That's an opinion piece.

Is Bradley really not going to be a starter next year?

Probably not unless there are several injuries, which means there's a 90% chance he's a starter next year.

Yedlin will have to beat out Cannon. If Antonee Robinson becomes an option at LB, then Yedlin is in real trouble

Lleget has played well but has yet to get a lot of minutes under GGG so far. I would not be shocked to see a MF 3 of Yueill, Adams and McKennie

Would really depend on your personal opinion of several players.

M. Robinson
A. Robinson
Long
Cannon
Weah
Sargent
Morris
Holmes
Arriola
Pomykal
Aaronson
Yueill
Etc.

Also if you want to include guys like Nagbe and Chandler.

Hoping some of the youngsters get a call up soon. De La Fuente, Akinola, Taitague, etc.

Taitague has done next to nothing to get a call up. Has only played in 8 total 4th division games over the last 2 years. Akinola needs to show that the last month was more than just a flash in the pan, because he looked like a career MLS back up prior to this tournament.

No Zardes? List is shite.

Really believe Morris would be starting over Reyna right now.

Someone like Ledezma is much closer to getting called up than Taitague.

They need to get legit first team minutes before getting a call up.

If Ledezma starts playing early in the season for PSV and Uly doesn't for Wolfsburg, Ledezma could get a call first.

And PSV is more committed to Ledezma than Wolfsburg is to Uly.

Why? Sargeant was called in before legitimate first team minutes. Morris was called in prior to turning professional.

KDLF isn't going to get first team minutes at Barcelona, likely ever, but definitely not in the near future. His training sessions still feature more quality and intensity than any MLS game.

And what exactly did that do?

Morris really just started fitting in with the MNT last year, while Sargent still has a long way to go both at Werder and with the MNT. I trust Zardes more than him right now.

That national team is not meant to be another training camp to improve players outside of a handful of friendlies, that's what clubs are for. You bring in your best players available for MNT camps and Konrad is nowhere near that group yet.

Little different scenario. We didn't have many options at forward.

I still don't think Morris should have been called in while in college.
