Basel_NCFC 7 Posted September 2, 2022 Assuming Sarge makes the USA world cup squad, does anyone know when the squads are submitted? Guess we are going to face at least 6 weeks without him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fr. Chewy Louie 137 Posted September 2, 2022 The Championship season is paused for the world cup (same as the Prem I think), so it shouldn't be an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 5,164 Posted September 2, 2022 The season pauses on Nov 12th and resumes on Dec 10th. I expect players who were involved with the world cup may be given a bit more time but it could depend on how much they played, hopefully the USMNT will be leaving after the group stage.

cambridgeshire canary 6,718 Posted September 2, 2022 Given how hes been would not be too surprised to see him get called up.. Not like Zardes is any better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glory.win or die. 270 Posted September 2, 2022 If called up and the US get to the Sf/final we could miss him for 2 weeks I guess depending when the squad get together pre tournament. World cup I think is between Nov 20-dec 18 Championship pause is Nov 13-dec 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I did wonder if the championship would be paused also? I had thought a team needed to have 2 or 3 players called up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, just complete pause for the division. League 1 and below carry on as normal though. Ridiculous to have it in Qatar for logistical reasons, before you even get into the human right abuses and dodgy bidding process, but there you go. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,820 Posted September 2, 2022 The Championship restarts on the same weekend that the World Cup quarter finals take place, so there is a small overlap. However, Sargent hasn't been called up this calendar year, so unless he hits some seriously blistering form over the next month or two then he may have left it too late.

BroadstairsR 2,166 Posted September 3, 2022 Off the top of my head, it doesn't seem to me that (possibly) Sargent apart, City have any players involved in the world cup finals. At one time we seemed to have a whole host of players on our books, admittedly playing for some of the less fancied countries, who had international commitments. The qualifiers seem to have weeded these teams out. Neither Scotland (McClean, Hanley) nor Finland (Pukki) will be there for a start. Neither will Ireland (Omo, Idah.) Tim Krul might be called upon for the Dutch squad, but are there any others? This cannot be a bad thing. Rest and recuperation being on the cards. The idea of a friendly being arranged is sound. A good thing for the squad, but what about our rivals. Do Watford, for example, lose many? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,221 Posted September 3, 2022 If Sargent can keep up his current form he will be in the squad. He was dropped recently and rightfully so but so far this season we've definitely seen an improved player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bakerkd 2 Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Sargent is still behind Jesus Ferreira, 16 goals and 5 assists in 26 starts in MLS and Jordan Pefok 2 goals in 4 starts for Union Berlin. Both have performed better for USA. I think Josh will make the final 26 but unless he keeps scoring AND does well in September friendlies he will just have great seats for Qatar Edited September 4, 2022 by Bakerkd 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
