Five Takes On The Five Stripes

1: Josef had his surgery! And he went to the best surgeon on the planet for ACL’s! Thank god they snuck him in. I hate being right all the time but I said he’d have plenty of time to recover. 

2: Covid-19 will have a domino effect on the sport around the globe. Some leagues will suffer more than others and not every club is going to survive. It’s going to affect everyone from player to stadium staff. 

3: Parents, I got nothing but respect for you. How you get through this and keep things positive and upbeat for young ones during all of this I have no idea. I know that shit has to be draining and my hat’s off to you. 

4: it’s very cool to see ATL UTD replaying old games. The San Jose match was 🍌 🍌. It was a crazy turn of events and even came complete with a Josef brace and a Tito patterned outside the box banger. 

5: Soccer is my comfort food. Whenever I’m dealing with something, whatever it is, I turn to the sport to help me get through it or just offer a little reprieve. Now that my comfort food is gone, I’m struggling to find a replacement and I’m struggling with even having a positive distraction right now because I know so many people are suffering big time. What are you guys turning to during this time? Tweet at us @five_takes with #comfortfood 

We talk about the loss of Josef, the affect of Coronavirus, and how the team is going to have to play in order to stay competitive without our key striker.
