    It is a huge deal if you miss out on young players who could have ten-year careers with the senior team. Having said that, I’m not ready to completely throw Poch under the bus as I don’t believe the loudest voices on twitter have the whole story on what he is or isn’t doing behind the scenes.

    People have far fewer insider sources into Poch and his team than the past regime. Like the guy who is complaining the most on twitter just knows Pepi’s dad, that’s his original source.

    Definitely true but I definitely do get the sense he’s not as engaged on that front as a Berhalter.

    Which senior team players are we on the verge of missing out on over the next year?

    I don’t believe I indicated that we were on the verge of losing anyone over the next 12 months specifically. However, brown would likely make our World Cup squad if he committed this summer. However the longer we wait to put the full court press on him, the more likely it is that Germany gives him a call.

    It’d be great if we recruited Brown but very unclear to me he wants to play for the US or not even independent of conversations Pochettino may or may not have had (as we don’t actually know).

    But I do think there’s a part of Pochettino coming from Argentina where everyone is dying to play for the national team where he doesn’t want guys without that level of commitment. That’s just not how things work in terms of the talent pool available but I think just the soccer culture he came up in and I think informs that he doesn’t seem as aggressive on this front.

    I’m sure Pat Noonan post 2026 will be very on top of dual national recruiting.

    he was always rather coy abt potentially playing for the US. Don't think we ever had a legit chance w/ him, really.

    The guy who had the entire 60 man preliminary roster early says Poch has never talked to Nathaniel Brown... not ideal

    we knew it was coming, still stings nonetheless. Just wish we could have some clarity on whether he is interested or if any communication has been had or not.

    This does not commit him as far as the senior team is concerned. It sure doesn't help.

    Well, "one year away" means December 2026. He arrived in Vancouver in December, 2021, which means he'd meet FIFA's 5 years consecutive residency in December 2026.

    My thinking on Brown has been, he's probably going to play out the Hermaany thing. Maybe next cycle.

    Now I'm thinking, we need him now to make sure Jedi and Pulisic show up and play hard.

    Those are maybe the only two regulars whose effort and decision making I’ve never really worried about. I do think we need brown more for depth though, as Jedi was gassed in the Netherlands game in Qatar.
