It was an El Salvador B- or even C side. 4 experienced guys, 3 guys with only two caps, 5 guys with only one cap, 8 guys with zero caps. And the Guatemalan side?

SoccMan Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 This Antonio guy looks scary just saw him get the winning goal for West Ham against Leeds in injury time. The guy is a beast and scored a great goal . cronaldo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kane is a legend, but he completely changes how dangerous they should be with the way he likes to drop deep and not stretch the line with his (lack thereof) pace and strength.

I still don’t get why England didn’t call him. His consistent finishing and decent decision making is a relatively recent development (Moyes and probably Kevin Nolan deserve some credit.) He could always bully defences (mostly playing on the wing) but you were not sure what you were going to get at the end of it. Add to that the fact that Southgate has gone relatively youthful up front beyond Kane and Mikey has also only been a forward on the reg for a few season. And he has hamstrings made of balsa wood.

I don't get it. They can only call in their domestic players (speaking of Mexico), they can hardly conclude anything from playing those matches. Just for money? Are they trying to sneak in a match without the "puto" chant so they reduce future sanctions? Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted to try to clean up their chant act they would probably make a better case if they could achieve a clean game in Mexico, rather than in the USA.

Mexico friendlies is a huge source of revenue for the USSF each time they play on US soil. Also El Salvador in DC is big too, they sellout all their games there with around 350,000 El Salvadorans living in the DMV area. London has a lot of random friendlies too with all the stadiums there. There is a stadium for whatever size you think you need I have Italy Brazil Italy , Argentina Croatia, USA Colombia and Jamaica Nigeria at of all places the New Den. If I remember correctly Canada played Australia there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAl Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The problem US supporters should have is that you are also helping to line the coffers of another association in your own region.

scullion44 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Would be cruel imo to not give it back to Borjan. Crepeau didn't make any saves that I think Borjan wouldn't make.

frmr Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Can't go wrong with either but it's still Milan's position. Crepeau right around the corner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeelaw Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It's Borjan's. Also Crepeau might be a VAR decision away from a bizarre PK against Mexico. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No stand on his head saves (with the exception of a great save at the end of the Jamaica and Panama games - but saveable) and got saved from a non-called PK in the Mexico game that he caused.

Saves are sexy but not the only part of goalkeeping. He can only save the shots he faces but that save late on vs. Panama was massive and he was dependable in dealing with crosses and his distribution was sound. A good window from him. dyslexic nam, N1ckbr0wn, trc2014 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
