How is his hold up play? Seems like very goal I see from him is as a bully pretty much

He’s definitely climbing up the depth chart for the USMNT

If I had to pick a 23 for the World Cup tomorrow, not a single player I'd pick would be over the age of 28.

That's such an awesome thing to think about.

GK
Steffen, 25
Turner, 26
Horvath, 25

RB/LB
Dest, 20
Cannon, 22
Robinson, 23
Yedlin, 27

CB
Brooks, 28
Richards, 20
McKenzie, 22
Long, 28

DM
Adams, 22
Otasowie, 20

MF
McKennie, 22
Musah, 18
Aaronson, 20
Lletget, 28

WING
Pulisic, 22
Reyna, 18
Weah, 21
Morris, 26

FWD
Sargent, 21
Dike, 20


The average age of that group is 22.7 years.

Why Otasowie? And I would suggest taking 3 FWDs.

Because he's better the Yueill, Cardoso and Perea. And, while you'd hope he would never have to play, you need to bring cover for Adams.

Weah can play forward.

Weah and Morris are both able to cover forward in a pinch. I think realistically there are 18-20 spots pretty much penciled in for the WC.

Based on his 131 professional minutes and his 3 international minutes?

Find a replacement for Morris you can't go to the Olympics on crutches unless you have tickets.

More minutes and matches than the other three I mentioned would be getting with Wolves right now.

He's raw, but he's already better than those other three.

They could probably all make a decent claim to be Wolves' 3rd best DM. All but 4 of his minutes have been due to injury.

Who exactly is he having to beat out? I'd have severe doubts about putting him on the field in a World Cup game with less than 1.5 professional games to his name and his lack of time playing the game at all. I really wouldn't be comfortable with the ball at his feet.

I would have even more fear with Yueill trying to literally do anything in a World Cup setting except play a diagonal ball. And that's with his experience.

Fact of the matter is, we have no depth behind Adams. Otasowie at his best is better than anything else we have right now.

Pulisic comes in with a little over 20 minutes left an gains an assist in the 90th.
