Shuff264 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 https://www.si.com/soccer/2019/06/05/usmnt-jamaica-loss-gold-cup-friendly-berhalter-holmes-sargent The man of the match for the USA arguably was substitute Duane Holmes, who made his national team debut as a 66th-minute replacement for Roldan. Holmes was born in Georgia but moved to England with his mother as a child. The 24-year-old spent the past season at Derby County, and pulled off some of the best attacking moves of the evening for the sluggish U.S. In the 70th, some nice, tight control from Holmes put him in position to feed Arriola for a dangerous cross. A minute later, Holmes hit a nice cross of his own after adroitly settling a corner kick, service with which Sargent could only redirect a chance wide. Berhalter complimented Sargent's later on-the-turn and on-target shot (the USA’s only one of the night), and of Holmes, the manager said, “Duane performed well. What you see from him is exactly what you saw at Derby County. He has this mobility. He has an aggressiveness. But he also has good technical ability in tight spaces. I thought he performed well tonight.” Those were the U.S. highlights. On an evening with so few, Berhalter obviously took notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Great performance and rave reviews all over twitter. One thing I've seen is that he's been carrying a calf injury for that last 2 months, didn't know about that. Also are the US playing with two hold up strikers or something? Weird to see two forwards pinning back two centre backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Great to see Holmes make his debut, justifies how highly we rate him. Good to see him perform well too, tho that’s gonna boost his rep no end, hope we don’t lose him...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Shame we are losing Mount but surely Holmes is the perfect person to replace him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 You wouldn't think he was on the pitch for less than 30mins based on those highlight reels. He will be a good player for us next season. Hopefully FL can find a few more gems in the lower leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now confirmed in the last 23 for the Gold Cup, he could well be the star of their side! £250k to what value now and who knows in years time. One of the best buys we’ve made in years is Duane.

Carl Sagan Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Richard Keogh played the full 90 minutes in Ireland's qualifier against Gibraltar tonight and wanted a penalty at the death. The Irish won 2-0 and top the group: https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/richard-keogh-helps-republic-ireland-2963920 And Jason Knight started for Ireland U21s in the Toulon Tournament in a 1-0 win over Bahrain that sees them through to the semifinals where they'll play the Brazil U22 side: https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/Derby-county-ace-helps-ireland-2961343 Note different countries sent different age groups to this for some reason.

It's an odd one because it's a U22 competition. Different age groups have entered but have called up older players - Max Lowe for England U20s as an example.
