I should have added: '80's disco hit co-written by Paul Schaffer of David Letterman fame.Really? It's from a song. Google it.
I admit to being easily confused. Most especially by ambiguity which is freakin' everywhere these days, precision being a lost art, apparently (which, my problem with ambiguity, is apropos of nothing whatsoever, but I figured I'd mention it).the sun is usually confusing.
Ah, that explains it. So I guessed right (for once). Pretty funny, that.Weathergirls song.
Hi - Hi! We're your Weather Girls - Ah-huh -
And have we got news for you - You better listen!
Get ready, all you lonely girls
and leave those umbrellas at home. - Alright! -
Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean
God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Ame---------nnnn!
I feel stormy weather / Moving in about to begin
Hear the thunder / Don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's Raining Men! Yeah!

No need to Google it now.Really? It's from a song. Google it.
Fortunately for you and everyone else at any of the parties I DJ-ed, that horrible song never made it onto any of my playlists (despite my having a bit of a pop sweet tooth)...Ah, that explains it. So I guessed right (for once). Pretty funny, that.
Meh. This is like scheduling Lafayette and UMass for early games. What could go wrong with that?USA will play El Salvador and Grenada in the upcoming June international window. Not the ideal World Cup prep, but whatcha gonna do.
Well let's assess the alternatives:Meh. This is like scheduling Lafayette and UMass for early games. What could go wrong with that?
Back to topic... The CONCACAF Nations League draw was announced today. USA will play El Salvador and Grenada in the upcoming June international window. Not the ideal World Cup prep, but whatcha gonna do.
The June window runs for 16 days, May 30 to June 14. The CONCACAF games will be played in the back end of that window. Prior to that, Berhalter plans to schedule two friendlies against WC caliber opposition. Looks like one could be Uruguay. Sports Illustrated is reporting that Uruguay is in "advanced negotiations" to play both USA and Mexico then.
I read that UEFA Nations League is playing in the same June window. So Euro friendlies are hard to come by.Nations League is okay. Gives Berhalter a chance to test out a number of players on the edge of making the WC.
As for Uruguay, I don't understand this friendly at all. Would much prefer a European team. We will be playing two Euro teams, nobody from South America.
Most, if not all of Uruguay's top players play in Europe. Not sure what difference it makes European vs South American team in this regard. Uruguay is a good team with veteran players who can give us a helluva run for our money.Nations League is okay. Gives Berhalter a chance to test out a number of players on the edge of making the WC.

What happened? And will he be healed by the fall?Reyna out for the season with Dortmund.
That sucks. I wonder how he got the tendon damage. Sounds like he got injured in a foul of some sort.Apparently hamstring and tendon damage
An American won’t be forgiven the same way they were.Even the best in the world make these mistakes. Mendy from Chelsea, city's #1 ederson have both made terrible mistakes on the ball in the past couple of weeks in CL play.
i don't know that this is entirely the case anymore. esp with these big clubs, the cheaper guys are seen as expendable parts. hell, even expensive GK's can be cast aside. chelsea made Kepa one of the most expensive GK's ever, and they replaced him with Mendy once the mistakes became persistent. Bernd Leno has been a good GK for Arsenal and he got replaced by Ramsdale. Esp with GK's, the mistakes are very noticeable and hard to forget.An American won’t be forgiven the same way they were.
Perfect example being Manchester United writing off Tim Howard after a mistake in a Champions League game.
We have been spoiled for choice at GK going back at least as far as Meola. This is among the weakest corps that I can remember. It is a big concern (at least for me) as our back four are concerning as well and our GKs can expect to be tested.neither turner or steffen are going to be playing regularly for their clubs, so picking an in-form GK for the WC is going to be hard.
i had a lot of hope for horvath, who was playing in european cup competition, but then he's also gotten buried on the bench at nottingham forest.We have been spoiled for choice at GK going back at least as far as Meola.

i don't think steffen will get loaned out. he's pep's #2 GK for sure, and they'll likely be shopping for a few new pieces this summer in other areas of the pitch...namely haaland and a new MF to replace fernandinho...turner on the other hand, not sure why he decided he wanted to go there. there's no path forward to regular minutes. ramsdale is 23 and could easily be England's #1 by the time the WC starts. maybe he gets some cup minutes next year if they sell Leno on with only a year remaining on his deal, but that would be the same situation as steffen.I am sure hoping both Steffen and Turner get loaned out. If we don't have a 1st choice keeper getting regular minutes somewhere, we are not getting out of the group.
Well if my minor knee surgery goes well on Friday (scoping it to remove cartilage), I should be back on the pitch playing keeper again shortly (haven't been able to run fully for nearly a year due to knee pain) and if I can stay healthy through the fall, I'll be available for the USMNT. And if @mildone can get his back fixed, he'll be available at midfield.I am sure hoping both Steffen and Turner get loaned out. If we don't have a 1st choice keeper getting regular minutes somewhere, we are not getting out of the group.
The expected friendly with Uruguay is now official. The four games in the upcoming international window are:Partial schedule for the USMNT's four games in the June window:
June 1 - Morocco, @Cincinnati
June 5 - TBA (Uruguay???)
June 10 - Grenada, venue TBA
June 14 - @El Salvador
The latter two games are part of the opening round of the 2023 CONCACAF Nations League.

He hasn't been in good form for a long time.John Brooks
He's been crushing it out there. Can't find his way into the Spurs squad and will likely be sold this summer, but definitely worth the look.Cameron Carter Vickers just got named to the Scottish League team of the year. Maybe worth a look.
