This whole thing feels like the Indy mayor going rogue. I would be shocked if it gets done unless Eli Lilly ponies up $700M or something. MLS...
Turner's just better than Horvath so the real question is whether Turner can get enough reps in practice and the two friendlies to be ready for...
BS isn't over Couva.
The cycle is simple: lead up to a game = "form is everything!" actual game where class is clearly more important than club form the majority of...
What has happened to this thread? There's an absurd amount of projecting on something that we don't know either WHAT was actually said or even...
Nah, MLS covers more than USL right now, and much more population. They are moving their MLSNP (D3) clubs to nearby cities, and I would be pretty...
What? I didn't think it was possible for you to know less about something than MLS, but apparently LigaMX is it.
How did you define the year the player broke out? Pulisic - 2018? Already killed it at Dortmund and for the USMNT Tim Ream - 2015? Random year in...
He didn't. He looked good against Grenada and St. Kitts. I thought he was poor even when with B teams -- the narrative then was "just get him with...
Reyna was born in 2002. Pepi was born in 2003; maybe he's not good enough. Slonina is a 2004, but he's a keeper. 2005s are 19; 2006s are 18. We...
Why was the communication ineffective with Tyler? He played great and didn't get hurt. Afterwards, he said it was the right decision. Seemed like...
But what about his club play warrants it? What about his play has changed or improved since his prior play? Or are we simply holding América on...
I mean, Adam posts this about every three weeks, so it's more about his impatience overall. There's been a bit of a momentary pause for a variety...
Tyler wouldn't do that. Tyler would go out and destroy everyone on the field to prove his fitness level. He'd play really well, like he did in...
With the new U22 initiative and rising MLS salaries, I don't know that's entirely true. Both Taty and Lucho Acosta would fill roles for us, and...
He was killing it with América when he repeatedly sucked for us. He was benched on a B team Gold Cup squad that went out in the semis. Why would...
Sure ... but... This. The downside of a keeper being unready is just so very massive that you almost never see it. I could see him getting time...
For a team like Barcelona to play a young keeper for any real amount of time, they are going to have to be really special. Data from before the...
What is US Soccer supposed to do about the Copa America, Nations League or the Gold Cup, tournaments where they do not control ticketing at all?...
Just irreplaceable. It's not to say we can't have a good Copa, but there's simply no one that brings what he brings.
Nations League format and schedule are out, and the US is once again exempt from the group stage. We'll get a group stage #2 team in November for...
The Opta and coefficient TEAM rankings have fundamentally the same basis, though exactly how they do it differs a bit, I am sure. But both are...
I actually think Pulisic's service for the US has improved vastly over the last two years. He's still not as good as Reyna, but I think people...
I imagine USL will get a number of types of players. 1. Local players. 2. Players who want to go to Europe at 18 at all costs. 3. Players who...
They are building a $100M worth of facilities and they are run by one of the best developmental organizations out there ... but sure, the key...
