Shelton is officially out the next two weeks. He's in the u23 US squad set to take on Columbia for Olympic qualifying.
International Duty 2016
- Thread starter Midas Mulligan
- Start date
Always a maybe with him, but I'd like to think the coaches have circled the international dates knowing that Mix would be out - so they could have played Lampard at 90% last night/last week and risk reinjuring his calf or wait another week and go with a fully (?) healed Lamps.
Funny thing is you'd think getting a national team call up would be great for someones career however this may just cost him his starting position with us.
Lampard plays with Poku looks amazing and we dominate and score willingly. Are you happy or pissed?
Honestly I couldn't care less about u23 usmnt wins and losses when compared to NYCFC wins and losses.
I think Shelton cost himself that.
Hopefully his decision-making (or more accurately his willingness to actually make decisions when he has the ball) will improve.
Will he be squaring off against Matarrita?
Yup, if Khiry is the best the u23s have, that's sad for the national team pool.
If NYCFC wins, I wouldn't care if it was Lord Kwame serving long balls to Javier Calle to cross for Nemec to finish. Winning cures everything.
I would keep Lampard out this week as next week we don't play. That'd give him three more weeks before our next match for rest and training.
