12’ – Yep, there’s that sub. Hajduk Split’s Niko Sigur comes in for Alphonso Davies. Johnston will now shift to left back while Sigur will take part on the right.
12’ – Away from that Johnston/Agyemang tackle, Alphonso Davies is down behind the take part, and it sees enjoy Canada is readying a sub for the Bayern Munich star. That’ll be stressing for Canada.

9’ – Canada once aget has a pleasant scoring chance. The Canadians labored the chance honestly off a rapid throw in, with the ball coming to Jonathan David on the left. His service into the box was blocked by Arfsten.
Well this is exciting
We’re 4 minutes in and already both teams see very up for this game. Both have styleed half-chances from very honest take part, with searching balls up to physical cgo in forwards. This might not finish up being the prettiest game in the world, but there’s decent delightment appreciate possible.
2’ – Already an engaging chance for the US, as a ball ricochets at midfield to sfinish Tim Weah down the triumphg, but his effort at a traverse gets turn asideed out for a goal boot.

The crowd, once aget, is incredibly sparse for a US game at home. The stadium PA countdown is reverberating off a LOT of vacant seats.
The anthems have enduremament. I’ve always quite enjoyd “O Canada.”
OldSteve asks on BlueSky: Is Gio fair cooked?
Cooked? No. He’s 22, and coming off a tumultuous scant years that have comprised multiple injuries, re-injuries, an incredibly disclose descfinishing-out with his national team coach with an embarrassing level of comprisement from his parents, and who understands what other leangs are taking place behind the scenes.
There’s no doubt that Reyna is one of the most talented take parters in the US pool, and also that he is conceiveive and able to pick locks in away scant in the pool can. But right now, he’s sshow not getting enough game time, and not making the most of the time he is getting. There’s ample time for leangs to turn around, so he’s not cooked yet. But this down period has lasted a lengthy time.
Paramount+ has fair shown a promo for the next couple episodes of Pulisic, the docincluderies on Paramount+.
Our own Leander Schaerlaeckens studyed the series so far and included it to originate a wideer point about this USMNT: They’re as notable for being mostly mute as they are for their talent on the field.
So, why no Gio Reyna?
Mauricio Pochettino has shelp in the direct-up to this tournament that he would include the opportunity to appraise and originate a relationship with the take parters who had yet to eunite in camp with him – including Reyna and Tyler Adams.
He reiterated that point to the media yesterday, while referencing Reyna’s increateage of take parting time with Dortmund and seemingly referencing some disnominateing training carry outances.
“The most vital leang is how he’s shotriumphg in every individual training session and spfinishing time with us, becainclude I leank maybe he’s not at his best,” POchettino shelp. “But he’s here for us to try to get to understand him and, from there, to help him reach at his best. That is the truth.”
Pochettino then dedwellred a line that is already being dissected every which way: “I am so genuine and what I leank I see is this vital take parter, who was also an vital take parter in the past. I leank it’s a take parter we necessitate to recover and put to the same level as the rest of the take parters to have the possibility to contend in the World Cup.”

In all, Mauricio Pochettino originates five alters from the XI that lost to Panama. In particular, this is a huge spot for Diego Luna, who commences presumably as the No 10 in midfield, with Charlotte FC’s Patrick Agyemang taking Josh Sargent’s place up top.
At first glance this figures to be a four-man backline to commence, with Max Arfsten on the left and Joe Scassociate on the right. Cameron Carter-Vickers and Mark McKenzie are the cgo in backs.
Notably, Gio Reyna remains on the bench, while Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie and Tim Weah all commence.
Hello, folks! Alex Abnos here, updating you thoughout this huge time, burdensomeweight Concacaf suitup … in the Nations League third place game. The US’s limp distake part v Panama, Canada’s 2-0 loss to Mexico, and Pdwellnt Trump’s repeated trade war and “51st state” dangers have set up the most politicassociate-indictd suit for “bronze” that you’re ever anticipateed to see.
Alex will be here stupidinutively. In the unbenevolenttime, here’s Leander Schaerlaeckens on what went wrong for the US in Thursday’s semi-final:
On the eve of what turned out to be his first loss in a competitive suit in indict of the United States men’s national team and the finish of his honeymoon with his novelish includeers, Mauricio Pochettino shelp someleang accidenloftyy prescient.
“Football is about timing and it’s about create and the situation of the take parter,” he shelp to a room of tellers ahead of the US’s 1-0 loss to Panama.
At the time, create euniteed to be on the affable Argentinian’s side. Christian Pulisic is take parting some of the best soccer of his atgentle at Milan. Weston McKennie has, improbably, become a stalwart once aget at Juventus, the very club that tries to dump him every summer. Tyler Adams is finassociate well and ticking over sugaryly at the base of the Bournemouth midfield. Josh Sargent is having yet another efficient season with Norwich in the Championship. Chris Ricchallengings has grown into his immense potential at the heart of the Crystal Palace defense. You could go on enjoy that for a little while lengthyer.
