“My favorite sport to watch on TV other than soccer is football,” said Sands. “Despite playing for New York City, I’m a Philadelphia Eagles fan – I’m not going to say anymore than that.”

He probably should have not even said that.

Who the hell does this kid think he is? Ridiculous. Never succeed filling his mind with that garbage.

James Sands not called into the US U17 training camp between July 21 and 29. Hopefully this mean he makes the 18 for Chicago and TFC next week.

July 21 maybe, but it seems highly unlikely he would make a first or at best second appearance on the 30th after missing a week of club training.

With his injury, will he still be selected for the U17 World Cup roster?

Wait when was he injured?

Homegrown Player James Sands is also out of contention to play as he picked up an R ASIS apophysitis injury in training and will be treated by medical staff for the next five weeks.

That sucks. I figured he wouldn't get much playing time at all this year unless we had a game to throw away but that basically puts him out for the year

 

[Gotham Gator]

Well, technically it is 5 weeks beginning 2 weeks ago, so he'd be available at the end of this month, potentially. What's notable is that the release said "he will be treated... for the next five weeks." It did not say he will be out 5 weeks. I think it's possible this is the kind of injury that needs rest and rehab and that timing is hard to know in advance. He could be the next Peeping Lampard, but let's hope he's back quickly.

James Sands played 10 minutes as a substitute.

Captained the team and scored.

Looking forward to his MLS debut against SKC.

 

[LionNYC]

Made his debut for NYCFC tonight.

It's a shame that for home matches, we can't play music for substitutions and that Enter Sandman is forever retired at Yankee Stadium.

 

[Keith Putnam]

After what I saw last night I see no reason not to start Sands over Pirlo or Lopez. Shame he's absent for several matches of our run-in.

He finally makes his debut for us and now he has to go back to the U-17s. We could really use him right now

He's a Man City fan. They can't have him.

I recently discovered his full name is James Hoban Sands.

Hoban. That’s some middle name. (According to Wikipedia.)
