I presume he wasn't considered for the one earlier this month? MLS still in season.

The one in Bristol yeah his team can stop him from coming over if they wanted to. November would probably be the next one but would assume the friendly in November is gonna be used for preparation against the Dutch a few days later.

Should have at least four friendlies in the first six months of 2024. Not sure if clubs can prevent their players from going to friendlies but he's one of their best players (joint top goal scorer actually with 5 goals) so don't think they'd stand in his way for next year's friendlies if he was called up.

Ive no idea how good Joe is, but I just ran through some of the other all stars profiles on wiki and they are experienced international players
US, Mexico , Argentina etc

Is there a reason why this guy isnt called up? is he not good enough ? or do we have a guy that isnt being called up becaure he is in the MLS

We cant afford to dismiss players willy nilly!

Are they current internationals or 36 year olds out for a last pay day before retirement? (Genuine question)

Another assist for Gallagher last night, his eighth of the season - the highest at Austin

New Zealand match is the final game of the year. Would be good to see some lads like Gallagher or other non capped players get a run out.

Only for the U21s having two rough games in November would love to see Roughan or Furlong if he breaks into the Hull team play against New Zealand. Should be no need to start your strongest XI. A win against New Zealand ain't gonna save your job. Give some fringe youngsters and a couple of new faces a run out. Last time we played them Mick picked:

....................O'Hara
O'Connor Long Clark Williams
.............Browne Cullen
........Byrne Maguire Brady
...................Parrott
