Yedlin 7 - Pacey right-back was quietly effective. Kaboul 7 - Solid in defence, one remarkable mazy run and shot Kone MOM 8 - Surprise two-goal hero and commanding at the back. Van Aanholt 7 - Bent home the all-important opener, enterprising down the left. Kirchoff 8 - Outstanding in anchor role, especially when it was tense and goalless. M’Vila 7 - Assist for the second, neat in midfield. Cattermole booked 7 - Tireless workrate and crunching tackles, as always. Khazri 8 - Excellent dead-ball delivery from the winger. A fine January signing. Defoe 7 - Alert, sharp, denied a deserved goal by clearance on line. Borini 6 - Not as effective as the rest but plenty of sweat and puff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 DeAndre Yedlin helps Sunderland dodge relegation from Premier League ...“DeAndre … has got very little experience at this level,” Allardyce told the Independent. “He has got a lot of qualities but without that experience, it’s a massive ask to perform at the consistent level that you need to at this stage of the season, under the pressure that we’re all under.” Yedlin is expected to feature prominently for the USMNT in next month's Copa America Centenario, having been named to Jurgen Klinsmann's 40-man preliminary roster. The Yanks' final list will be announced later this month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Wil Trapp: The next evolution of the American holding midfielder ...By the end of the match Trapp had spent as much time in Dempsey’s face as Dempsey had in his. This was not Dempsey using another player to fire his own engines. It was a fire... ...If we have learned anything from Gregg Berhalter’s time in Columbus (and from Trapp’s formative time at Akron, where he played a similar role) it is that Americans are capable of playing the modern style of the game if given ample opportunity and the correct operators. Trapp is unquestionably, for me, the one piece that Berhalter has to have for this to work like he wants. For whatever Berhalter gained from his quiet moments under Bruce Arena, his real crowded hour was at Hammarby, where he developed the base to become MLS’s first truly American-European coaching innovator. ,,, Edited May 12, 2016 by Zip_ME87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Mexico and Honduras are the CONCACAF reps to the 2016 Olympics. What is the purpose of a U23 team when qualifying is complete until the 2020 cycle, and you aren't going??? By 2020, these U23's won't be U23's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Americans on loan: The best and worst through the years Read more at http://www.fourfourtwo.com/us/features/best-worst-usmnt-loans-donovan-dempsey-yedlin-altidore#:Yex2Vz1itb48_A#cKqRMJzLlAQIjSMa.99 THE SEVEN BEST AMERICAN LOANS 1. DeAndre Yedlin to Sunderland There have been some really good loans for American players but this one really stood out for many reasons. First, it showed that Yedlin is Premier League quality. Other successful loans like Landon Donovan at Everton only confirmed what everyone knew -- that he was a good player. This loan really revealed a lot about Yedlin. Second, that he could handle the extreme pressure of a Premier League relegation battle. That is one of the toughest stages for a young player and Yedlin handled it very well. Finally, it might have proved to Klinsmann that Yedlin is ready to take the right back job for the U.S. team, a position proven difficult to fill since Steve Cherundolo’s retirement. So far, Klinsmann had primarily used Yedlin on the wing. His performance at Sunderland perhaps eliminated any doubt about Yedlin’s defensive ability. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thanks for this find @TennZip... Official: New York Red Bulls II sign David Najem ...Speaking of Adam Najem, David's signing hints the younger Najem may be on his way to New York soon. The Akron midfielder, regularly called the best midfielder in college soccer, went abroad in the winter on trials with European clubs looking for a professional contract after turning down a deal from New York. The European excursion ended fruitlessly as Najem has returned to Akron and looks to be playing his senior season at Akron in the fall. Adam is currently playing in the PDL with the Michigan Bucks, but will return to New York to train with the club later in the summer. With David's return and fences apparently mended, a Najem duo between the first and second team could be gold for the Red Bulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense for Yedlin to go somewhere and play regularly. As a long-time Black Cats fan, I was watching young master Yedlin's progress with much interest! When he arrived the concern was whether he could handle the pressure of Premier League forwards, and not gift opponents goals. Clearly, he measured up to that test remarkably. His steady back-line defense was consistently solid by any standard. Now, DeAndre must turn himself into a wide back who -- with pace as strong as any in the league -- is able to threaten opposing defenders in the penalty area. Honestly, his attacking central passes rarely threatened defenses, and he must learn the 'tricks-of-the-trade', if he is to become the world-class footballer we all know he can be. Meanwhile, sign the paper, young man, so I can order that #24 red-and-white stripe shirt! Guy Ellis -- an American private equity funder should be able to afford a couple million pounds. But, with one of the leakiest defenses this season, I hope he also brings in some experienced CFs. Then Sunderland can set trail to be "the Leicester of 17". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
