Meanwhile in the land of teams that matter, Jozy gets to play Hull tomorrow. Hoping this is his breakout week.
you clearly havent watched them play during the qualifiers. all of them, with the exception of Moreno, were flat out garbage. i'm super happy that he did this. it just isnt worth getting them 3-4 days before leg 1 only to see them ruin the team. but he hasn't discarded them for leg 2.
