Let's not make it sound like playing a single midfielder who is on the edge of being ready but may not be 100% ready will be the death of the USMNT


I mean, death is strong, but it could cost you crucial points. Friendlies, yeah, run him out. Anything else, I'm quite hesitant. There needs to be almost nothing on the line, unless he's shown at the club level he can handle it. I'm not familiar enough with Fulham's play of late to know if that's the case.

Hell... there were games in the U-20 WC where he and Zelalem were getting muscled off the ball.

I think the key is how big the perceived gap is between Hyndman and (for example) Mix at current form. If the gap is small, them trot him out there. If the gap is large, then only play Hyndman in a friendly.
