I was lol. I'll take those 3 points on a scenic turf field for our first qualifier. Mick McCarthy summed it up best.
There were literal planes landing in the background.
They had as much lunch offensively as we do. Problem for the Irish.
Treats was left out of the Romanian roster today, so he should be "fresh" for Friday. Left off because he disappointed the manager, supposedly.
this is what I got out of google translating the article:
Mitriţa, out of the lot
Alexandru Mitriţă was not included by Cosmin Contra in today's lot. "In Mitriţa's case it was an internal thing. It's an internal thing. He was not upset, by any means. InStat data and what I saw in the days before the match made me make this decision. I have never been revenge. I accept certain things, but I will never accept that any player, regardless of his name, will come and not give everything on the ground. If he plays well at the club team and will come up with better physical parameters than now, he will play, "Contra argued.

more games with us then. i mean if its fitness then he is not 100% he said it him self.

Really, the whole quote can be boiled down to this.

So.....what's up with Mitrita? He sounds like he's been wronged. I don't think this is good.
(Translation is "Your wickedness doesn't knock me down, makes me stronger")

We need to gird ourselves for the upcoming Gold Cup. Berhalter will announce the final 23-man roster around the end of the month, and it seems likely to include Sean Johnson. It's possible he will fall behind another keeper and not get called up, but that seems well less than 50-50.
The first tune up game is June 5, and the Gold Cup Final is July 7.
Over that period, we have the following games.
- 6/1 at Columbus
- 6/6 vs. Cincy
- 6/29 vs. Philly
- 7/3 vs. Seattle
- 7/7 vs. Portland

Not sure what some of the other international happenings are around that time, but we will also likely be without Matarrita during that stretch as he will likely be on the Ticos Gold Cup roster.
copa america is also going on, so some of the players on those teams missing as well? ( im too lazy to look it up). Also, Euro Qualifying is happening too, so potentially absences for columbus and cincy games.
Fair points. Mata seems likely to be gone for most of the same time frame as Johnson. Callens potentially for Peru in the Copa America. I guess Ofori is an outsider for Ghana in the African Cup of Nations.
Don’t forget Isi, chanot, mitrita (though he pissed off some ppl last time), & tin (he gets a random call here and there).
i dont think Isi goes, libya didnt make the african cup of nations.
Why would they call up Johnson when they could have Horvath and Steffen? Those are the top two guys anyway and both will be European property by then with Steffen off to a CFG loan.
Here is an update on how this will play out.
We’ve been expecting that our June 1 game in Columbus will be Zac Steffen’s farewell, but he might already be in camp (alongside our Johnson).
