    I am sure that it exists but I have no idea how to find it. But Pulisic is pretty dang good at it. i thought he should have drawn 2 today. The one they reviewed and decided not to call looked penalty to me. Guy stepped on his instep.

    I agree. I believe that Willian was off by that point. I wonder who Frank would have had taken it.

    I thought I saw CP grab the ball while they were reviewing it.

    I saw that too. Kind of had a look saying I keep getting these and I’m going to start taking my share of them.

    To reply to the who else might take it question made me think of back when some keepers took ok’d and even free kicks. Added suspense in case they missed and we’re way out of goal.

    Shaq had a secondary assist. The move to right midfield looks to be paying dividends.
    Sabbi scored a goal.
    Pulisic did his thing.
    Jedi Robinson, along with Pulisic, continue to have strongest post lockdown form.

    Shaq and Tenerife are hitting form at the right time, they look like they'll latch on to a playoff spot

    Holmes's Derby are 3 points out.
    Shaq's Tenerife are 1 point away.
    Nova's Frosinone are still in the play-off places.

    Novakovich's contribution is to be tall and look threatening enough to distract the rival defenders.

    I'm watching a little of the Newcastle v. WestHam and I don't doubt Weston could do just as well as Saint-Maximin whom they just praised for his contribution at Newcastle. I think Steve Bruce would be the right guy to put some order into Weston's game.

    Speaking of Pulisic and PKs, do we have anyone on the Nats who's good at PKs now? I kind of feel like we haven't since had a go-to guy since Donovan. Dempsey was a little sketchy. I was thinking maybe Sargent, but I remembered that he missed that one versus Mexico. So, Lampard, do us a favor and start getting Pulisic some experience scoring from the spot.

    Leicester City reportedly considering Jedi as a replacement for Chilwell should the latter leave.

    An LB at a UCL-leve,l EPL club would be great. Luckily, Gregg took the opportunity to cap-tie him :rolleyes:

    Who is Jedi? If it’s Dest I think that guy has very big ambitions. If someone bigger than LC comes sniffing I think he would take the biggest offer.

    Altidore has been pretty good with PK’s and even converted one against Chelsea for Sunderland. :cool: We’ll see what future brings with young guys. I like Willian at Chelsea with PK’s. He is a cool customer.

    Wait, Robinson is, in fact, cap-tied, right? Lotta jokes about it here, but not sure if he is or not based on his what, 8 caps? Gotta think that he is, but you never know with Egg, he's no Lovitz.

    Robinson is not cap tied. Neither is CCV, or Weah. Weah and CCV would have to file a one time switch to change. Robinson is free to do whatever he wants.

    It is too bad we haven't had any cap tying games against a cupcake like Cuba recently. Or that we couldn't have possibly played the Gold Cup without the secret weapon off the bench that is Lovitz.

    Outside Sarachan, basically every YNT and NT coach has ignored Antonee.

    Wow, that is awful. Not super worried because I can't imagine England being interested with their riches of talent these days, but it's not completely off the table. If he moves up to the PL and plays well, surely they would at least have the conversation with a 22-23 year old left back.

    Just another pelt on the wall for the "fire Egg" argument.

    ARob has only talked about the USA. But things can change and LBs are always needed. If he is playing in the EPL or Serie A next year, he might start thinking about things. This isn't like Dest, who played and started on every YNT team he could have. Robinson was ignored by Ramos and all the rest. He has been given one half opportunity with Gregg.

    I do think he has been sold on going to the Olympics with the USA. But those are now cancelled.

    It truly is crazy he is not cap tied and Lovitz played as much as he did last year. Gregg brough Chase Gasper to the camps with Cuba.

    For all the rumors of Antonee Robinson going to top clubs, from all I've seen of him, he looks to me like nothing extraordinary.

    Sure he's better than Lovitz, but that's a low bar.
