I thought strained hammys take at least 4 weeks to heel?

Hopefully sooner than later but I am not holding my breath!

Thought so too but these are world class athletes with trainers and let's not forget access to any drug they want.

3 weeks isn't unrealistic. Knockout stage if were lucky.

It will be tough for him to run at a dead sprint without hesitation because of it which is his job as a striker

Well he's officially out for Portugal which isn't shocking

 

[wildturkey]

Have they even said what the severity of the injury is beyond "strain"?

 

[bksballer89]

Nope

US can now game plan for Portugal knowing this.

Portugal is in a weakened state with losing three players, including their best defender for Sundays game.

Great opportunity. Let's take it.

The chances certainly have improved!

However, I am worried about the humidity and players crapping a lot. US was practicing in what 55-60 degree weather the other day and now they will be playing in was 90 with humidity making it about 100?

Portugal will be more likely to wilt in the heat than the US.

I bet that would keep those Euros from diving all over the field!

It's silly, I know, but that struck my funny bone.
