Anyone watching Omar vs Alvarado?
Bedoya with a goal today, seems to be playing better now in the attacking mid role.
Snowed in with chicken soup, but HOURS OF SOCCER btw, Fox Sports 1&2, NBC SN, BeIN, Univision Deportes and DVR.
Loving life!
Stupid local news pre-empting the game on NBC!!!
‘Well Phil, I’m standing out in the snow right now and it’s snowing all around me! Back to you Phil’
I thought he was on the youth team…has he signed a pro contract?
Christian Pulasic on the bench for Dortmund?
He is!!! And it’s on fox two!
(Stay calm, stay calm… But snow fever’s got me!!)
haha I’m sure US fans won’t over react……
Pulisic on the bench for Dortmund. Let’s hope he slowly but surely works his way in.
Great pass from Borini there. Strong confident finish there from Van A. 1-1 HT
SUNDERLAND……L……O…….L……
Sunderland have faced a few top teams in recent weeks. Kinda figured Big Sam might give Yedlin a go against a “weaker” team in Bournemouth. But nope. Sunderland down 1-0 14′ in…..
sa if Yedlin will make a difference LOL
I didn’t intend to imply that lol but I see how it looks like I did now. I just figured he’s got a better shot at playing against poor teams than against the Citys of the league. He got called in for the Iceland/Canada games yea?
Your obsession with Sunderland….L….O…..L
Your obsession with my perceived obsession….
L…………………..O………………..L…………………….
