Mastroeni was MLS Best XI CB in 2001. The closest analog is Cameron whom I prefer over Bradley. If Matt Hedges can take Brooks's spot then I'd like to see Cameron move into midfield. Right now, Brooks plays best when partnered with Cameron.
He is a better rb than Yendlin too, the only thing Yedlin has for him is speed, he sends a good cross then gives up the ball 2 or 3 times.
All of your words won't make him a good player at the international level. Nothing you or Matt Doyle can say can re-frame the narrative and make this turd smell good. He doesn't need image rehab, he needs to hit the oak.
I predict Fabian Johnson goal off a rebound. Mazy run by Bradley, left footed golazo. Then Duece hat trick. Pulisic adds 6th. 6-0
Nagbe and FJ instructed to use their blistering speed to shield the quick interplay between Howard and Bradley.
I remember the days when college kids used to come here to make fun of Latino sundays League players. Villafana didn't play college and his dad didn't go to Princeton right?
Never seen the CB on a team simply take over the DM / deep lying creative midfielder. You go Cameron. Nagbe changed this match single handedly. Yedlin turned off on defense, but been great in support offensively.
