    Real Madrid is not in Serie A.

    WHAT?? WHAT!?

    my point was that italian teams might not flow their offense through the wings like i've seen CP play in both the US and in London (when playing i guess). Its just taking some getting used to watching CP in that style of play.

    But lemme go look at a map first. 🙄

  2. Pulisic cookin tonight. I know its the italian league, but has he lost a step or three? he looks so slow in this attack, but i'm not used to watching serie A, maybe its the style?

  3. the way zardes deadened the ball into the ground was badass, the follow up was focused. Nice finish. I'll like Zardes for today.

    GYAAAAT DAMN!

    No one on this team has much of a chance of playing for the A squad save Turner. 

    Also - don't listen to @Braff Zacklin he doesn't know what he's talking about. 

    Miles Robinson would have been a first 11 guy in Qatar had he not gotten injured.

    I also have really started to appreciate Sands. He'll get first team callups for sure. Thats a CDM GERGG bonertime alert.

    Thanks for the heads up on Vasquez and Cowell. 

    I think cowell will be on the A team eventually. The amount of minutes he gets will be debatable. But he's destined for Europe. 

    BV is an injury and time in Germany away from being a 2026 senior team guy. He's the GERGG prototype for striker. Big in the air, holding forward, type player. 

    My opinion is that both will be on the senior team in 2027, but possibly earlier based on development. Cowell needs a technical stint in Europe. He has amazing pace and work rate, but needs more than that to be a winger, esp winning 1v1s

  7. what i didn't say it was a problem, just that we cant squeeze both BV and JF on the pitch at the same time. Mihailovic should still be on the. pitch.

    I would be fucking amazed if Cowell is ever a better player than healthy and in-form CP. Regardless of situation. He has about a third of the technical ability as it stands (and markedly less pace with the ball) and will almost assuredly never close that gap. 

    I think he can be a really nice player for us but we're a ways away from him being on the 2 deep let alone starting for our A team.

    Cowell is 19. Pulisic is 24. Theres not gonna be that much overlap between the two potentially. Puli has 5 years experience on Cowell, and while we did see flashes of the American GOAT when Puli was 19, we now know that Puli was already maxing out near his ceiling. Yeah, he's been able to maintain that level (i guess, nationally, at least), but what we do know is Cowell has not even remotely approached maxing out. This is a young, moldable player who isn't technical in the least, but quick, strong, and shoots like a grown ass man. I'm eager to see what Cowell looks like at 24. He could potentially be an A-teamer with his current trajectory. He needs a move to Eredivisie
