Unlucky placement on that header.

Woah. Straight red to a B&H player for a challenge on Acosta.

I'd bet Morris finds his way on to our WC roster. Acosta looks washed. I like him, but he is just a step slower than he needs to be on and off the ball. Roldan is largely invisible in the midfield so far.

I'm all in on Morris. I used to loathe him but he's worked to improve the parts of his game that were lacking and oh yeah you can't coach that kinda pace either

He's got a unique skill set and would be a terror as a second half sub.

There definitely aren't many guys like him. He puts immense pressure on opposing defenders.

His last several calls have been exactly opposite of what they should have been.

I thought Morris was going to be an odd man out. But seeing him last night was a reminder that he has serious speed and attacking traits that guys like Arriola, Roldan, etc just can't match.

I thought Acosta had a roster spot, but he's less convincing every time he steps on the field since WCQs started.

Berhalter needs to try guys like Sargent/Reyna at the 8. I'm starting to think taking any more than 1 of Arriola, Lletget,Acosta,Roldan would be a huge waste of roster space.

I'm not convinced by Ferreira. He doesn't have great speed, size or technical skills. He seems like a good MLS level player. Nothing more.

I think starting Acosta and Roldan was a huge waste of an opportunity to try players out. Then you bring on Yuiell and Zardes as well.

JoGo gets 5 mins and sparks the only goal. Play the kids in the meaningless games Gregg…we've seen enough Roldan, Zardes and Acosta to last 10 lifetimes.

In my opinion:

1. Morris will hopefully take the spot on the WCQ squad that either Roldan or Zardes were gunning for. Morris is a much better option than either.

2. Acosta is going to be on the WCQ teams and WC team, he just is. We don't have other solid options for that 6 position to back up Tyler Adams. The fact that Yuiell is still getting any minutes with the WC team tells you how badly we need Acosta.

Whatever they do, please stop letting Acosta take the corner kicks. Not sure if they are telling him to kick it short and ****ty, but dude has it down pat.

Some transfer rumors floating this off-season:

Brendan Aaronson being pursued by Leeds, Leipzig, and Milan.
https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/leeds-united-ac-milan-rb-leipzig-chasing-usmnt-ex-union-midfielder-brenden-aaron

Several Man U homer sites are rumoring that they may be pursuing Tyler Adams, but this might be nothing more than scouring Rangnick's old roster at Leipzig and taking a stab in the dark. There's several links but I don't know enough about any of them to think they're reliable so I won't bother posting them here.

Yeah, it could be really good. WBA is sitting 4th in the Championship currently.

Sands to Rangers official. Not sure I love the move but we'll see how it pans out, good for visibility I imagine.
