RIP John Brooks.

Something beyond a poor couple of matches happened. You don’t go from Gregg saying he is one of his best players to being left out of qualifying for 4 months.

I want to see Scally and Brooks. Maybe CCV over EPB but that could go either way tbh. With Dest looking like he has a hamstring injury it would have been really nice to have the RB/LB depth piece Scally provides.

@SoccerByIves
Gregg Berhalter mentioned George Bello, Joe Scally, Shaq Moore & Sam Vines as options to replace Sergiño Dest on #USMNT roster after saying "it doesn't look good" when asked about injury Dest suffered today with Barcelona

Would bet on Bello, but Scally's versatility is valuable

fricking Sands isn't even getting on the field right now and Cannon has shown nothing this season to prove he's worthy.

I’m pissed EPB got the call over CCV


does this mean Brooks is essentially dead?

Tyler Adams better not play in Azteca. He’s sitting on a yellow and the Panama match is essentially a “win and in” match.

Let Acosta play the 6 and CONCACAF the shite out of Mexico like he did in the Gold Cup final

ETA: Whoever downvoted this is a Mexican

I mean I don’t like him either, but who are you replacing him with right now?

I would say he’s been the best player this past month in MLS, but I’m pretty sure you would just post laugh emojis to that.

Now is not the time to experiment with EPB and Sands. Call Brooks, bury the hatchet and fricking qualify. frick.

@RaeComm
Brooks: “Months ago, I accepted responsibility for my play & the decision that kept me off a roster. Now, I’m happy I’ve regained my form but unfortunately, I wasn’t invited to camp.”

“I accept this as the coach’s decision, but I won’t accept that I can’t change this before the final World Cup roster selections. There should be no questions about my desire to play for this team. My plan is to fight as hard as I can to make it back to the #USMNT.”

“My American identity is at stake, an identity some have questioned over many years. We (Americans) have all been down & out at different times, but we always fight back & I plan to do the same.”

No, I'd say I've seen enough to know that he can't play at that level. If Gregg can't see that he's not up to the level, that's on the gaffer. I'd rather put Ream at DM. At least he can pick a pass.

And the fact that this is the only thing you could come up with as a replacement is why Roldan is still being called in.

@PaulTenorio
Berhalter went more in depth on Brooks. Said they spoke about specific areas of Brooks' game that need to improve in their game model. No runway to do it in WCQ windows, but that they could do it around Nations League. Said he had talk with Brooks about it. Not out of WC picture.

Sands getting a second chance here is surprising

I agree with this 100%.

He’s done decent at boavista this year and has also gotten runs out in a 3 man backline (as a CB), which we could always end up running (but I hope we don’t).

Classy statement by Brooks. He’s handling this better than I would. Best attitude he can have with this tbh. If Gregg is trying to light a fire under his arse it’s working.

I’m done with 3G.

He truly believes he is more intelligent and ushering along US Soccer, but more often than not it truly is like a case of the Emperor’s New Clothes.

Brooks HAS to be more than poor play imo.

If it is poor play, then he is held to a crazy standard that rarely applies to his USMNT teammates

I’d rather Sargent over ferreria tbh
