He was actually pretty decent for Rangers

Julian Green is pretty similar. Ran off the bench at 18 in the champions league for bayern and was given a seat on a 23 man WC roster just to secure his commitment. Hits a pure luck goal for the US.
But like Zelalem, Adu, and Busio, all the skill in the world doesn’t matter when you move with speed and agility of a country club pickle ball champion.
I don’t think Green got the same hype as zelalem. I feel like Green’s ceiling was laid bare before too much hype could build.

Luis Gil has had a very disappointing career as well.
27 year old Emerson Hyndman, 29 year old Luis Gil, 34 year old Freddy Adu, and 26 year old Gedion Zelalem have to be immensely disappointing.
Having none of those guys pan out, plus 30 year old Cody Cropper, 36 year old Danny Szetela, and 28 year old Julian Green (better career than most but very disappointing when you factor in expectations) are a major reason why there was a lost generation of US soccer between Donovan/Dempsey and the current one.
