Nice!

I wonder if any other MLS team in the history of the league has had three goalkeepers out with injury at the same time.

that really did seem like a huge win (non-con and all that but whatever)

It was nice to survive on the road without, maybe, our 3 best players starting.

I really want to see 90 minutes of Pulido.

Yeah like none of them will make it but it's still cool. First time up for both of them

The only way Busio won't get selected is if his transfer happens before, if he's still in Kansas City in July, he's getting picked. I think Melia is 50/50. I could see a scenario where he gets selected for the group play matches but replaced in the knockout round. There are 6 keepers on the list, all MLS keepers. They'll cut down to three.

Also worth noting that Pulido got selected for Mexico and Roger got selected for Honduras even though he previously retired from national team play.

Agree on busio. I meant hardly any of that 60 man list will make it. Nobody from nations league is even on it. I don't think melia has a chance.

Btw peter gave an amazing interview (as usual) with soren a few days ago and he was very candid about the process with Busio. He said teams from 5 leagues are pursuing him

Did you see that list of keepers? I don't know how you can see that and not think Melia has a chance. It's
It's not exclusively young guys, nor is it exclusively guys who have been capped. It's like an entirely different keeper pool than what we've seen. Even Guzan, when was the last time he's played? Pre-pandemic, surely.

I'm going to the Canada match. They called up their A squad and on paper they might be better than us. They definitely have the best player in the group, probably in the entire tournament.

I went to the first home Austin FC game a couple of weeks ago. I've never seen so many brand new jerseys in my life. It was too bad that it took them a couple of more home games before they could get a goal. The city is very much behind the team so far. Hopefully they'll get good sooner rather than later.
