Now why would Liverpool do this? Should be some good training for Long if it materializes.

 

I think they are short on defenders.  Odds are its a loan with a buy option.

    To be fair to Lalas, almost all of the Mexican fans at the game live in the United States and some are Americans.  It's almost impossible to overstate the insecurity of the average Mexican soccer fan

No transfer fee means:

1) Signing Bonus
2) Higher Wages

PERFECT TIMING!

What a great 4-5 weeks for this kid. Seems like a great buy low Ajax investment.

Except the Ajax depth chart upfront for him sucks as of today, but hey I am biased.

Jozy should get a "Farewell" call-up against Grenada or someone like that at NYRB arena so that he can score a goal in front of his hometown friends & family and then hobble off into the sunset with "Former grand slam champion once again knocked out in the first round" Sloane Stephens so that they can have babies who hopefully have better fitness and focus than their parents.

I hope Mueller starts (and does awesome so he gets a transfer to the Bundesliega where he will be mistaken for a native Deutschlander because of his name)). Any other preferences for our starting '9'?

Apparently there is also "Transfer speculation" involved. W... T... F...??
 

Altidore will sit out for USA as transfer deadlines loom

4ab52bdc7e4abdceaba4474c70dc54ab

Toronto FC striker Jozy Altidore will not play Sunday for the United States against Trinidad & Tobago, US coach Gregg Berhalter said Saturday, as European transfer deadlines approach.

Berhalter said that Altidore had a minor muscle strain but also cited interest from multiple clubs and Monday transfer deadlines in Europe for benching the most experienced player in camp with 115 caps.

"With the transfer window looming and the game being tomorrow, it's a chance we didn't want to take with Jozy, so he will not be participating," Berhalter said.

 

"We've gotten calls about a ton of players. Jozy is another focus of transfer speculation. I don't think it's my place to go into details of that. I think that's a place for his club and for Jozy. But there have been a number of clubs interested in Jozy."

Altidore downplayed the chances of his departing the Major League Soccer squad in a Twitter posting Saturday.

"Don't believe everything you read," he tweeted. "The devil is working overtime."

Altidore, 31, has scored 58 goals in 123 MLS appearances for Toronto since joining the Canadian club in 2015.

Toronto FC has made three trips to the MLS Cup final, winning in 2017, and five playoff appearances in his six seasons, but was ousted in the first round in 2020.

MLS clubs and players are locked in a money dispute that jeopardizes the planned April start to the 2021 campaign, with the league threatening a lockout if no deal is struck by Thursday.

I like Jozy.  I think with our youngsters he could thrive.  But he just can’t stay healthy.  I’ve never gotten the shit some US fans throw at him.   Not saying anyone here is, but just in general.

1) He can't stay healthy.
2) He has probably had at least 25 USMNT matches where it looked like he was walking/jogging instead of running and was gassed at the 55' mark.
3) He is handed a starting position whenever he wants it.
4) See #1

Start at #1 and stop when you get to #5.

...or stop after 10 years, whichever comes first.

If you get tired of going through the reasons, then perhaps you'll understand how everyone else feels.

We agree on # 1

This is where I am as well. Jozy doesn't bother me, and he's had a decent career. Half of which he has been misused by shitty coaches and formations throwing him as a lone striker. Yet Jozy gets the blame when when no one else showed a glimer of hope for more than a couple of months over the past decade. I mean Wondo got 35 caps over a 5 year period between '11-'16. Landon just shuts everything down for a couple of years and gets less crap than Jozy. Aron became a poor man's Jozy in less than a years time. Jozy is a product of all our failure's over the past decade and still takes the blame for it. 

I agree with @Napoleon.

I don't care if a player takes time off or stays in the MLS or whatevs.  What does bother me is laziness on the field.  He straight up half-assed it through many of the US games that I watched.  He also has/had the habit of ducking on 50/50 balls in the air.  

Yes, he was misused, played in some shitty circumstances, and got hurt at unfortunate times, but my issue is with effort.

Richards will transfer to Hoffenheim.  Chance to play under his old coach.

 

 

Lewis is on the board. First national team score for the speedster.

TNT is gonna give up some goals today, friends.

t&t keeper way late coming out on the goal

with the european explosion this batch has to fuck and go hard

but for their sake the january camp friendlies are now shop window for europe

Another one. 2-0 US inside of 10 minutes.

TNT hasn't played in over a year and it shows. This gon' be like shooting fish in a barrel.

at least 4 FC Dallas products on the team.

speak of the devil.  one of them puts it in the back of the net. Jesus scores!

But can he hit a curveball?

Nipple puts the U.S. up, 3-0, in the 21st minute.

TNT's backline is terribad, but I'm loving how quick and decisive the U.S. attack is. Very fluid.

It helps that they're hardly being marked, but still ...

2 Nipples!

 Can we have a superfluous papilla for the hat trick, please?

the best sign of the night is the total lack of interest in this fixture from surl nats fans
Yup. 2021.

Wheeeeeee!

And that was a nice strike by Lewis!

I can safely say that this Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 squad is NOT good. 

They are not cohesive. 
They are not in shape.
And they are not skilled.

This is not pretty, but I am enjoying the goals. Why not?

They need 8 people for that guy’s stretcher.

Dike* just screams 

All-American Tight End!!

Shitty PK, but I doubt that there was any contact between the boot and the head, but it was a dangerous high kick. 

The former baseball player-turned-keeper looked like a MLB shortstop on that PK. 

Yay team!
 

*EDIT: Dike is listed at 6’1” in Wikipedia, so he has either grown since that entry or everyone else is lying about their height. 
 

I thought that he was 6’4”.

He tries my patience and his presence on the pitch -- indeed, in the stadium -- irks me.

This was my come back around game. Put the TV outside and grilled some burgers. Neighbor asked if I was watching THE GAME, and  walked over for responsibly distanced beers.  Best part was my 7 year old asking to stay outside to watch until the end before bath and bed. 

I watched and enjoyed it, but of the Nats playing, how many have a shot at minutes in a WCQ or WQ match?   Long and Arriola 

While I just enjoy rooting for the USMNT, it’s hard to get super excited about our B/C team, vs a bad T&T side.   Add into that the rise of all our A listers playing well in Europe and Covid stripping us for a chance to see them, outside of those 2 friendlies last year.  
 

That being said, it was enjoyable to watch a team play on the front foot and score a touchdown.   Our B team MLSers wouldn’t have done that in years past and now they’ve done it in back to back matches.  Progress.

Maybe Zimmerman who started his MLS career there?
