Salku will be coming on for Bakenga.
USA Squad Time – Injuries to Torres, I call up Wood. Cherendolo believes Wood deserves calling up now too, and it’s a consensus that Wood is one of the 3 or 4 best strikers Americans have. I drop Juan Agudelo. I call up Freddy Adu. I pull off McCarthy for Acuna. Chandler still injured I trade Diskerud for MC/R Michael Stephens, 26 years old.
I decide to move Jiri Papuga to Cambridge for 1st team play. As a reminder Stoke is our rival. I begin countering. They score 48 seconds in on a long shot from massive range. Paramio nets a card. We allow no more goals in the half. 1st sub in the 64 – Gromstad in for Mbemba. Next sub is Lansbury for Cole. 3rd sub is Nijland in for Maas, and I swap his spot with Wilshere’s. They score in the 79th when a ball bounces around my box for about five or six seconds. They power a 3rd goal in the 90th minute. We lose 0-3 on the road against our rival.
I decline a job offer from Fulham. If I turn down Arsenal, I’m turning down everyone. Hughes just got his first camp and goal for Scotland.
