Crazy to think that Inter Miami went from “would have been relegated” last year to champions this year.
Obviously Messi and friends helped, but them signing a ton of depth and having said guys perform while Messi was out (iirc they actually have a better PPG while Messi was out) helped immensely. Their season last year torpedoed because one of their best players got injured for the year in like matchday 2 and they didn't have the depth to fully recover.
Yeah while clearly Messi also allowed Miami to sign some young South American players they likely would never sign, the development of Benja Cremaschi, David Ruiz, Noah Allen, Ian Frey, and Yannick Bright have been immense as well
Just given the large South American immigrant communities in South Florida, overall interest in the sport, and Miami itself being a large producer of professional athletes Inter Miami should have one of the better talent pools to draw from for their academy.
Big match for the Philly homegrowns. Right now they're one position out of the playoffs. 1842694407709155734 is not a valid tweet id
Good game for some of the young players of Philly, but also a lost opportunity from a playoffs point of view. Not an easy game against one of the best teams in the conference on the road. Still..................a lost opportunity. Philly has a game in hand over TFC for that last playoff spot. They've got the playoffs within reach. It's in their hands. Their remaining game is against another good team, however. Cincinnati. I really do think they're a better team than the couple of teams ahead of them in the standings. TFC and Montreal for sure. They've scored significantly more goals than those teams. They've conceded fewer goals than those teams. And yet here we are. In fact, they've scored more goals than Cincinnati and LAFC. They have the profile of a playoff team. They have the profile of one that could cause some damage. They just have to get there. They dug themselves a deep hole in the first half of the season.
Ngoma was such a well, welll regarded youth player and has such injury problems. Still a U20. 1842744337337131008 is not a valid tweet id
A player moving up the goal-scoring charts for US-eligible players. Patrick Agyemang of Charlotte. First round draft pick in 2023. Born in the US to Ghanaian parents. Quietly. Very quietly............has 9 goals and 5 assists on the season. He's a big boy. Listed at 6'4" and moves like that. 1842742374922940485 is not a valid tweet id
1842785302378840084 is not a valid tweet id The most American driven team in the league too. Jordan Morris and Roldan are playing about as well as ever. They probably won’t be called up anytime soon but it’s not because they aren’t playing well. Look at the explosion from Morris, all the people who lied and said he’d lost it should be ashamed. 1842759793527681401 is not a valid tweet id
Wasn’t aware until this that he is US-eligible, nor Arfsten until recently. Gotta add them to the goal contributions post
Jack just topped the list for xPass on American Soccer Analysis | App if you filter out all positions except CM. Congrats to Jack !
Morris is being Morris, MLS is a good level for him. What exactly is Roldan doing that deserves a callup? Is he playing better that Djordje, Cole Basset, Tim Tillman, Diego Luna, Brian White, ...
Steffen did a great job stone walling Morris but Morris should have scored at least one of those two chances.
Tillman and Bassett are CM and would be competing for the same spot, I don’t think Roldan is competing with a striker or a winger for a position. What he’s doing is being one of the best CM in the league since he’s been moved back central and his team has the best record and defense in the league with the ball flowing through him. I didn’t say he should be called up, I said he’s playing as well as ever.
Colorado is a decent shout, especially when Basett is healthy but I think Seattle is more US dominated right now because the Americans are the heart of the team. This last week they started an American striker, LW, RB, CB, both 6/8s and the bulk of the passing load is handled by the Americans on the team. I still count Alex Roldan and Obed as Americans because they’re fully developed here before choosing to rep an ancestral home.
