yes he has, it just isn't big enough news to make the news cycle. its known you just kinda keep your distance. one hell of a attacking midfielder though and SKC puts up with it because they need him.

New kits released. Underwhelming.

They'll never do it because it's poor marketing strategy, but I wish they'd just go back to the Waldos with the blue shorts.

I agree the Waldos are the best. Although these kits just scream Klinsmann, German understatement at it's finest.
Although I never complain about a reason for them to put a picture of Alex Morgan out.
Timmy coming back to MLS with the Rapids.

Rant - not sure nike knows what theyre doing anymore and i typically like nike's design and appearal ... For starters, Lets bring out a black jersey to be used during copa america which is taking place during the summer ... Makes perfect sense ... And secondly im not sure the last time someone from nike looked at an american flag but there are stars and stripes and in red, white and blue. Last yrs womans jerseys were plain white with black trim and highlight yellow/green accents ... This yr we have baby blue with a small amount of red trim ... Come'on nike!
I kinda like the new kit. Anything to keep us out of the waldos. Let's leave the 90's in the 90's.
The US has 2 more World Cup qualifiers coming up both against Guatemala. First, the US will be in Guatemala on Friday night (March 25) with the second match on Tuesday (March 29) in Columbus. Here's the roster Klinsmann has called in:

I'm on my phone and feeling lazy so no link, but Pulisic was supposed to join the Senior Yanks for the upcoming matches but didn't make the trip back to the States due to illness. It sounds like the door is open for him to join the team for the second match against Guatemala in Columbus if his health permits.
saw this, bet they want to cap tie him as soon as possible. Croatia is just his passport, but as long as it is still an option, people will speculate. Plus Dortmound wouldn't release him for U-23 duty.
If you're looking for a way to burn the 2 hours before the Cyclones tip tomorrow, the U23 match in Colombia starts at 4 central on FS1. Then after the Cyclones advance, the senior team's match in Guatemala begins at 9 on beIN sports. And before somebody complains about the match being on beIN sports (which always seems to happen), remember that the Guatemalan Federation gets to sell the broadcast rights for their home matches. US Soccer doesn't make that decision.
I don't want to think about that basketball game anymore.
The lineup for the U.S. vs Guatemala:
Dempsey-Wood
Bedoya-Mix-Bradley-Yedlin
Castillo-Orozco-Gonzalez-Cameron
Howard
