Jon Lewis US U-20 thread

He's good but overrated. There is a reason he couldn't find a team in Europe (he was looking mainly Belgium and Denmark) and also a reason he fell to fourth in the Super Draft
Awesome physical tools. Pathetic finishing, sub-par awareness. He's an upgraded Khiry Shelton.

(I won't mention how Ebobisse fell, and 2 years ago we stretched for Khiry. Nope. NOt going to do it.)
 
If we're throwing out fringe senior team guys, would Emerson Hyndman (20), Rubio Rubin (20) qualify?

2nd overall.... 2ND OVERALL!!!!!
 
Great to see even just a couple minutes of him play. #khiry2RB

I think we all agree he's not a true winger. Finishes poorly from his feet so that's a problem for a Striker.

I have been really impressed with his work ethic. Why not try him as a RB or RWB? He crosses as well as RJ. He's quicker. I know there is more to playing RB than whipping in crosses and getting back, but that's pretty much all RJ does right now.

Maybe he should ask to be moved there to save his career. He isn't getting much time on the field this year as a winger.
 
I find it amusing that you look to me to sing your praises considering I never voiced doubt of your many hypothesis.
Everyone needs a hype man. And you so kindly pointed out how I never fail to identify an opportunity to identify my having posted something first. Since you were keeping up anyway, it made sense for you to get the job.

You couldn't afford my invoices.
 
As previously mentioned, the benefit of JLew being away from NYCFC and not playing in MLS for some time due to the U20 WC (should we qualify) is that he will still count as a GA and his salary will not be charged as part of the budget for 2018.
 
That strating line-up seems to be a little bit of a mixed bag
 
This game was literally one of the dirtiest displays I've ever seen from a team.

For an entire 60 minutes, the piece of shit, mouth breathing, doesn't deserve to live much less procreate ref abides horrendous tackles on our guys. It was fortunate none of our players were seriously injured. Everyone out there put their careers on the line with every second. Well, except Saucedo and Craft, as they will be able to be accountants or whatever with or without an Achilles.

Tab is a moron. But he actually inadvertently did us a big ass favor. Last thing you want is your skilled, tricky winger exposed to a bunch of hatchet men like these shitbird salvadoreans. It really does permeate their football culture even more than most of CONCACAF. "Let's play ugly and try to get a lucky goal, and when and if we go down in the score, let's see how many careers we can end because CONCACAF is run like shit and Gulati is too incompetent to realize he has a big dick to swing and stop all this shit." Actually, no, you're right. They don't think that much. They stop at "let's just see how many careers we can end because we have nothing left to play for, no talent, and no prospects. Fuck everyone who has a chance at a better life than me."

Fuck them. Making me get Calvinistic about soccer. And I hate Calvinism.

Guess it's good that JLew didn't make an appearance. Though, with the next game on Sunday, you have to think Tab will play those that didn't get time recently since everyone may be tired. Though since it's the last competitive game in a while, why not go for the cup?

JLEW HAT TRICK!
