Biggest takeaway tonight is the sighting of a reasonable facsimile of the Haji Wright who used to wreck other youth national teams many moons ago....
The modern game seems predicated on having a keeper who is solid in distributing with his feet, and playing calmly out of possession. That said,...
There’s a real lack of leadership within this team. To state the obvious, having Tyler Adams available as well as Pulisic and Weah would help,...
Problem is also that Berhalter seems to prioritize possession over effectiveness. I love a clean sheet as much as anybody else, but when the...

Let’s not overlook the Arsenal role in all this. As I said in the Balogun thread Arteta is a skunk; they are free to do what they want but I...
