Broski and Hendo, give me your takes on the kids so far, if y'all don't mind.

I had to knock some work stuff out before Game 7, and I'm still hesitant about getting emotionally invested in any national team match after the qualifying debacle.

ETA: A rundown after the match ends would probably make the most sense.

OLAS has died (professionally). In his 3rd year, he can rise and fulfill his prophesy.

Never saw a reaction like that to stoppage time.

They all still have a lot of growing to do, but Robinson was solid at LB, Weah and Sargent's chemistry has carried over from the youth level. McKennie at this age reminds me a lot of a young Bradley (yes, that's a good thing). Pulisic looked tired and wasn't fully into it. Zimmerman was great in the back and even scored.

It's a shite Bolivia team, but this was fun to watch.

I think that loan did him good.

Pulisic needs to eat some cheeseburgers, play some Fortnite and wrestle with his dog for a month. Kid was running on fumes tonight.

Our subs in the 2nd have been goal hungry, and not looking to get others involved.
Lots of blasting from outside the 18.

Also, Villafana and his wife were robbed of $20k a week ago in Mexico.
I'd be looking for a transfer.

He'll need to find a new team. May not get many looks while playing in League One.

Since we have so much time till the next world cup can we have a friendly where we call back a bunch of throw back dudes like Onyewu, Buddle, Bornstein, etc.?

This is exciting.

I'm pumped for McKinnie, especially if he can get good run in Schalke's Champions League campaign.

Not surprising.

Gwinnett's own! Hope he can develop into a contributor at this level.

Robinson looks like a really good left back prospect. He's fast, good going forward, and has good size and good limited on ball defense. He's been out of position once or twice but Bolivia is legit terrible.

McKennie was a bulldog.

Parks looked very intriguing. Big, but not clumsy. Really good athlete, aggressive, and read passing lanes well.

Weah is fast, confident, and very skilled. Took his goal well.

Sargent is lowkey a thiccboi. Good movement, great linkup with Weah, took his goal with power.

I completely forgot about Edson Buddle

I first started watching soccer during the 2010 World Cup, and I was enamored with his name.

Now back to the game, Robinson's performance makes you consider him as the 1st LB going forward. Hopefully he can crack through at Everton in the fall.

He was the one that I was paying attention to the most just because of left back trainwreck the last 10 years.

Was composed on the ball, got up in the attack but also had the recovery speed to not get burnt, there were two instances I can recall where he was caught out of position, but used his speed to still beat his man to the ball in a dangerous area.

Needs to work in the attacking third, too many times he would just dribble to the endline before getting off a weak cross.

Another loan is more likely.

Either cross it early, or try to take it into the box.

I don't know much about him. Isn't he at Benfica?
