    US tour starts on Saturday...

    19/07 - Seattle Sounders

    24/07 - Toronto

    27/07 - Chicago Fire



    Poch has had most the team for the best part of two weeks now. It'll be good to see a high-tempo game being played, hopefully attacking too.

    ESPN has the match and I'm sure they'll be showing it over here, like previous years.

    With the World Cup, it feels like a very short Summer footballing-wise.

    Anyone hoping to see anything specific from the upcoming friendlies?

    Wouldn't be expecting much in preseason, I'd imagine it'll be particularly hot too. Soldado & Lamela to gain some confidence. Some kind of structure at the back? Not expecting miracles.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,284 ✭✭✭DubPerryman


    Yeah, I'd like to see Lamela looking comfortable in the team. I know he only played a handful of games last season, but he always seemed a bit awkward or a bit out of place. I'd like to see him settled.

    It'll be interesting to see which young players Poch uses most - will he promote Veljkovic and Pritchard to full-time first teamers? Will Falque, Ceballos and McEvoy be played much?
