Speaking of 99'ers, some Taitague highlights today. #11 Sargent, Weah, Carleton, LLanez, Adams, Taitague would be a hell of a front 6.
Nice stat on Nick: He's now won 6 penalties since the start of last season, easily the most on Schalke's team over that span.
Yeah, they shut out like 7 out of their last 10 opponents before our game. Their youth system is just loaded right now. (Won the U20 WC as well)
CCV anchored the middle of a 3 man back line in a big win against Leeds today, and apparently played well. Looks like a very successful loan.
What their youths have done this year is incredibly impressive, they'll still manage to fuck up this crop of talent.
shaq moore made his professional debut last thursday starting and playing the full 90 for levante in their copa del rey win he also made his la liga debut this past weekend coming on as a sub as levante tied eibar 2-2
First look at the new cycle of U17's in the nike friendlies against England in about 15 minutes. Gianluca Busio and George Bello out of SKC and ATLUTD are the big names to watch. https://www.ussoccer.com/us-under17...ke-friendlies/20171129-u17mnt-v-england#tab-1
Busio picked off a pass deep in their zone and got brought down in the box, no call. Couldn't tell if it was a clean tackle or not.
US U17 lost 1-0 to England, 5-1 to Netherlands and tied Brazil 1-1 in Nike Friendlies. US destroyed Nike Friendlies last cycle. This cycle hasn't played together as much without the benefit of the residency program, so lack some cohesion. Still think the talent is down this cycle at this point. Top 5 in no order are probably Bello, Busio, Las, Reyna, Scally. Reyna was out injured. Team is pretty strong in the back, but the midfield and attack talent is pretty sketchy. Really didn't create much in these 3 games.
Agreed. As you said Reyna was out, but the passing and possession in the midfield didn't look nearly as good to me.
Keaton Parks got a contract extension through 2022...with a 40million Euro release clause. They really seem to like this guy.
i’m all in on keaton. he wears his first name on the back of his jersey. if i knew nothing else about him, that’d be enough.
There was no Moses Nyeman either and he's considered a big time prospect. He's an '03 from DC United's academy.
Sporting traded Saad Abdul-Sallam to NYC. So unless they add someone that would make Jaylin Lindsey the #2 RB behind old ass Zusi. Should see a lot of minutes this year.
just gonna go ahead a post this here now. we should put little goheels10 on this list. he's 1 1/2 years old and all he does is run around the house dribbling whatever he can. golf balls, soccer balls, hacky sacks, etc. has been doing so for a few months. just this past week he will put the ball down. take a few steps back, get a running start and boot the fuck out of the ball.... like he's taking a free kick. #proudpapamoments
Translated posts from Benefica's forum, first bit from B game, second few from top team Big game today, the best in the field" "Great physique, game vision and ability to pass. Appears very well in finishing zones. It's in the pipeline to get into the main team." "Still in the last game was for me the most enlightened and intelligent player in the field. In addition it seems to have a very easy shot and eats lines with and without ball very quickly. I did not know him when I was playing at Varzim, but it was certainly a pleasant surprise. I think it's too good for even the most distracted person in the world not to notice him." "He seems to be already at a level above his colleagues in team B." Posts after Keaton's sub appearance today: "Like. Play simple and head up." "You could not see much, but you can see the calmness and the assertiveness in the passes." "A lot of serenity in his game, in the few minutes that he had right in Tondela. You have earned points in your favor."
regarding the USMNT Youth Summit http://www.americansoccernow.com/articles/thoughts-on-the-u-s-youth-summit
He wasn't a regular starter with the U17's(still played a lot) but he was also a year younger than most of the team. He always seemed like a good passer and a pretty intelligent player, but I haven't seen enough of him to make any real judgement. Some people say he's right up there behind KDLF with Llanez as one of our best 01 prospects. I assume if he's close to signing at 16 he has a European passport and thus can go over immediately, which is only a good thing.
The U.S. Youth National Teams have gathered for one massive camp to open 2017. The U.S. U-16, U-17, U-18, U-19 and U-20 Youth National Teams have joined together for the first ever U.S. Soccer Men’s YNT Summit Camp, which runs from Jan. 2-11 in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. A total of 153 players have joined the camp that will focus on “integration between players, coaches and staff from the five oldest Youth National Teams”. “I am looking forward to building on the success our Youth National Teams had over the last two cycles (2014-2015 and 2016-2017),” Ramos said. “This first ever Men’s YNT Summit Camp provides all of our teams the opportunity to team build and to continue the development of our style of play in one location together.” Here’s a full look at the rosters for the camp: Spoiler U-20 GOALKEEPERS (4): Eric Lopez (LA Galaxy; Los Angeles, Calif.), George Marks (North Carolina FC; Raleigh, N.C.), Trey Muse (Indiana University; Tukwila, Wash.), Brady Scott (FC Köln/GER; Petaluma, Calif.)

NBC Sports - ProSoccerTalk: Report: German-American Bayern Munich product agrees to switch to U.S. http://soccer.nbcsports.com/2018/01...ayern-munich-product-agrees-to-switch-to-u-s/
Looked up how he's doing this year- looks like he's a big contributor for Bayern II in the 4 bundesliga. 4 goals and 4 assists as an attacking mid in 19 games.
All aspects of his distribution are so impressive. He might be the most gifted passer, prospect or regular, we have right now. Reportedly had a hand in all 3 goals today.
Goal for Sargent 3 minutes after coming on as a substitute. Now came on at half and picked up a point in both of his first 2 games.
