Something I'm wondering is which of Pijnaker or Adam's plays at the higher level? It seems like LoI is semi pro but is that the case of USL? I do think Pijnaker had a mostly good game, definitely shows potential but I don't really know much about Adams. Would the two make a good centre paring when Boxall calls it quits I wonder?

I think Piney said both M Boxall (35 in August) & Smith (33 in a few days) want to try make the 2026 WC. Boxall though older, may have the better chance, playing in the MLS with games only once a week, and in summer - so likely less soft tissue niggles??

Pijanker (24) has a handy left foot, and likes to do a nice cross field switch if he sees it's on. He's also played with Libby down that left side for a number of years now. But to me he seems to have 1-2 errors in most games. Needs to cut them out to go to a higher club level.

Adams (26) we know squat about him really. But he's been on the fringes of the MLS a few times. He's been in 2 AWs camps now, so the coaching staff will know a bit about him. If they keep picking him, they must see something that puts him ahead of say a Nikko Boxall. We also will get a good look at Surman at the U20 WC.

Edit - pen takers. Wood, Singh then I don't know who.
Singh takes a fantastic dead ball. A pen is basically a dead ball situation, and I can see Sarpreet mixing it up, making it hard for keepers to analyse him. Waine bad pen in an ALM game after him & Piscopo had their little squabble.
