Yanks Abroad Flavors of the Week: 2020/2021

That was a huge result. Must win. If they'd lost it, I think they would have been doomed.

Note: Fulham's defense is actually quite good. They've conceded fewer goals than Liverpool and only one more than Man United.

The problem with that team is that they just can't score.

 

An excellent GK and a couple solid CB's has made all the difference in the world. 18 goals conceded in the 19 matches since Andersen and Adarabioyo played their first match together.

 

Anyone here has video of Morris' injury?

 

I've seen it in all the teams I've followed closely. A good player who shows up to work is better than a better player who can't stay fit.

 

Gutted for Morris, folks. He was gonna play a significant role in qualifying and had worked so damn hard. Ugh.

 

Has there ever been a transfer for an American as messed up as this Bryan Reynolds one?

Wow. "Italy" and "bureaucratic issues" are synonymous.

 

Here was the assist in Austria yesterday for Taylor Booth. Nice free kick delivery.

I didn't expect it!! An actual Bobby Wood sighting!! Unfortunately Hamburg lost the match 3-2 to some team named Wurzburg. The worst team in Bund 2. Hamburg still with a good chance of promotion, though.

Goal for HSV! Vagnoman heads back into the middle and Wood is waiting to head in 👏🇺🇸

warming up for the reign of terror he and rubio are going to unleash on mls this spring

 

laugh it up, buddy- rsl are going to be an offensive juggernaut.

 

I'm all for Richards leaving Bayern permanently. I dont believe for a second that he's in their long term plans. He can be really good, get minutes and grow.

 

I wouldn't hate another year on loan in the BL for Richards. A full year to show his stuff then a sale, with a buyback clause. Everybody should be happy.

 

I actually think those were two smart moves for a team of RSL's budget. Need a playmaker, though.

 

I just want him playing everyday. Whatever gets that done.

 

For those that didn't watch or follow the pbp thread, Aaronson was pretty amazing today. I might even say fantastic, or even spectacular, or stupendous. He had 2 hockey assists, played a full 90 for the first time since arriving in Salzburg, had like 4 successful progressive backheel passes, created countless dangerous opportunities, and was everywhere the whole time. Wherever the ball was, he was. For 90 minutes. It was crazy. And this was in a big win against number 2 Austria Wien, who they were ahead of by 3 points before the game--basically this was the game they needed to win to pretty much secure the regular season title.

 

EPB and Siebatcheu weren't on the team rosters for the latest matches.

 

im obviously joking for the most part (25 goals combined- MARK IT DOWN!), but i agree. i like both a lot and think they COULD do really well.
and its not like watching american strikers who could feasibly get into the usmnt discussion in mls is super common or anything. ill tune in to watch wood/rubin over portland or orlando (for their strikers) for sure.

 

You have weirdly picked two MLS teams that actually play American strikers, both of whom I'd guess are closer than Rubio Rubin to the USMNT, but I get the general sentiment.
