Future, Current & Former Zips Representing USA 2016

[Zip_ME87]

TennZip posted this in another thread, but with the upcoming U20, U23, and USMNT matches, I thought this topic deserved its own thread.

 

Congrats to Emmanuel Sabbi who was recently called up to U20 MNT.

Indeed, quite an honor for Emmanuel.  I am looking forward to seeing Emmanuel and his friend and Chicago Magic teammate...Jesus Perez work their magic along with 9 other zips next fall.   I have not looked to see where we will able to watch the Sunday game online.  Travis Clark tweeted that the u-20 game will be streamed live on Sunday.

 

.@dallascup announces that games will be streamed live again, including the U.S. U20 MNT vs. Monterrey on Sunday.

[TennZip]

2 items.....Travis Clark posted on his twitter....that you can see Emmanuel Sabbi and his under 20 teammates by going to dallascup.com

 

.@dallascup announces all three U.S. U20 MNT games will be streamed on http://dallascup.com .

 

2nd - congrats to Wil Trapp and Dillon Serna

J.R. Eskilson tweeted that Emmanuel Sabbi scored for the u-20 team today.   Well done, future zip.  

 

  tweet from Eskilson:

Emmanuel Sabbi with the opener for the U.S. Sabbi punched in a corner kick, but Fulham answers back immediately. 1-1 18’

I have not seen a lineup yet for today's under 20 game...(2nd game against Fulham)

 

here is a writeup from the other team's webiste on how Emmanuel Sabbi scorred:

The US, though, went in front in the 17th minute when a corner was only partially cleared and a striker fired home.

 

looks like Emmanuel played the last 20 minutes against Monterrey in the first game.

 

Lineups:
USA: 1-Jonathan Klinnsman; 2-Aaron Herrera, 4-Miles Robinson, 15-Andrew Lombard, 3-Marcello Borges (13-John Nelson, 83); 7-Brooks Lennon (11-Josh Perez, 82), 8-Eryk Williamson, 6-Danny Acosta, 17-Amir Bashti (18-Jackson Yueill, 71); 19-Sebastian Elney (10-Emmanuel Sabbi, 70), 20-Jeremy Ebobisse
Substitutions Not Used: 12-JT Marcinkowski, 14-Auston Trusty, 23-Matt Olosunde

I just posted the lineup with numbers above....so it looks like John Nelson from Medina is #13 and is right next to Emmanuel in the front row.

Looks like Emmanuel right now is one of the 6 young men in the running for the top drawer soccer 18 and under soccer player of the year.

    As a zip fan, I am very glad that two members of the Chicago Magic team (Jesus Perez and Emmanuel Sabbi) will be continuing to build on their teamwork and success as Akron Zips in the fall.

U.S. Debate: The DeAndre Yedlin dilemma

 

After Friday's game in Guatemala City, Klinsmann will have to decide whether to keep Yedlin and John Brooks with the senior team or have them join the U-23s, who will face Colombia on their second game the same day as the national team hosts Guatemala in Columbus. That decision, Klinsmann said, will come after the results of the first legs are known and he consults with his coaching staff.

"Anything is possible," he said, "to be honest."

[TennZip]

in today's 3rd and final game, it looks like Emmanuel was subbed in at the 60 minute mark

 

   tweet from baby nats abroad:

60' Subs - Sabbi on for Saucedo, Yueill on for Acosta.

 

  I did not get home from work and start watching until the 67th minute.   They had Emmanuel playing the middle of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1 position.   I saw Emmanuel make one good tackle which resulted in a takeaway and could hear someone yell "great effort, Sabbi.".   2.5 minutes Into Stoppage time with the US leading 3-2, Emmanuel had a good run with the ball up the field...but he was 1 on 4....so he was very unselfish and did not try to score and just tried to use up clock.  Baby nats abroad tweeted that he was clearly fouled and the German team took the ball and went up and scored shortly before time ran out.   Emmanuel might have received a yellow card when he was trying to steal the ball while I was watching (camera was very far away and video was terrible).   I did see him make 2 unselfish passes.

 

  here is what baby nats abroad tweeted:

It ends 3-3 after a horrendous offisides call and then a no-call after Sabbi was clearly fouled. TSG then took it up and equalized.

 

    in the 3 games, Emmanuel played 20 minutes, 90 minutes and 30 minutes plus stoppage time.....so over 140 minutes out of a possible 270 and change

many of the other forwards have already played in college...Elney from Maryland and Ebobisse from Duke started in the first game.   The little I saw today....showed a player who was willing to pass and willing to play defense.   I did not get to see Emmanuel much with the ball on the move....but I am very much looking forward to this young man and the other outstanding Akron recruits in the fall.
