Will Julian Green play any part in this World Cup?

So far, it's an obvious no. He played some in the run up games before the tournament, and didn't really impress me tbh. But will Jurgen throw him out there at some point or was this just an experience thing having him in the squad? Our options are pretty thin, especially after the Jozy thing. He's listed as a striker, right? Surely he could add something late in a game running at a tired defense.

No
he was brought in for the WC experience and to make sure he doesn't play for Germany. He's not ready for this level yet.
And this is coming from one of the biggest Green fan boi's on this board.
Meh he's a totally different player Jozy is a target strike who can hold the ball while the rest of the team comes up. Green is more of that Robben type winger who can play as a tweener b/w attack and midfield.

I'm sure he plays a vital role in training every day.

It's bullshite
Looking at some of the guys we brought, Jurgen never plans to play some of them. Which gets back to LD.

I'm confused.
In the other thread you said that LD shouldn't have been brought in. Are you trolling just to troll?

Given how every other LW option has played up to this point, I want to see Green start against Belgium.
It's the round of 16. It's time to go for it.
This assumes that Julian has continued to do well in practice.
I understand that no one was overly impressed by Green in his 2 appearances, but he at least brings speed, dribbling, and a willingness to attack.

So start the guy that has had no affect at all in any of the tune ups and group stage matches.
Yep, that makes perfect sense.

I like Green, and I'm glad we took a chance to get him on board. That said, I don't want to see him starting or on the field in any competitive match at this point. If he's forced into it, fine, but I don't think he's ready at this point to be someone to put the pressure on.

Did you think Yedlin was ready?

Forgot about him

Good thing we wasted a spot on him then

He at least showed his capabilities in the South Korea and Mexico friendlies. Every match that Green has played in, he has looked like a kid in a grown man's game.
Look, he definitely has the talent to be a fixture for us in the future, but he is not ready for this stage yet.

It's impossible to tell.
Who here would have believed that Deandre Yedlin would play a large role in 2 of out the 3 games so far? And who here would have believed that Brad Davis would start against Germany?

And he has played at a senior level for Seattle for awhile. It's not a perfect comparison, certainly.

he's played twice. He did look like a kid, but I don't think it's fair to say he had "no impact". He dribbled at people and made our left side something the defense had to account for.
I don't really know that he wouldn't bomb if he played, and I don't know that I would play him if i were JK. I just want us to do SOMETHING ANYTHING to make the attack more dynamic. We will lose if we run out the 4-1-4-1 we played against Germany.

Yedlin is playing the "fresh quick legs" position, wherever that may be on the day. I think he can handle that.

I'll admit I haven't followed Green outside of the usual highlight clips but what makes a 19 yr old like Raheem Sterling able to start for England and Green not contribute at all?
Is Sterling just further along or was England just struggling for depth?

It's the round of 16. "Going for it" doesn't mean starting Julian Green.

Sterling is just further along in his development than Green.
Dude is going to be a beast.
