Great - thanks for the all the insight, @marianelah and @wixson7 ! I'll plan to sign up for the USSF Insider program and set a calendar reminder...
Here's our group stage schedule: [MEDIA] Does anyone know how far in advance you can book hotels in cities like Seattle? I'd like to plan to...
Yeah, Convey has the record from his 2005/06 season (he was great that year). Shout out to Eddie Lewis, who had 4 goals and 10 assists for...
Sarge is coming for him. :-) Despite that, that would be a cool achievement. I'd still like to see Haji playing up top, but glad to see he's...
Just checked in on this thread for the first time in years and I'm happy to see Akale still playing and doing well in the USL lower leagues. Also...
Great point. And by contrast, Bruce Arena was running out Darlington Nagbe next to Bradley in 2017 in central midfield in a 4-4-2. Nagbe was a...
Hmm, I loved Fabian, but not sure he starts ahead of an in-form Sergiño Dest. It would be a pretty even battle for sure, and amazing depth to...
Fab's career fizzled out sooner than it should have (last cap for USMNT at age 29, last club appearance at 32). But I feel like he should garner...
I'm with @Clint Eastwood here. The talent gap in the 1988-1994 generation has been well reported and talked about a lot on here. It's real - that...
Here's my October 2023 take: GK: - Matt Turner: likely a lock starter. - Zack Steffen: I think he's underrated by the fan base, despite WCQ...
Hope Mix has one more playing stop in his future. I loved watching him play with the USMNT back in the day. Tricky player who played with a lot of...
I'm a bit surprised not to see more posts about Bradley's retirement news for a guy who earned 151 caps (3rd most in program history). I think his...
Absolute screamer of a goal this weekend from Joe Gyau. Here is the clip (33 seconds in): [MEDIA] That is one of the best goals from a YA I've...
So cool to see this kid make the bench for Barcelona. I haven't been tracking him closely so this seems like it came out of left field. Were you...
Amazing to see this guy work his way back to a first time appearance in a respectable league. I'm rooting for him. I thought he showed a lot of...
I agree that the roster selection was disappointing and felt wasteful in certain areas. That said, it's clear that the coaching staff's top two...
His underlying motives are obvious, and he's in the right. So I'm not bothered by that. It was unequivocally the wrong decision to leave Landon...
I was just thinking about doing another one of these as I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep last night, so this thread was well-timed to...
Agreed ^ . Donovan's comments have been completely misinterpreted by the USMNT Twitter community. He wasn't criticizing all dual nationals we've...
What an impressive career turnaround Boyd has had the past few years. His career looked near a dead end in 2019 after an unimpressive stint at...
Is that actually supported statistically? Obviously he registered zero goals playing mostly as a wing back in 2022-23. But looking at his career...
Fair points about Juventus playing with more attacking wingbacks. I suppose Alphonso Davies is a good template -- he's a guy who plays LB/LWB for...
Why is he limited? He has great technique, is an intelligent player who makes quick decisions, he's pacey and athletic, and he has a high work...
I would hope that part of Weah's calculus for choosing a club is to find a club where he can play in an attacking role. If Juventus is targeting...
Great thread. As long as we don't call up Brian McBride as an overage selection at striker, I'm good (I'm still bitter about that, given how good...
