatigue into account when he selects his teams for the friendlies.

 

Gladbach lose 3-1, but none other than Gio Reyna scored the consolation goal.

 

By the way, still no Banks on the field for Augsburg in that game.

Leverkusen with a really damaging loss to Stuttgart today.
They lost 3-1 with Tillman coming off the bench.

Cool news as Cole Campbell came off the bench for Hoffenheim as they beat Bremen 1-0.

Stuttgart and Hoffenheim now both jump over Leverkusen as they fight for the 4th Champions League spot. Leverkusen is 6th now.

 

Hio has been playing consistently and, if we believe WS, consistently well.

 

I think with Banks is a matter of not overworking a teenager.

 

I'd love to see Berhalter as back-up CAM for the US. Against top teams, he'd still have a lot to offer in the attack without the risk of getting defensively exposed.

 

Morris(CM in 3421) and Bro suffer a setback in a 0-0 draw at home to Southampton whose keeper won MOTM. Even if Bro fail to go up, hopefully, Morris gets a move to the Prem.

There had been rumours of ManU interest before the knee injury. But Adams performances haven't recovered to the level that characterized his best period in the Prem.

 

That’s commitment. You’re like the Japanese soldier running around those islands in the 70s.

 

What’s crazy is he’s likely to make it and Gio is very borderline. Who would have guessed that last World Cup.

 

Gio(CM in 3511) lives! We are so going to win the WC!

Perhaps they should have played him more this year? Alternately he's the healthiest in a while?
