The amount of ground our team is going to cover with Adams, McKennie, Musah, Aaronson, and Sargent is absurd.

Reyna covers a lot of ground as well

Are we really at a point where Pulisic may not start because of how well everyone else is playing?

If he doesn’t start it would be a huge management blunder

Odd Man Out scored? Nice!

Musah-Adams-McKennie in central midfield with Aaronson and Reyna in attack is certainly possible. Each of those guys are playing damn well.

With our talent distribution, two of our top 8 players were always going to be on the bench. It’s just that we thought it would be Aaronson and Weah/Gio.

Still having no update on Jedi is frustrating.

Looks like Pefok is week-to-week or even day-to-day which is a relief.

Pulisic is starting. He’s still one of the most dynamic players we have and arguably our best finisher.

One thing about him is that he never seems to let his club form affect his USMNT form.

It's also because we actually play him as a winger unlike Tuchel

Pulisic has everything you need to upset England in the group stage.

Since Mckennie made me eat my words, here’s how I’d line us up at the moment.

Some frick
Dest-Zimmerman-Richards-Jedi
Adams
Musah-McKennie
Reyna-Other frick-Pulisic

I motion that Weston McKennie shall from now and forevermore be referred to as "OddManOut".

Do I hear a 2nd?

As long as we also call Busio “right winger”

Aaronson and Weah off bench?

We have to accept that someone of quality will be on the bench.

Reyna is a better player than both of them, and that is no disrespect to those two, it’s just what it is.

Exactly. Somebody has to sit. We are finally in a position where we can rotate and still have quality. It's a good problem

How does anyone rate Cohen from the Israeli team?

We currently have "Some frick" in goal, he may be an in form option or somebody who is actually getting minutes.
I wish we could have called him up earlier in the year since we don't really have any more time to experiment.

There are several MLS keepers that would get the call before him

As I stated if he showed out in the UCL he might get a chance for a late call. At this point with Steffen injured the call would be Turner, Horvath and Johnson.

twitter link on a few americans in UCL

Josh Cohen is the second one down. You make your own decisions. IMHO not at fault for either goal made some really good saves and can play out of the back.
