This is what I got after my 11pm rage fueled research. Let me know if I’m missing any big ones

GK - Gabriel Slonina & Diego Kochen

DEF - Noahkai Banks & Kevin Paredes

MID - Cavan Sullivan & Rokas Pukstas

FW - Cole Campbell & Damion Downs

Miss the qualifying cycle a home WC takes away from you. Time for some new faces.

Also CB: T. Ream, age 42

I'd bring Tim Howard out of retirement before bringing Freese, Brady, or Turner back. fricking clowns the lot of them.

Build around Tillman and Balogun. Desperately need fresh faces at GK and CB.

Can you tell us

1. Are these just names or potential starters?

2. How soft are they?

These are names of prospects that have the chance of jumping into the national scene. I'm sure there's more but these show the most promise.

I read one of the GKs is basically Pulisic as far as injuries. Good when he's healthy but injuries hamper him constantly

I would love to pin this thread until the next World Cup to see how it goes.

Cavan Sullivan



Isn’t he suppose to be the next potential American soccer goat?

Should have just let him be on the team this year and get some experience if so, I know he’s young but half these guys suck

Here’s a collection of guys that just missed out, were injured, could potentially develop and surprise us, or too young to make it this time.

Some of them are obviously more exciting than others:

Zavier Gozo, Diego Luna, Johnny Cardoso, Tanner Tessman, Patrick Agyemang, Gianluca Busio, Cameron Carter Vickers, Niko Tsakiris, Jack McGlynn, John Tolkien, Joshua Wynder.

There are probably more guys currently on the periphery that could wind up back in the fold like Ream. There are probably a dozen more mls kids that could be added to the list.

Bring Alyssa Naeher over. She wouldn't have made that retarded play early in the second half.

If he is as good as some think, he's going to have tons of European experience four years from now.

Big NYRB fan?

But seriously Michael Bradley is doing a great job with these kids.

We went from Premier League caliber goalies to NYCFC, lol. Our goalie pipeline has vanished.
