...think about everyone that's left the organization since - Gulati, Arena, etc. We also have seen the end of some very bad midfielders - the kids are going to get more and more time in the coming years.

Unpopular opinion: This team needed to miss a WC. We had about 7-8 STARTERS that were declining in their overall effort. Missing the WC FORCED USSF to actually fricking do something.



Regardless if we had made the World Cup, the roster was going to be gutted.

Arena wasn't going to stick around after the WC regardless. Sunil may have been iffy, since his handpicked guy (JK) flamed out.

Who do you think won't be back? I highly doubt we start qualifying with a midfield that's no older than 21-22.

I'd imagine Pulisic, Parks, Adams and Mckinnie are gonna be in that midfield right?

Nagbe and Bradley are going to be on the team if they want.

I'm excited to see a Ginger/SuperNovakovich pairing.

Weah and Pulisic with Adams and McKinnie

Robinson/Yedlin at backs

Miazga/CCV or Ream

"No Antonee Robinson. No Care."

As he is a dual national and has not been officially tied to the country I believe that this is why he does not have a vid yet. He will be one of the next to get one once he is official.

he tore his acl at the u20 WC last summer. has been rehabbing with arsenal over that period of time. As far as i know he has now returned to full training, and has a year or so left on his contract with them.

is he no longer considered part of the "Rising" USMNT?

Amazing how 2 years ago it was all about Zelalem and Green.

I think once you have more than 3 caps you are cap-tied.

I’m not writing zelalem off yet. He’s only 20 I believe. He just hasn’t played much over the past couple years I don’t think. I’m hoping he stays healthy, and gets a lot of playing time this year wherever he goes out on loan (I’m assuming this btw).

Hopefully some of the arsenal boys will come along and fill us in on what this upcoming year might have in store for him.

As for green, he had that very nice goal against France. So he’s still getting looks, and we’re lacking at depth upfront, so if he can get minutes and play well for his club team i imagine he will continue to get call ups. However, I’m not sure what his club situation is at the moment I know he was second div. bundesliga last year and I’m pretty sure Stuttgart loaned him out.

I don’t think so, unless that’s a new rule that just passed.
