William Cruz
this team is so fucking shit compared to like wc 2010 team
just a bunch of absolute literal whos/has beens and then pulisic

Joshua Ward
Did yuros actually rate us back then?
Jose Nguyen
Unironicly this. The fact that Pulisic is our best player says more about the fact the the team is shit than it does about pulisic being good.
Lincoln Cruz
Our 2010 team was actually on par with our current team. Our 2014 team was fucking dogshit though. Youngsters like Wood, Brooks, Pulisic, Acosta are far better than the fucking geezers Klansman bought on in Brazil
Austin Clark
>No Jermaine Jones Hallelujah
Jace Gomez
>literally whos Excluding Pulisic, we have players like Brooks, Johnson, Chandler and Wood who are regulars in the Bundesliga. Cameron is a regular in the Premier league. They may be literally who's but they're at least in a top 4 league.
Andrew Moore
The fuck happened to Matt Miazga?
Colton Sanchez
Official Realistic Lineup for Mexico (assuming no injuries)
Altidore - Deuce Johnson - Pulisic - Bradley - Nagbe Chandler - Brooks - Cameron - Yedlin Howard
Probable subs being Wood, Acosta, Bedoya, Morris, Guzan, Hedges, and Besler
I'd like to see Acosta instead of Bradley as a holding mid but obviously thats not happening until the next world cup cycle because of USSF nepotism
Logan Torres
chelsea.
just fuck my career up senpai: the club
Gavin Rivera
why isnt there a 7 foot giant of an african american in goal by now
Eli Ward
Played 90 mins in the Dutch cup final for Vitesse recently, not sure how well he played though. He's been totally off our coach's radar though. Maybe when he gets back to Chelsea Bruce Arena will bring him in. Definitely isn't suited for our starting xi as a CB though
Gabriel Taylor
only gay niggas or uncle toms play soccer
Sebastian Long
What position does Cameron usually play for Stoke?
Caleb Foster
>Morris >bedoya >Bradley >altishit
JUST
Gabriel Peterson
why bring Hedges and not Zimmerman?
Cooper Cook
On loan for Chelsea. He did well for his dutch club and won a trophy so he will be evaluated and sent to a bigger club for another loan experience
Adrian Bell
Not same user but Cameron usually features at RB for Stoke. He often plays at CB as well, and seldomly plays at CM when/if needed. >tfw Cameron has specifically stated his preferred position is CM >hardly ever plays there for club or country He's a far better midfielder than Bradley, which isn't saying much, but nobody ever has the balls to rightfully bench Bradley.
Robert Sanders
Underrated.
Owen Sanchez
Why even bring either of those two in the first place?
Acoording to transfermarkt, he's played as a defensive midfielder this season.
Lucas Sanders
>Excluding Pulisic, we have players like Brooks, Johnson, Chandler and Wood who are regulars in the Bundesliga. Cameron is a regular in the Premier league.
so what? Scotland could field a full team of Premier League regulars. we're still dogshit like you.
Liam Brooks
I care. BTFO monkey.
Caleb Peterson
I just read recently Miazga actually had a respectable loan spell this season at Vitesse. Don't think a drop in form or anything is the reason he's not selected.
Ryder Morales
Because Hedges is better than Zimmerman. Hedges was defender of the year last season
Colton Thompson
>Damarcus Beasley still exists wew lad, I remember him playing at PSV way back
Caleb Howard
WHAT THE FUCK IS CHANDLER DOING ON THIS ROSTER HOLY FUCK HOW MANY TIMES DOES HE HAVE TO FUCK UP FOR US SOCCER TO REALIZE HE'S A SHIT SOCCER PLAYER
John Lewis
Who the fuck can fill our LB role. Villafana is awful
Nathan Rivera
Chandler has had a huge spike in form this season for Frankfurt, probably our best option for LB right now
Sebastian Kelly
Honestly I'd rather have him as CB for the national team, Bradley is definitely not going anywhere unfortunately but when bradley fucks off, Acosta can fill that void and Cameron stays as CB
Nolan Moore
not Zimmerman instead of Hedges, I mean why not have both? they clearly work well together
Jose Stewart
Because Brooks and Cameron work far better together as a CB pair. I mean Cameron is not bad but Brooks has been a fucking beast center back this year, bullying attackers left and right. Im not some edgy yurohipster but Zimzam and Hedges are just not skilled enough for getting in the starting XI. I do think that Zimmerman should have gotten called up instead of Gonzashit or Besler. Hedges was really good though, would be a decent replacement for Cameron or Brooks if they get injured
Joshua Hall
I DON'T FUCKING CARE WHAT HE'S DONE IN GERMANY HE'S DONE NOTHING BUT ACTIVELY SUCK EVERYTIME HE PLAYS FOR THE US HE SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER GET A CALLUP AGAIN
FUCK YOU FOR THINKING HE DESERVED ONE
Jonathan Ward
are you 12
Connor Perry
Brooks is terrible whenever Cameron doesn't play though
Grayson Reed
he's not terrible without cameron but hes definitely less good. There was one game where he shat the bed for the US without cameron, i cant remember which game it was, may have been a friendly against brazil or colombia
Charles Rodriguez
you need to call up the white messi brooks lennon
hmm, kinda. 5 or so good players. prime dempsey, donovan, howard, bradley and one more, maybe onyewu. good enough to make it to quarters or whatever
Hudson Clark
No There's been plenty of times he's shit the bed without Cameron Ukraine, 15 gold cup I don't trust Brooks alone
Henry Peterson
the fuck thats nowhere close to good enough for quarters Our defense was in decline as Onyewu recently started to become shit then, and we had CMs as Bradley was fucking gargbage his whole career. How that stumbling uncoordinated lazy turdfuck managed to get a job at Roma is beyond me. Probably due to the American owner. >Brooks Lennon I hear he's le pacey white boy. idk how he'll fit into liverpool once he's off loan
Jaxson Roberts
good post
Xavier Phillips
To be fair, he's barely 24 and has had his best season so far. I trust him alongside another CB like Hedges at this point.
Really wish i didnt have to read this post
Jaxson Cooper
I'm not saying they should start, but they are both young and if they keep developing at this rate they will be the CBs of the future. I just think they should be getting called up now so they can get the experience, even if it is only training.
Alexander Russell
I wish Chandler wasn't on the team
Brody Sanchez
Really? no fucking way
Ethan Harris
yeah i do agree that zimzam ought to have been chosen over the shitter that is Omar Gonzalez. Cameron is kinda old, like 31, so maybe starting zimmerman alongside brooks next WC cycle would be a good idea
Camden Bell
>Premier league regulars. You hardly have any. We at least have a good portion of our starting 11 in the first teams in top 4 league clubs.
Matthew Thomas
Wood is starting over Altishit and realistically speaking Acosta should be starting over Bradshit
Gonzalez is a good choice considering the altitude sempai. Also, I like more Pulisic as second half sub, but that won't happen in the US in 15 years
Jack Garcia
We're gonna be playing some friendlies and have our camp in high altitude to adjust for the Azteca game so it doesn't really matter.
Adam Green
replace Dozy with Wood who can score in clutch moments and not disappear and Bradley with Acosta who has been great for Dallas and actually looks like he can hold his line.
Liam Wilson
Denver is still like 1km lower than Mexico City. That's a huge difference tho
Alexander Sanchez
Everyone over 30 needs to fuck off already. We should do what Germany does and start bringing in the new generation slowly. Dempsey and Bradley in particular.
Owen Kelly
Johnson is the only decent choice but we need him in the midfield as a winger. We could try doing a 3-5-2 with wingbacks in the midfield using Johnson and Yedlin but our team was slaughtered the last time Klinsmann tried that at home.
Nathan Smith
I'll watch because it's Mexico but the u-20 team play way better than the senior team and that's been the case for at least 5 years. The senior team plays like headless chickens.
Kayden Myers
does anybody care with this?
Carter Sanchez
we have nobody good enough to replace howard or our defenders
Guzan is ok at best
Jack Roberts
>Dogshit >Finished above England and Italy the last two (2) World Cups.
Kayden Long
I don't know how he is internationally, but Guzan is total shit. You should consider ressurecting Friedel desu
Nolan Williams
It's a start We played Costa Rica at the same place in 2013 and got a draw in Mexico
Luis Howard
To be fair, that was the worst Mexico in the history, you should have won. Even Jamaica almost won against us in the Azteca
Chase Scott
Give me the low down on:
>Ethan Horvath (why the fuck are we not starting him) >Brooks Lennon >Matt Miazga >Brooks Lennon >Carter-Vickers
>Ben Lederman >the Schalke players >Fiorentina player
Our youth looks so promising lads. Why were none of them called up?
Chase White
lads, is stefan frai decent
Jaxson Campbell
I know CV is in the u-20 WC.
You should watch it, like I said previously it's like watching two different cultures. The u-__ teams play so much more fluidly than the senior team.
John Torres
Erick Palmer-Brown is the best youth option at CB right now
Weston Mckennie will probably start next year in a CDM role for Schalke and looks promising
Elijah Turner
Ethan Horvath played in a league worse than MLS and is now bench player in a league at or just above MLS's level Brooks Lennon has done well at RSL but he hasn't been outstanding to the point where he's ready to replace someone Matt Miazga is overrated CCV has yet to make a first-team appearance for anyone Ben Lederman couldn't crack the U-17 team Schalke players are still fringe players Joshua Perez did shit for the U-20s
Brody Johnson
u20 tournaments are usually for second stringers who arent playing regularly in their clubs. Preseason is very important so many clubs are reluctant to release u20 players for non mandated tournaments. That's why we don't have our best u20s on the team - and it's not just us, it's almost every nation in the tournament. Most of these guys won't ever play for the senior team since they taper off later on in their careers.
Nathan Cooper
>mls shill go back to your cancerous reddit-general
Daniel Turner
> >Underrated.
Think you mean fucking trash.
Luke Long
Why are you asking why we're not starting a backup in Belgium?
Ethan Rivera
That wasn't me, that was another guy. I thought Horvath was good because I saw he got 4 starts even after transferring to Bragge or whatever club it is and will most likely be in the CL next season. AND he's only 21 so I was wondering if he's ready to replace Howard or Guzan.
Levi Allen
That's very premature Again, the Belgian league isn't so far above MLS that any backup is far superior to established MLS players I think Bingham and Hamid deserve a shot before Horvath
Jaxson Martin
>ALTIDORE >DEMPSHIT >BRADLEL
Henry Thomas
>the state of our GK's
unfortunate
the rest of the team seems to be on the up
Benjamin Stewart
out of all the players, you pick dempsey?
Nathan Turner
>the Belgian league isn't so far above MLS Yes it is, their clubs regularly play in the Europa league and Champions league group stages which are far stronger competitions than the Concacrap champions league where MLS teams are embarrassed by the Mexican clubs. Gent eliminated Spurs in Europa this season.
Caleb Phillips
irony being that if Donovan was sitting in the box instead of Wondo we probably would have been past Belgium in the RO16
Jordan Perez
Welcome to soccer You've clearly only been here a couple of months
Colton Gomez
If it was anyone but Arena, I could see a 3-4-3 potentially working with the players the US has.
Lucas Ramirez
What happened to Birnbaum?
Jeremiah Bell
You know this isn't FIFA right?
Grayson Moore
Hasn't been very good
Robert Scott
this lol
we are not Juventus, our fullbacks are in no way shape or form good enough to handle a 3 CB set
we play a basic formation, semi park the bus and hope for the best on the counter
Isaiah Butler
Because a 3-4-3 team didn't just win the PL, and a number of teams didn't use it throughout the season.
Austin Mitchell
You're retarded for even thinking mlelshit is good.
Elijah Price
>implying PL finishing means anything when only 1st and second place were close
Kevin Reyes
Our players aren't high caliber players.
Jayden Cruz
Italy beat Spain in the Euros with the formation. It's definitely possible with a decent coach.
