I'm so glad the league has moved past the "buy over the hill European guys to come be really expensive furniture before retiring" phase. Now they're *sending* stars to the big leagues. Miggy Almiron is working out pretty well at Newcastle and elite South American talent now view MLS as a very legitimate springboard to Europe. Good stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,147 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Mexico drew against Honduras. Gonna be a big oof from me, dawg. Tata's seat is going to start warming up here soon, especially if they crash at the Gold Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,147 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Bayern Munich is really serious about signing Justin Che from FC Dallas. He played in Germany earlier this year on a loan for Bayern's reserve side and pulled major first team minutes.. Yet another fast rising American prospect looking to go overseas to develop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,147 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 No Gold Cup roster out yet. Hope we bring Busio so we can cap tie him. Italy is starting to show interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomstick 1,315 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Decently favorable draw, especially early on, with our qualifying draw. That finish, though, is tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That finish, though, is tough. Fingers crossed we get to October without McKennie rolling his ankle in a pasture, as @AUDub alluded to. Otherwise, agreed, that should be a lot of points early. Maybe we're in a position where those March fixtures are mostly for bragging rights. Edited June 16, 2021 by McLoofus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,147 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Mexico is eating a sanction because of the behavior of their fans. Seems FIFA has had enough of the "PUTO!" chant. They'll play their first 2 home WCQ matches in an empty stadium as a result. If fans return and the chant still happens, FIFA may very well dock points. But FIFA is being extremely hypocrital here. After all these qualifiers are for a World Cup Final in QATAR, one of the most homophobic countries on Earth.

AUDub 11,147 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Preliminary Gold Cup roster finally released. As expected it's MLS heavy but that's to be expected. Still a smattering of Europe in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,147 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 So regarding Mexico if FIFA calls Mexico out on the Puto chant again it will be a three point penalty in the Octagonal. Would be pretty funny if Mexico fans choose to die on that hill and it costs them a spot in the World Cup Final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this punishment is stemming from chants during pre Olympic qualifier, not the most recent Nations League issues against CRC and USA. Those are being investigated now. My guess is FIFA will make them play more matches without fans due to the NL issues and then dock points going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO "PUTO!" is really just a pretense to find anything to crack down on them for. Mexican FA has let their fans freely exhibit their hooliganism long enough. Time to force their hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,147 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Gold Cup 23 man roster is out. GGG is very much using the Cup to experiment. Right call. Just wish we'd have brought Cowell to cap tie him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,398 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Feels like an old school roster strategy. Play d and bomb the ball forward … hope dike can wrecking ball the concacaf squads. Hope that hoppe can play as a winger … may give him more options in bundesliga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
