catching up
By: timmyg | July 26th, 2009So Bobby Zamora is staying, Peter Crouch isn’t coming, Peterborough almost win after being down 3-0, and the reserves squeak by Aldershot.
Been a busy 24-plus hours! Where to start?
Well, according to the News of the World, Hodgson said Zamora rejected terms with Hull. Whether that’s before or after he scored a brace against Peterborough is unclear.
Speaking of Peterborough, a 3-0 lead quickly evaporated as time expired but thankfully Fulham wasn’t humiliated like Newcastle. Roy, as always, sums up the match superbly:
“I’m not too bothered about results in pre-season matches quite frankly. I’m worried about the performances and as I said I thought we played very well.“
Then today SkySports reports that Pompey have accepted an offer for Crouch. But then ‘Arry says he’s unaware of that. I doubt that.
Nonetheless Crouch going to Spurs doesn’t surprise me because the move, like most of Tottenham’s dealings, doesn’t make any sense. It just raises more questions than answers. Can he play with Robbie Keane? Will Defore now be a supersub? Will Bent and Pavlyucehnko fart around in the reserves? Why isn’t Spurs spending the 10 million on a defender, something they need?
Sorry to jump back to Friday, but EJ’s lone goal was enough for the reserves, including newbie Riise and more familiar faces, to win 1-0 over the Rising Phoenix. After today’s shocking display by the USMNT Development Squad, I expect a call up for EJ’s services up front soon.
I’m going to miss the reserves match on Tuesday and the Europa League match on Thursday as my new job (Americorps) requires a four day orientation in Philadelphia. Have a good week!

Exactly why do you expect the poor performance from our “C” squad will benefit EJ joining the full national team? Unless you believe in your heart of hearts that Bob Bradley will choose his “C” squad for Azteca. Then I would agree with you.
Eddie playing well against crappy Australian clubs and lower league English sides does not justify a U.S. call up just yet. Let’s just wait and see if he makes Fulham’s squad first and go from there. I still say there is a chance he gets loaned out again.

I meant it more that would theoretically EJ be called into A squad, not THE squad, sometime soon.
Think what you may, but I don’t see any reason why not. Is playing well against crappy Australian clubs or lower league English sides worse than what most of the Gold Cup Roster did against MLS? I think not.
