Let's be real. Johnson needs to go in for Pulisic. In 2018, I fully expect Pulisic to have won the starting role, but in the immediate future, he...
Stock up: Zardes, Brooks, the Brooks/Cameron pairing, Wood, Bedoya, Guzan Still a key part of this team, although at an age where we seriously...
And yet Nagbe remains stapled to your bench
I had considered this. But have Brooks and Besler ever played together? Don't they both like to play LCB?
After watching him against Ecuador, I just can't see Beckerman being anything but a disaster against Argentina. I honestly don't know much about...
I know the OP didn't select a full 23, but I am amused by the selection of a defend and counter team that didn't include the best defender we've...
So here is a random data point. Our 2002 WC team had seven players in the 23-man roster who were under 26.5 years old (roughly the same number on...
The point I'm making is that it's unreasonable to ask that we've already identified and integrated 10-12 players under 24.5 two years in advance...
That puts Klinsmann in the same boat as every single team in the Euro (and probably every team in the Copa, although I didn't double-check), so if...
yeah, I suspect you're right. I'm just trying to find some way in which the defenders called in make any sense.
It was remarked on another site that this roster looks like it's set up to play a 5-3-2 with FJ and Yedlin as wingbacks. It would explain calling...
I don't either. But even if you have Chandler over Castillo, I'd rather have another LB not seeing the field than another CB not seeing the field....
I'd take him at LB over Orozco and not think twice.
I thought I had a handle on what this would look like, and I definitely didn't. 5 CBs and 2 natural outside backs? How the hell does Orozco make...
Taylor Twellman does not agree
He had better not be a lock. I was just speculating based on him being in the 40 but not being available for camp (if I understand correctly)
This is exactly the lineup I want to see against Ecuador. They're the opponent to test what will actually work in the CA (sorry, Puerto Rico)
Acosta as a defender is just a terrible idea. Haven't we learned that yet? No Villafana is depressing, although I'm not sure he would've been able...
Given this, coupled with Tuchel's comment about how you can't expect him to do 90 at that pace, I am growing more and more convinced of (and...
He could be better than any of those people you listed. I think you are right on the lower bound though.
He does have four goals in his last eight caps, does he not? That's not dominant, but it's not bad either. Especially given that those eight games...
I like this idea a lot. I haven't seen Villafana in action at all, so I can't definitively say he'd be my choice, but I'd like to see him get a...
Gotcha. That's fair. And, like I said earlier, if Pulisic has the fitness to do that for 90 at the senior level, then I say go for it, as long as...
When did he show this? He comes off the bench for Dortmund. He came off the bench in one appearance for the US. I am very high on his skill set...
According to Google, the final is May 29, and any team that makes the semi-finals or better would miss at least part of the Copa training camp....
