If the conspiracy theories were true, we should expect the other teams to open Gregg a path for the final. After all, isn't SUM/MLS/USSF all the same entity, according to some?
Great, thanks for putting that idea in people's heads, now that's exactly what will happen if the Crew beat NYRB.....
Donovan was a role player at the 2002 WC roughly 3 months past his 20th birthday. He played out wide or as a second forward. In LD's 22nd game for the USMNT that May he got his 4th goal and assist. CP is about the same age now and has 9 goals and 7 assists in in his 21 games. The idea that LD was "organizing an entire attack" at that point in way CP will never be able to seems a bit silly. It was later in LD's career that came to look for passes more than running into space. CP has always been taking defenders on but there is video of him as a 9 year old having good vision and awareness of his teammates. The idea he lost that is also sillly. He has many assists in the last two years through the center of the field where he has picked Brunn Larsen, Batsouyi, Dempsey, etc.
When Donovan went pro he was stuck in the reserves for Leverkusen. Then went and showed well in a league well below the current 2Bund in quality.
So someone posted a rumor on reddit that USSF approached Wenger in some capacity and linked the below article that I cannot read. https://parisunited.fr/nos-informations/arsene-wenger-convoite-le-psg-accelere/
...and the obverse of that is anyone can take logical conclusions based on fact based evidence and make them sound like conspiracy theories.
If you invent insane scenarios and then attribute them to people, you can make anyone you'd like look crazy.
I can't either, I used Google Translate. I just never saw any USMNT-related names, nor "États-Unis" anywhere.
