Key emphasis on "can". Hey, I hope he or any of the aforementioned players gets there. Just is not the case at present.

Chill with emotion dude. I want the USMNT to succeed as much as any other supporter. You kin to Reyna or something?

Nah, I’m not bitter and jealous enough to be Frank.

Soccer novice but I have a question. Watched a good bit of Pulisic but not as far back as say a peak Landon Donovan? Pulisic is better than peak Donovan right?

It wouldn't surprise me if Mount starts on Sunday, but I would be absolutely shocked (and disappointed) if Christian is not in the starting XI.

Talent-wise? Yes.

What did you think of Pulisic at 17 with BVB?

Donovan would tell you Pulisic is better than he was.

Right now I don't see anyone on the USMNT whose form could be seen as complimentary to that of Pulisic's.

Adams and Gio. Pomykal looked great before Dallas got COVID.

In retrospect, I viewed him much as I currently do Reyna (or a McKinnie for that matter). I could see that Christian had "it", but from the games that I did observe he sometimes did not play with consistent confidence. And of course you would have liked to have seen him play a bit more, although I believe his "matches played" doubled in each successive year. While it may not be realistic that Gio makes the same type of jump that Christian has over a 2-3 period, without question the ability is there.

Mount is not only the best player on the team, he’s arguably the best young player in the league.

Why is it unrealistic?

Insofar as his time frame for reaching that level might be longer. Just being cautious regarding my expectations.

I get it. We’re all Americans and we’re biased. Take a step back and try to take off the freedom for a second.

If the question was who had more potential, more skill, or a higher ceiling, the answer would be different.

Right now it’s Mount. It won’t be Mount next year.

Kante, Pulisic and Willian are all better than Mount

Willian is absolutely not better than Mount.

I’ll entertain the other two.
