    He's a young player making that transition. I do think he should move to a tougher league as soon as the opportunity presents itself. It will help him achieve consistency at a higher level.

    I don’t have a strong opinion between him, Wiley, or Tolkin but it’s unfortunate he hasn’t been able to get released for camps for the U23s.

    He’s not going to make the Olympic team, but I’m happy for Andres to go somewhere he’ll play

    I assume that means he's going to get paid at Chivas. That's quick to give up on Europe but I have no idea his economic situation.

    What? He was on loan at Mirandes. He's thanking the club for his stint there.

    That Chivas rumor has been refuted already. It always seemed completely bogus.

    Gotcha. Better to hear. He's too young to be making that move.

    Though Real Sociedad is probably not going to be the spot next season as they are looking to bring in a left back

    I don't think he was ever going to be handed the starting job uncontested. I think Sergio Gomez is just a replacement for Tierney. Doubt it makes a big difference for JoGo.

    Yes but if they’re bringing in Sergio Gomez and paying a fee for him that’s probably decent there’s no real path to a starting spot with Sociedad.

    I think though that it was too much to expect that JoGo would go into next season with a starting spot. Even if he was staying at the club for next season, it would probably be in like a LB2 role. I'm not sure this impacts that.

    I think it’s less go into next season with a starting spot and more go into next season compete for a starting spot. Which he clearly won’t have if that move comes to fruition.

    Harriel seems like he's making the most of this opportunity. If nothing else, he seems like a guy who can move into the fringes of the MNT pool after this tournament, and maybe keep rising. He's shown good physical ability, reliability, a fairly calm head, and the bonus of some presence in the box on offensive set pieces.

    The player I thought did well is Yow. Because we are thin at the winger position, I think he has a good chance to getting called for the senior team.

    Yow was a pleasant surprise.

    But there are some pretty good players who can play wing who I think are ahead of him: Pulisic, Weah, Paredes, Sargent, Aaronson. Plus Luna and Cowell who were left off the team but imo have more upside than Yow.

    And we have a lot of winger talent coming down the pipe: Campbell, Fletcher, Berchimas, Johnson, Hall, Albert, Hassan.

    Also Kolesheo if we are able to convince him to flip back to the US.

    It seems like the USMNT is a near ideal country to go with if you are a winger right now. Despite some decent performances for club and country Yow, Paredes, the Aaronson Bros, and Booth have hardly set the world on fire. We are so desperate for a winger that can get beyond an opposing D that I would even start re-entertaining the idea of giving Cowell another look. He can still be frustrating WRT his final touch but that kind of pace can change a game. AAR, the US is also bringing in a new manager and are going to be hosting the next WC. If he can stay healthy then I think Kolesheo could become an integral piece of the USMNT pie for years to come.

    May be the new coach won't need 6 years to realize that and drops 4-3-3.

    So at what point does this become the 2028 U23 player pool thread? Which admittedly is a long way away.
