It was a fun game. Watching Reyna play with a big club and seeing Brewster year it up in the second half was cool. Also, pitch issues aside, seeing Touchdown Jesus host a soccer was neat.

It would not be a good thing for MLS to develop a rep for asking too much for their players.

NYRB have their own interests; not US soccer. If a prem club wants Aaron Long badly enough, they'll find NY's price. It would be good for his development if he can get across the pond though.

The touch and finish on a poor ball in stand out immediately, but he just reads the play before it happens.
As the ball gets passed back, he turns on a dime and makes his run and as a result would have been in free on the keep with a decent pass.
Having watched him for a year and a half or so, that's the thing that always stands out to me when I watch him play, and it's the kind of thing I see from the majority of our younger players.

There are times when MLS clubs overvalue their talent; this was not one of those times.

He needs to make the jump so hopefully West Ham puts up the funds. He looked really good during the GC. Athletic and had really good distribution. I hope we get a chance to see Brooks and him play together soon.

We've had attacking left backs before but never one that you could rely on defensively, post DMB.

Wtf ever happened to Aron Johansson? That was a once a young dude who showed some serious potential at one point. Klinnsman didn't like him and his time passed? Injuries?

He's up in Sweden trying to get his career back together.
He had some pretty bad injury luck, seemed like he could never stay healthy. Couldn't develop enough to break through and get any time when he was healthy.oh no said:

Yeah. He was with Sargent last year at Werder Bremen but never was healthy.
You can have all the talent in the world but if you can't stay on the pitch....

Yep, about 3 years of health issues, serious hip issue and other nagging injuries, really killed his career.
