    I wasn't literally attempting to think about it.
    My point was that a roster full of duals from Germany and Mexico couldn't do any worse than NOT qualify for a WC.

    A roster of BS posters couldn't do any worse than NOT qualify for a WC. Canada, US VI, and Italy could do no worse than NOT qualify for a WC.

    It's a nonsense fact, signifying nothing.

    You nailed it! Which is why it was a joke to begin with. I don't even agree with the OP saying a roster full of duals would make us "better than we currently are". I poked fun asking what the measuring stick of "better" was. Because obviously just about anyone can not qualify for a WC. Relax bro.

    OK, I didn't get the joke, sorry. I get you now. I'm not laughing, but I get it. Apologies if this was an acrimonious conversation for you.

    No worries. Maybe not as much as of a joke as a flippant comment.

    Interesting that France, who has to deal with all the crap about the team not "looking" French, exports so many players to other countries.

    We colonized the wrong parts of the world, clearly. Whose idea was it to not subjugate Cote D'Ivoire, Senegal, Nigeria and all of the Mediterranean North African states? What is the point of having been a word power if we weren't building an efficient and effective soccer pipeline from former colonies?

    Um...……….I think it's England that's wondering why their strategy didn't work for them. :)

    Considering our dearth at wing and AM, I say rule no one out.

    I may need to find me same camo outfit and head to Germany, if the love Americans so much.

    There is a whole new wave of German-Americans in all positions coming through...……………..Garber's worst nightmare.

    tbh none of those guys will elevate the USNT and guys like Lankford and Costly are nowhere nearing performers at club level yet either. Still have a long ways to go.

    just look at Toljan he's 24 already and the most successful one from that top 10 players article. But he's been in limbo for almost a year now.

    lots of players on that list seem to be there based on their clubs rather than their talent. The list seems to have been made with 1BL Academy players in mind with the exception of Lankford. But him it's because he's already at a higher level. 2 players have already changed clubs in Summer because they werent good enough and others seem only a matter of time before they change too.
