Yeah, I thought you were sick Pete for a little bit there. I wanna say though that is an awesome lead in it was rocking. I don’t know that I’ve been to your site for a while because I don’t think you ever had that before, but I love it good to see you Pete
Maloney not being called up is my biggest gripe. Maloney is a starter on a Bundesliga team that finish top 10 last season and is playing in a Europe competition.
so maloney wasn't originally gonna be called in but it lookmslike he was hurt for heidenheim today he has gotta be in our rotation with his style of play and the level he is doing it at
Let’s be brutally honest here, this roster is garbage. Too many players who showed last camp that they shouldn’t be playing for us. What does Luna have to do to be looked at when we have a complete lack of creative midfielders? Why wasn’t Maloney there? Nathaniel Brown, Anrie Chase are crucial gets. Give Cole Campbell a chance, he can’t possibly be worse than Cowell and Zendejas
Agreed would really like to see us get a good win away and then seal it up with a good win at home. But I am a little nervous with some of his squad selections. The first camp was the first camp, but hoping we can see some of the positives we are looking for under Poch in this 2nd camp!
I guess my question is who do you replace? Cordoso? Idk man big gap between champion ship and la Liga and cordoso is like half a year older. Not saying no, just maybe not yet.
That’s completely true. We have to admit that we peaked in 2002 when we beat Portugal at the World Cup. We have never gotten better since. We are consistently or rather mundane about the 30th best team in the world.
I'm guessing the lack of FBs and extra CB is pointing to Poch wanting to play three in the back again. I think he thinks Musah, Weah, and McKennie can play RWB. My guess is he starts McKennie out wide with Weah out for the first game, and starts Johnny, Musah, and Tillman centrally.
New Opinion: Reyna has always been one of mt favorite players. However, the demands of modern soccer and it's grueling schedule makes me believe that his body is not up to those demands. Baby steps. He needs to think about a reset, coming along slowly at a less competitive club
I would love Reyna going to PSV next season. Maybe Tillman is moving on and that would make the move even better (altough it is a bit weird because Reyna is the better player arguably). Dest and Reyna together at clublevel😮💨
@@ajibolavincent5496 for some people he is, I’ve personally never rated him though. As for who’s picking the roster, it’s so bad that people are jumping to conspiracy theories lol
@@merycastro2608 no dude I was being 100% true that I believe Brandon Vasquez can be a good player for us. If he gets more playing time. I think he is a very good forward. He might not be playing very well right now but then again who is.
Mexican American 1. I support both teams and if Peppi would be given similar chances that Santi Giménez has had he would have similar numbers if not better. 2. Zendejas, Brandon V and Cade Cowell are not USMNT quality but I hope they prove me wrong.
Pepi has better numbers with USMNt than Santi has with Mexico. Pepi is extremely underrated and sometimes I feel disrespected by USmnt fans . Without Pepi . There was no Qatar 2022 for the USa . That game against Honduras was the turning point and Berhalter left him behind
With respect to the distinction between calling Richards and calling Adams, I suspect that Poch is trying to build relationships with the club coaches. He mentioned that at an earlier press conference. There may be some reason Bournemouth want Adams to train with the club.
I, for one, had a feeling Kochen was getting called and, to be honest, I cannot blame Poch for doing it; not when one considers his other options at GK. I also foresaw this situation at GK a few years ago back when everyone seemed so high on the likes of Sean Johnson and Bill Hamid, neither of which I rated even then. I knew that when we were down to Guzan and he was showing more decline than his previous promise that we'd be here unless someone emerged onto the scene.
I wanna see a 3421 with Mackenzie , Richards and ream in the back. Musah and Jedi and wingbacks with Jonny and tessman in the middle and pulisic and Weston as “dual 10s” we can argue if that’s and actual name lol. And Pepi up top. I’ve done it over in my head dozens of times and that makes the most balanced lineup to me. Maybe swap trusty or scaly for Richards bc he’s just off injury
Its not. Bruce Arena admitted that putting more MLS players on usmnt was most important because it grows the game. He literally admitted to favoring MLSers over players in europe
His birthday is in October so just turned 37. He turns 38 in October of 2025. World Cup is summer of 2026…he will still be 38 by the time World Cup is over.
There are a lot of players on this roster that baffle me. And by a lot I mean 3 or 4. Out of 25. So it’s not a huge amount. Brother, you should have slept in
Maloney was injured. Pete you did this post too early . You had to make many assumptions. This is all we have available in Midfield. You guys are making it sound like we had that many options. Players are injured. Yes we want Reyna but he is injured. Can’t blame coach for that. Tyler can’t afford to get injured in international duty again . Let be back in March
This is not the Worst Roster. Coach can not be blamed for injuries to Reyna, Maloney, Wright, Tyler(He is not ready for 90 minutes) Sargent (did not work last camp) . We need to realize the USa is not that deep contrary to the common believe . Relax Us will be fine
Potential formation change? Lack of full backs makes me wonder if he will be playing with formations a bit?? This roster is weak, let’s just be honest. Injuries are a big part of that. But the roster hasn’t changed since last camp, and that ended in very disappointing fashion. Why? Why aren’t some other guys at least getting a shot? Biggest head scratchers are Steffen… there are probably 10+ American keepers in better form right now. Can Matt Freese get some love? Miles Robinson is a head scratcher. I pray there is method to the madness for Poch, because right now it doesn’t feel anything is different from the past 🙏🏽🤞🏽
If Pochettino starts Miles Robinson, that just tells me he's going to be another Berhalter, strange as that may sound, somebody easily influenced by MLS into calling in their useless MLS Lifers into the USMNT player pool. And if Miles starts, that instantly means having to deal with giving up 2 stupid, unnecessary goals to Jamaica.
You are only missing Paxton. Tyler Adams can not afford to get hurt in international duty . At least not now . Roster is fine except for Miles . Luna and Paxton need a look at one point
@@merycastro2608so substitute Zendejas for Luna, put Paxton instead of Brenden, and then sub Fossey for Miles (push Scally to RCB) I’d be totally fine. I personally think that would bring a lot of balance to a 3-4-2-1 formation, which we saw in October
Agree with you on Steffen. What has he done to earn a call up? He has been bad. But I would say Turner and Schulte are our first two Keepers. Also don't understand the limitations on the fullbacks. Why not have backups?
Zack Steffen hasn't been terrible in MLS this season. Of course, you specifically can't handle any disagreement without making weird, baseless personal insults. Steffen is great with his feet & an excellent shot stopper. Recently, Steffen was so cute with his clearance, and it ricocheted off an attacker. He was too nonchalant again on that one, and I doubt he'll do that again. Our other keepers wouldn't even have gone outside the box to get that, so his confidence is high. After that he got scored on on two breakaways & the other goal wasn't stoppable. None of that is a reason to not call someone up. He is the most skilled of our keepers, and the only one who got to Man City. He had some good games there, plus he played in the Bundesliga. You gotta stop writing people off if there's a mistake. Your other keeper options aren't good. Steffen is actually good.
Poch seems lazy with these rosters. Seems he hasn’t done any real scouting of our USMNT talent pool. So many better players out there than the guys he’s calling up. Sad
Truth is american fans over value the quality the usa has. Players have great games in divisions 2 and 3 and you think they sre the second coming. Then you critisize players playing in mexico a legit tio tier league. Its ridiculous. Half that usa roster wouldn't start in liga mx and most od you think they should start in top 5 leagues. Poch is calling in best available talent. Hes a coach he knows way more than you. If he doesnr call your player in they either suck or ar le not up ti snuff. Usa is not great.

Not calling in Maloney is getting really old he should at least be here over Miles as a CB since Maloney did develop as a CB in the first place
Starting to feel the same about Paxten. Especially when Zendejas and Cowell are still getting callups.

Idk why but I'm getting 5-3-2 vibes off theis roster. Jedi, M. McKenzie, Richards, scally, musah. Cordoso, Tillman, McKennie. Pulisic and Pepi.
It would be a mistake not to start Morris. He is the guy everyone thought Gio was.
@alexandermantooth185 idk bout that. My read on Morris is he's more of an 8 than a 10. And we're pretty deep on 8s.
@mattcoldiron5869 I'm saying he's the guy that you can build your midfield around. He plays hard and has limitless potential
