His knack for getting involved in the attack (12 total assists) earned him All-MAC First Team honors in both seasons. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 Unfortunate that Qatar is the destination, but really excited to watch the Blue & Gold represent 2 countries in the World Cup. Black Friday is especially going to be a blast with USA vs. England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look up the map for Roldan's billboard in Pico -- the Whittier area of E. L.A. Ends up it's under a mile from my aunt and uncle's house in Santa Fe Springs. Some great football and Mexican food in that hood! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeAndre has been Facetiming with the baby whenever he can. His grandfather, Ira Yedlin, and uncle, Dylan Yedlin, are also traveling to Qatar. Yedlin’s maternal grandparents were hugely influential in his upbringing, as his father was in prison and his mother was young when she had him. Now, it is Yedlin helping the younger generation. … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/soccer/article-richie-laryea-canada-fifa-world-cup/ Despite being thousands of miles away from his loved ones, last Sunday’s selection to the Canadian men’s World Cup squad was still very much a family affair for Richie Laryea. While the fullback was in camp in Qatar when the final 26-man roster was announced, his father was outside Toronto’s BMO Field, underneath a billboard announcing his son’s selection, for a TSN interview. Meanwhile his wife Melanie and son were busy filming a TikTok reaction video to commemorate the moment, with three-year-old Elijah – wearing an Alphonso Davies jersey – screaming “Daddddeeeee” as TSN host Lindsay Hamilton announced his father’s name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/college-coaches-reflect-on-world-cup-alums_aid51542 My comment- this article fails to mention that Akron's Richie Laryea will start for Canada from the article about DeA For college scouts, it was pretty clear that DeAndre Yedlin was in the wrong position. The Seattle product was a center midfielder throughout his youth career. And although his talent was clear to see, a central role didn’t maximize his athletic gifts. Embick was an assistant coach for Akron at the time when a US youth national team scout told him that Yedlin had a high ceiling if he switched to right back. As a senior in high school, Yedlin dabbled in that position. When Akron brought him in, it did so on the premise that he would play off the right. And it worked. The coaching staff designed a system in which Yedlin could scamper forward with defensive cover. He tallied 12 assists across two seasons before signing with the Sounders as the club’s first ever homegrown player. Though he is in the US squad mostly to provide cover, the right back is the only senior US player to have appeared at a World Cup before. That experience could be invaluable. “He’s a tremendous personality,” Embick said. “ He worked really hard. And picked up things quickly.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
