US Nations League

The men are back in action tonight vs Grenada (TNT at 5 PT). Weah just got hurt so he’s not there. Pepi and Miles Robinson back. Zendejas has made the switch. However the biggest stories; Gio is back in the fold as the circus is still going on, and from the Twitter-verse. Folarin Balogun (who is hedging on where he’s going to play), declined to play for the U21 English due to an ‘injury’, but spotted in Orlando to check things out. He grew up w/Musah in the Arsenal Academy, and currently is tearing up Ligue 1 w/17 goals in 27 matches.

 

Managed to catch 35 min, so can’t comment on Dike’s or Zendajas performance, but Pepi looks to have his confidence back (3 goals in the 2 games), nice run from a good thru ball from Westin and strong armed the defender and nice chip over the Goalie. The El Salvador GK did make 2 good saves to keep him off the scoreboard again. Thought Taylor Booth looked very lively off the bench, and it appears Balogun is a real possibility to play for us.

 

The match was a win, a clean sheet and otherwise fairly pedestrian. I'll take it though (you know, as opposed to Concacaf scenes of days gone by...). And the news on Adams is not good. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65102892
