Pulisic


Arena already said theres likely no chance he gets called up.

Will be the case for a lot of the regulars I think... This will be a very experimental roster.

Has his switch been approved? Saief's was yesterday, but I haven't heard about Jesse's. I think they have to approve it by tomorrow to make him eligible for the Gold Cup.

Getting word D.C. United's Bill Hamid received a #usmnt call-up for Gold Cup, but Steve Birnbaum did not. Official list Sunday pm #dcu


Poor Birnbaum, with Jurgen and even at this past January Camp, you would've thought he was on track to atleast be in contention for a World Cup spot.

Gonzalez trolled the US for a long time and Arena responded with the ultimate troll: convince him to file a one time switch and then don't call him up for the tournament in question.

Pretty sure his switch isn't approved yet. If it is then he can be added after group stage

This was mentioned on the telecast when they announced the roster. If approved he could be brought in when US is allowed their 6 roster changes
