This started with me thinking that if I had to put together a lineup to win a match tomorrow, I'd put Nagbe at the 8 over McKennie and it got me thinking...

MLS (4-3-3)
Johnson
Cannon-Long-Robinson-Garza
Bradley
Nagbe-Aaronson
Morris-Altidore-Mueller

Europe (4-3-3)
Steffen
Dest-Miazga-Brooks-Robinson
Adams
McKennie-Reyna
Boyd-Sargent-Pulisic


I'm sure that I'm missing some, but I'm bored.

Nagbe will never play for the US again. Nor do I want him to.

He’s a great talent but doesn’t give a shite about representing his country.

Guzan
Cannon-Long-Robinson-Garza
Nagbe
Pomykal-Aaronson
Arriola-Altidore-Morris

Steffen
Yedlin-Brooks-Miazga-Dest
Adams
McKennie-Holmes
Weah-Sargent-Pulisic

Could easily go several different ways for several positions on each team.

How do you start Weah over Reyna?

Someone more comfortable on the right? Little bit older?

It's not a pick I'm really passionate about.

Is Weah comfortable playing anywhere right now?

Honestly that’s the 11 I would start with the whole pool available.

Sargent ain't ready for that. Jozy (when healthy) still kicks the shite out of him. Even then, I'd take Zardes (seriously) over Sargent right now.

I'd also take Morris over Boyd pretty easily and Long over Miazga.

There's also an argument to be maid for Cannon at RB and Dest at LB, but Robinson has been on fire lately.

Sargent’s hold up play makes him a good false 9 option. Frees up lots of space for Pulisic and Nipples/Fat Messi to make runs.

They are pretty much neck and neck for me. Morris has done well off the bench the last few games, maybe his niche is super sub.

Jozy's hold up play is just as good and his off-ball movement is a million times better.

He was a great talent that never really gave a shite about anything or attempting to take on a challenge.

Dude was super content just half assing it at everything

Timing never really worked out well for him to move to Europe. He didn't get his citizenship until Sept 2015 (he was already 25), and his wife gave birth in Dec 2015.

Steffen
Dest-Miazga-Brooks-Robinson
Adams
McKennie-Reyna
Morris-Jozy-Pulisic

If everyone in our pool is healthy, based on current form, this is who I would go with.
