Didn't hug Corey Burke.
Landon was happy in MLS, much more so than in Europe. And Pele only played in Brazil and had a fantastic international career.
Haji is an unspectacular grind-it-out goal scorer. Nothing wrong with that but he won't score any show-stopper goals.
Egg calls him in because Josh has a knock. How lucky can a coach get?
Now that this thread is close to 250 pages, I would like to summarize it in one sentence. Gio is an excellent player for the us men's national...
What were his other options besides staying at Dortmund? Did he have another choice? He switched to a new agent and this is what his new agent was...
Gio would have been on Dortmond in the quarterfinals if he hadn't decided that it was better to go to Nottingham Forest (and get into a relegation...
I wish Gio could be the soccer equivalent of Patrick Mahomes II - dominate a high-injury sport while staying personally safe. He has that instinct...
One more day for this soap opera. Window closes 2/1/24.
I'm curious to see what his market value turns out to be. He has great offensive skills and he is young, but he is an injury risk, lacks stamina...
Going from Dortmund to Sociedad seems to me like a slight step down. He would probably get more time assuming he plays better defense and does not...
I wonder if they consider paying taxes and voting as "spending time in a country". Hopefully Taty did both of those.
Maybe Claudio's walk into the building was to have an interview to be the new manager? It would solve Gio's anxiety problems with his managers....

This opinion piece on SF came out yesterday. https://www.houseofstrauss.com/p/dont-shoot-the-messenger-when-athletes
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a similarity between Nagbe's play and that of Claudio Reyna (Gio's father)?
The nats possession sequences do not last long. Weakest part of their game.
That crash at Liverpool lighted a fire under the team. Two straight 5-0 wins. Unreal.
He seems to have different soccer DNA than the other players. He is completely team focused. We do not have enough of those players. Maybe the...
But somehow every team he is on becomes better. He must be doing something right. He organizes possession in the midfield. He controls tempo. In...
Nagbe is clearly good enough for the usmnt especially with Tyler Adams injured. Is this another John Brooks scenario? We need someone experienced...
Get citizenship for Reyes.
Please explain.
T&T will be motivated. Having previously knocked the US out of WC18, they will want to knock us out of CA24 as an encore. They were defensive...
