Please don't get injured.  Please.

You know what, we've all been saying he needs a USMNT call up. It's bad timing, but we have depth at this point. And for as much as the guy has done for this team, we should be happy for him for getting the call up again finally because it probably means a ton to him.

It's really the one position we don't have a great replacement for.  Can't replace the vision and leadership.

 

I know it's great for Sacha, but I'm a bigger fan of this team so I'm never crazy about these guys getting called up unless they're playing poorly.  Then I think it sometimes gives them confidence and they come back better for it.

Needed to happen. Totally blanking on who slots in though? Feeling this is the week where we find out how deep in Marsh's doghouse Veron is.

He's definitely earned it. Now I want to see him shine wearing the USMNT jersey.

12-minute sub appearance on Tuesday with the game already wrapped up. Completes 9 out of 10 passes, commits a turnover for T&T's consolation goal, never gets called up again.

Davis for Sacha, Adams/Dax alongside Felipe?


If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

IIRC, the last two times Sacha didn't start, it was Felipe who went up with Davis staying back.

I just hope that those who've been complaining about Sacha's lack of USMNT call-ups

don't start complaining about his being called up!


We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Congrats to Sacha!  I hope he shows well, because the national team desperately needs a player with his skillset.

Honestly I have full confidence in any combo of Felipe, Davis, and Dax at d mid, so whoever feels more confident up at attacking mid.

I liked Davis and Adams together in the CCL game.  Obviously, a tougher opponent this time, but if Dax isn't ready, it's a solid option.

Other option would be starting Damari just behind BWP. Yesterday when he came on he still played very deep underneath BWP, it almost didn't look all that much different than the usual lineup just with Kljestan out wide on the left.

 

Only question is whether Damari is anywhere near 90 minute fitness. Marsch hasn't seemed to think so recently.

 

Oh and congrats to Sasha and all
