Thank you, OWN(yewu)ED! I've been wondering who we have coming through the pipeline at center back and worrying that there were no prospects on...
Agreed. It was such a joy to watch us boss the midfield against an elite team like England. The only time we've ever come close to doing that...

Agreed about Sarge. His holdup play really was excellent. I'd never really thought of him as a back-to-the-goal forward. I wonder if his...
Ream really has been huge for us. Hasn't put a foot wrong the whole tournament, has been dominant in the air, and strong in the tackle. I'm so...
That really was such a superb ball that McKennie played to Dest. Worthy of a Juve midfielder.
Well said! Robinson's depth of feeling and sincerity was so awesome! I'll have to see if I can find that video of him crying inside the locker...
This video moves me. ❤️ https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/z8q0z2/iran_vs_usa_emotions_won/
Yes! Well said, Guinho! I really liked our inventiveness and how dangerous we were in the final third. We created danger in lots of different...
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! You articulated perfectly why I feel so good about this match. With the exception of possibly Germany in the '02...
So great to see McKennie have such a strong game. When he's on top of his game, he really is a force in the midfield. What a beast he was today!...
Thanks for the PBP, Casper! :)
Of course I agree: we looked dismal. But let's remember that our final Pre-WC friendly in 2002 was against... the Richmond Kickers. I can't...
So different from how a young Landon Donovan looked in the 2002 pre-WC friendlies. Donovan was 19 or 20, and had no seasoning against world-class...

Yes! This is without question a high point of US youth development. We've currently got 4 players aged 20 or younger getting playing time and...
Yes, Goff does it every week: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soccer-insider/wp/tag/americans-abroad/?utm_term=.f3a1479c1f30

That's interesting. I wouldn't have thought that the Jupiler League is ranked higher. I just read through the thread in Yanks Abroad that...
Thanks, gunnerfan7! :)
Does anyone know anything about him? He's a 24-year-old center-back who's been starting for Kortrijk in the Belgian Jupiler League this season....
I would add the following two disappointments to the list: 1. John Thorrington. Was on the books of Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen and...
I look forward to reading your post-mortem on the season when you're up for it, Rahbiefowlah! :)
He'll get his chance eventually. I hope that when he finally does, he'll take the bull by the horns and really make the most of it the way...
