Away - 02/08 Emelec

[Midas Mulligan]

They do have a Peruvian international who has started 7/8 of their WCQ and all of their Copa America games in Christian Ramos, so they are ahead of if we are deciding the game based on caps for Peru.

Quinonez has gotten a lot of time in WCQs for Ecuador.

From a quick glance, de Jesus looks like he might be a key attacker for them. He played with Arouca in Liga NOS last year (for 500 minutes, anyway). Arouca is kind of a dumpy club. He also had a Tony Taylor-like stint with Monterrey a while back. (okay, so I say that and it doesn't look like he's actually played yet this year in the two games I found stats for. He did score 13 for them in 2012.)

Nvm it didn't. I just screwed up

That's also what Dortmund said last Christmas when Pulisic was brought into regular 1st team training. I feel comfortable saying that the statements are simply meant to lessen pressure on the player and expectations from the fans.

It's the safe and proper way to go about this. But I also feel comfortable in saying that make no mistake, if he has a decent showing, he'll be with the first team.

Dammit Dan. I was ready for some ball kicking. Now I'm just sitting on my hands like an idiot. This is a gosh darned travesty of justice.

With apologies to players and fans of what I'm sure is a club with a proud and noble history, but every time I see we're playing Emelec it sounds like some sort of constipation medicine.

I saw on twitter that Brillant has been training on his own and Villa had ice on his knee yesterday.

I saw that too - DV left practice early to ice. Hopefully it's just training soreness. And he just posted one of his "It's game day!" posts on twitter, which may suggest that he is fine and playing (but may also be promotion obligation).
