Don’t think this is anything more than a rumor but if true it would lock down that back line without a doubt.
Interesting. Rumors were the original teams would have throw backs this year. Galaxy throw back already leaked. Now Chad is asking for these things. I wouldn’t be surprised if we rocked some rainbow wiz style unis this year.
This must be Vermes’ plan for the “Young Money” DPs. We’ve had like 5 incredible SKC2 signings this offseason. Looks like he’s more interested stashing youth there and seeing who pops and then bring them up under the U-22 clause.
I would of put money on Alan getting the armband. Seems like when he played after the Besler bench he got every time. Happy for Jon though.
If you squint you can see a DirtBall in there. 2 years after this one was the tailgate that Puma bought Giordonos and beer for everyone.
Isi-Fontas CB combo with Lindsey and Martins out wide. They’ve been pretty suspect. Tim made a 1v1 save and Chicarito and Kjlesten both shanked sitters.
Brand new 11, Rog m, Dia and a bunch of kids. Tyler Freeman just had one cleared off the line after a hell of a run and cross by Kayden Pierre. No Johnny, Alan, or Gadi today.
As soon as that ball turned over Isi turned to Fontas and pointed out the free runner then picked up the guy with the ball. I think we got a good one.
Back line looked good. Definitely some errors but first game between the two. I expected it to be Isi and Puncec. But from Sam’s article, this is the first year Fontas can actually run without debilitating pain. Don’t know what our best 2 is yet.
Check the weather, 55 and raining for the game, this why I wait till an hour before the game to buy tickets. Will be great to watch at home. Probably get some Minskys.
Geesh. Rewatched the match, Jaylin, Shelton, and Vermes just laid a damn egg. They used a 4 man midfield vs our 3 and Nani was constantly dropping back to pick up possession so they were overrunning us 5 v 3. Shelton wasn’t dropping back to help like we’ve seen in the past and when he did he couldn’t make a damn tackle. We know Daniel doesn’t have that in his game. Once Alan came on it looked a lot better because he was an outlet for that midfield (constantly lumping balls up to Busio vs a 6’3 CB all 1st half SMDH). We need another winger with speed to replace Gerso, no fear at all from opposing fullbacks outside of Johnny. And damnit Pete, Roger could barely move and Martins can barely defend. Sub Felipe and Dia in around the 70th and it’s an easy 3 points.
Vermes really hyped this kid in the preseason. He looked solid from the brief few moments I watched him.
