Probably deserved sacking but was also a victim of a new owner who doesn't understand how things work. Yeah it's coaches fault that Pulišić sucks, what a waste of talent.A well-deserved sacking. Chelsea look completely punchless. I'm sure no one is happier than Pulisic, though.
Tuchel got less from everyone, not just Pulisic.Probably deserved sacking but was also a victim of a new owner who doesn't understand how things work. Yeah it's coaches fault that Pulišić sucks, what a waste of talent.
Of course it's Tuchel's fault too. Just imagine, you win Champions league in May of 21, spend over 400m € on new players since and you have this shit of a team. This should be a super team by now with all that spending and being just crowned the best team in the world. New owner comes in, spends huge money (overpays every transfer big time), thinks he knows what he's doing and he doesn't. The biggest proof is that he wanted Ronaldo and argued the whole summer with Tuchel about that.Tuchel got less from everyone, not just Pulisic.
I was surprised myself...but tbh a king or queen in England is more important to the population there than any president here for reasons that veer into the political realm. Just on a macro level though, this isn't an ideal season to have a postponement when the EPL schedule's already condensed over the fall World Cup.Imagine if the president died of old age and they shut the NFL down. Just makes no sense to me.
Yeah, I get it's not an apples to apples comparison. Just seems like a weird thing to call off in this case. It would make more sense to me if the monarch was assassinated or something.I was surprised myself...but tbh a king or queen in England is more important to the population there than any president here for reasons that veer into the political realm.

Apparently the roster for the USMNT friendlies is 85% done already. If Berhalter passes on guys like James Sands, Sam Vines, or Cameron Carter-Vickers so he can play a domestic league piece of shit like Aaron Long, I'm going to lose it.
I also can't say with certainty that Joe Scally is going to be called up in spite of him already being one of the better defenders in the Bundesliga at 19 years old. It's a shame. He's really locking it down for Gladbach, He's definitely gotta be part of the 2026 side if nothing else.
No he isn't, he screws up constantly for NYRB. People on Twitter have posted entire montages of it. He was getting European interest prior to this season but I don't know if that's going to happen now. Meanwhile, Sands put up a respectable effort in a blowout loss to Ajax. Rangers would be stupid to let him go back to NYCFC.Oh how will we ever recover from picking Aaron Long over proven studs like James Sands and Sam Vines? I swear for some USMNT supporters, it's ONLY about where you play. Aaron Long is good enough to get James Sands' minutes at Rangers.
Man.... the Red Bulls are frustrating. It's a shock looking at the standings and seeing them 3rd in the conference in 5th in the league. They really haven't played like it. They can hardly win at home, got shut out twice by NYCFC, don't have an actual striker.
Maybe this will be the season they make some noise in the playoffs considering the regular season has been non sensical and stressful.
Don't get me started on Juventus. DISASTER.
I have never been a Red Bull Out supporter until this transfer window. They completely screwed up their transfers. Fletcher back to the UK, Pasher never played a second and was cut for refusing to play with RB2, and they only signed Duncan and this Brazilian kid who couldn't score in Brazil's lower division for the rest of the season.I feel you. For me, it's another year where ownership has failed us in adding just ONE additional piece to make them a true Cup contender. This year it was a striker. In 2018, another winger so we weren't relying on Muyl come crunch-time. In most of the Henry seasons, a stud CAM so he didn't need to drop back as much to orchestrate. There is also a daunting winter transfer window on the horizon where they might lose Tolkin, Long, Duncan, CCJ, and Morgan.
Well we all know that Red Bull seasons usually end in the most hilariously depressing fashion. They will work hard to get a home playoff game... then lose that game.For the Red Bulls, it’s interesting to see a decent amount of fans I interact with think Struber is mediocre to “ok” as a coach when he’s taken a roster with a lot of difficulties and coached them to a good season.
Before the season a lot of fans thought there wouldn’t be playoffs and now they’re still competing for a home game in the playoffs.
I wonder how surprised Struber has been that they spent money on him and his assistants but haven’t done as much spending on the roster.
I don’t mind not spending but then you need to developing more guys like Tolkien and identifying more under appreciated guys like Morgan.

i also wonder if the team considers Long as disaster depth at DM and possibly wing back since he started as a DM and has been playing a little like a wing back at times this year.This is where the Long haters lose me. If he was the one who f'd up like Mckenzie did in the Nations League final, we would never hear the end of it. I just don't see enough of a difference between guys like Long, Mckenzie, EPB, CCV to want to wish injury upon Long for taking one of their spots. Literally all 4 suck on the ball. Long is the most athletic of the bunch. CCV is small for a CB. They all have pros and cons.
