I think I may have underestimated how good a team Porto is but Stack is starting to get some minutes and it's beginning to look like the stars are aligning for him to get even more minutes. Unfortunately, he will be interrupting that progress in another month for WCQ. I doubt it, but seeing we are so close to qualifying he might be allowed to stay at Porto to solidify his spot. We'll have to see what is going on there in the next month.
Richie Laryea is also a concern, where I criticized the US team for having many players on big clubs (who weren't playing) I hope that same thing doesn't happen to us when our players move to bigger clubs, such as Larin and David. I am learning more and more how important it is to have players playing competitive games vs sitting on the bench for a big club.
Saw an article that had the Portuguese league ranked ahead of France at number 5. True or not, it is still good to see that they are close and we have players in each until we can get more in the Big Four.
