German powerhouse will take on San Diego pros, two nights after Wrexham AFC upset Manchester United on the same field
San Diego’s summer of soccer continues Thursday night with the fourth international match in six weeks when Germany’s Borussia Dortmund plays the San Diego Loyal at Snapdragon Stadium.The game figures to be the least attended of the four — nothing approaching the near-capacity crowds that watched national teams from Mexico and the United States or Tuesday’s sellout for Manchester United against Wrexham AFC — but should offer the highest level of soccer.
They opened the preseason with a 7-0 win against fifth-division Westfalia Rhynern on July 12. A week later, they struggled to beat fourth-division RW Oberhausen 3-2. On Saturday, before jetting to the States, they needed a pair of goals in the final 10 minutes to salvage a 2-1 victory against another fourth-division side, RW Erfurt.
So expect to see Marco Reus, Emre Can, Mats Hummels, Thorgan Hazard, Nico Schlotterbeck, Julian Brandt, Karim Adeyemi and the rest of the crew that came so agonizingly close to ending Bayern Munich’s 11-year reign as German champions, missing a penalty kick in the season finale and tying Mainz 2-2 when a win would have clinched the title.
It’s been a rough year for the 20-year-old midfielder. He played only twice, both as a substitute in the World Cup last fall, prompting his mother to dreg up decades-old allegations that coach Gregg Berhalter abused his future wife while they were at the University of North Carolina. Berhalter’s contract expired and there was speculation he wouldn’t be re-hired, only he was.
