US Men's National Team Soccer Thread! (lower division thread)

[Tobias]

Should we talk about all US Internationals in this thread or for example let the Demps and LD10 stuff go in the Sporting thread which has always been the MLS master thread?

I wasn't sure.

oh man, demps stuff was super weird for a bit there.  is it epl thread, is it usmnt thread, is it sporting kc (mls) thread?

i guess there's one less to worry about now

john anthony brooks scored for hertha berlin, and aron johannsson scored for az over the weekend

both are confirmed to be in the roster for the bosnia friendly. if we can cap both of those players, i'm going to be pretty damn excited.

Saw somewhere that those two are "ineligible" until FIFA approves their switches. I'm not entirely sure what that means. Why would they be on this roster if they aren't allowed to play? I'm hoping my confusion means nothing and we tie them both to USMNT. They are both rough ridin' studs. (I had lost all hope for Johannsson until he decided to dick-slap Iceland a few weeks ago.)

brooks is good to go, but johannsson is still waiting on paperwork to be pushed through for his one time switch. JK said that he was inviting him in to get a feel for the squad, but he doesn't think he'll be able to play.

brooks, i feel good about because he turned down the german camp (U-21) to accept the USA call up.

Gotcha. This is what I saw. I thought he meant they both are. Makes sense now.

Yeah, I really think we have JA Brooks. And I feel like there's no turning back now for Aron. Everyone in Iceland hates him now.

[MakeItRain]

Sadly our winning streak will end, 0-0

[scottwildcat]

Would love to win. Probably don't see it happening. MIR predicting 0-0 sounds about right for a game like this.

Well Sporting thread is obvs Kaws because we also never lose and dance a lot.

Champions League thread is So Long Saloon to an 18 year old. Sorry, kid. Only the big boys get in.

All the other bars are individual teams in the Premier League. United are Wabash the elite rooftop emaw bar.

couldn't have said it better myself.

FIFA is stupid putting friendlies right before/after all the major leagues start. Nobody wants to hurt themselves, so the games end up being crap. 0-0 is a great guess
