If I could go back in time the first thing I would do is find a way to get Alphonso Davies family to America before they ended up in Canada.
We should annex Canada solely to get Davies into the USMNT.
 
Just to confirm, there was definitely no noise in the Westfalenstadion for the Dortmund-Bayern match - our UK broadcast featured just the usual echo-tastic player voices and referee's whistles. (The echoes make me wish they weren't playing in such a big building, but rather in a smaller stadium or even on a training pitch so we could hear everything more clearly.)

The fact that they seem to have developed a world class left back *and* a promising striker is rude of them, frankly.
Yeah, the irony of the best player ever developed by MLS is Canadian is pretty brutal. Hopefully it can be used as a sign of MLS being able to develop talent into world class potential, some of whom will in fact, play for the USMNT. I still root for Davies whenever I see him.

I have been trying to root for Schalke due to the Everton and USMNT players in their XI. But these embeds seem to have transmitted the virus of suckitude to Schalke.

Is it bad for me to root against Schalke so that Wagner will have no options except becoming USMNT manager?

He had dreck to work with at Huddersfield, but he’s got some pieces at Schalke and they’re underperforming.

still, on the theory that whoever we get must have failed at a better job, sure.
