As long as you know the chants.
ohhhh, i just noticed this is for the open cup game. lmao I'm just as long as you! ...but seeing how small the stadium is, I assume it doesn't get very bad at all.
Well, we didn't get a clear answer to why James Sands was originally supposed to be out for NC, but I guess it's all academic now.
Is the injury real? Was Sands just faking it to get a break? Was this coordinated by Dome? Does Dome know the future?
glen crooks mentioned parks instead of sands before yesterdays game because there is U23 camp next week, maybe dome meant parks instead of sands?
well at least for sands it was just a training camp, im sure there will be more chances
I couldn't tell who it was at first that was laying there injured. Once I realized it was Sands and not Chanot, I knew it was a real injury and there was legitimate cause for concern.
Dome pushed for him to be included in the U20s. He’s apparently great with our young guys coming through. I think after this weekend, it was obvious that he should have been with the U20s.
Expect Sands to be involved in Olympic qualifying. His next call will most likely be a senior camp though. Berhalter loves him and didn’t understand why Tab left him at home.
In fairness, Tab probably wonders why Berhalter selects some of the players he has a crush on like Wil Trapp.
Sands apparently had one bad camp with Tab and Tab hasn’t looked for him since.
I’m not defending Tab, because Sands has proven himself this season on the field and should have been in Poland, but every manager makes absolutely boneheaded decisions. Berhalter liking Sands is great, not that he didn’t have sway over Tab, but Berhalter should also look in the mirror at some players he’s put on the field.
Hell, Gio was called up for the latest U23 camp which will be the same U23s that attempt to qualify for the Olympics.
I wonder if Sands was supposed to get called into U-23. Dome apparently said something about not having him available for US Open Cup this week (this was prior to his injury). I don't know what that might have been if not a U-23 call up.
For those wondering, if we win on Wednesday, we do not automatically get the winner of the NJRB-NER game. The games for the Round of 16 will be drawn on Thursday. I am not sure exactly how they will do it, but I imagine they will divide the remaining teams into groups of four by geography. If we win, that means in all likelihood getting paired with the winners of NJ-NE, DC-PHI, and one other team.

Do you have insight into Sweat's ankle injury that hasn't been put out anywhere?
