Ya international friendlies get 6 subs. ES used 2 in the 1st half to sure up that backline after the early blow out.
Nice!
You just wonder if a guy like this didn't play college soccer where he would be right now. I mean, he is 24 already. Older than all our guys in Europe. When JK says college soccer is the reason we struggle internationally it's guys like this.
I agree, I'd like that too. One step at a time though. I think the European appetite for American players is growing and that will help MLS. Unfortunately, just a little experience in Europe still does wonders for market value. Boavista bought Cannon for $3M and now want to turn around and sell him for $12M. It's not that Cannon improved that much or that Boavista is a better club, it's that Cannon was undervalued (and Cannon being desperate for Europe).
I admittedly don’t know much about this kid, but Matthew Hoppe scored a hat trick today for Schalke becoming the only American to ever do so in the Bundesliga.
He’s 19 years old and signed with Schalke in June of 2019. It doesn’t look like he’s been involved with any of the US Youth National teams. Schalke is a dumpster fire right now, but adding another teenage striker who’s playing in the Bundesliga to our player pool is nothing to complain about.

I’m seeing reports that Swansea is interested in bringing Jordan Morris over to Wales on a 6 month loan to help them finish their season. Swansea is currently 3rd in the Championship table and fighting for promotion. This makes a lot of sense as I have serious doubts that MLS is going to have a normal season until we COVID under control.
There’s loan move chatter around Aaron Long with 3 Premier League teams interested....one of them being Liverpool.

Aaron Long has been on the radar of English Premier League clubs for two years, but a new team has emerged as a potential destination for the New York Red

It looks like the Bryan Reynolds rumors might finally end in something concrete. It appears he’s headed to Roma.

Sources: American teen Reynolds joining Roma
United States youth international Bryan Reynolds is set to join Serie A side Roma from FC Dallas, sources have told ESPN.

Daryl Dike headed to Barnsley on loan. Barnsley are currently 12th in the Championship.
It also looks likely that Swansea are bringing in Paul Arriola on loan in addition to Jordan Morris. Reports are that the deal isn’t final, but it will get done before the window closes.
I love getting some of our young MLS guys over to Europe on loan until the summer.

I hadn't seen the announcement until my NI mates texted me today:

I got to attend a match at Windsor Park end of 2019 before we moved back, Euro qualifier v Netherlands. I have nothing to compare it to (soccer wise) but hitting the Belfast pubs prior and walking the mile to the stadium on a truly NI night (cool and rainy) was a pretty neat experience.

Juve locked in McKennie permanently today agreeing to pay about $22m to Schalke over the next three years. Honestly, I thought this move was not going to be great for Weston. I had my doubts that he would see the field regularly, but he’s really been a solid, dependable piece of their midfield.
I didn’t think much of the move either but in my opinion he’s been the best American player since the move
This is my biannual post where I ask how the US Mutant Ninja Turtles are doing against their competition: The Foot....
I know the US got him to play in a couple of friendlies in November, but it's nice to have a formal announcement of locking him in for the future.
Not gonna lie, that McKennie, Musah, Adams midfield is going to be fun to watch.
They will probably put Michael Bradley in there to anchor. lol.
