  1. Not sure where we draw the line but former US U20 Jonathan Suarez scored his first goal for Cimmarrones in the Ascenso Mx in a 1-0 victory over Celaya.

  2. Chandler played LB for Frankfurt Saturday. The match announcer said that with this latest assist he has had a goal and 4 assists in his last 5 games. Not bad for a defender.

  3. Don’t know if anyone has seen Julian Green lately, but I watched some of the last 2 games. He is very tidy on the ball, maintains possession well, and passes very well. But he doesn’t get on the ball enough. Don’t know if he’s just not aggressive or what, but he seems to wait on the game to come his way. I like him, but was left wanting more out of him.

    • Couldn’t find anything online confirming injury. He tweeted “Can’t do this on my own #godsplan” on Jan. 20 read into that whatever you’d like.
