2019 International Duty

Thanks to the bye. We have 8-10 days from any of these players last match to our first playoff game.

View attachment 10348

That adds another advantage to the bye:

1. One less game required to win Cup.
2. Cannot accumulate a yellow card suspension.
3. Plays the first match vs a team away & on short rest.
4. Players get extra time to return from international play.


Aside from Chanot and maybe Rocha, none of the other guys are guaranteed starters or essential subs. There's a good chance they might not even play. So that gives a little bit of ease that they won't get injured... but apparently injuries happen during warmups..

I just hope the extra few days time we gained with the bye is enough to get Heber and Isi back to fitness. But I fear that both may not be ready in time. hopefully injury report will be good news

Ronald Mcdonarrita did not play today vs Haiti.

I can't seem to find any info on Belize and Rocha. Anyone know if he played?

Mitri scored Romania's second goal today. Kinda funny cause his goal looked like something he'd attempt with Maxi and his finish is classically what we've been seeing from him in the 2nd half of the season.
 
FYI James was slated to go to the U23 camp last year before his injury. This is where he lives now. Still think he’s a CB for them long term.
