Re: USMNT - 2026 Cycle - "Early Days"

I think that there's a very high likelihood that the fact that the core of the youth movement on the MNT knew him and liked him played a role in him getting on the roster. And I think it should. It's damned hard to build chemistry in a national team, as they usually practice for only a few days tog...

Re: USMNT - 2026 Cycle - "Early Days"

The other guy making a serious case at the nine/striker slot is Haji Wright. Assisted on the tying and then scored the winner in Coventry's epic FA Cup win to push them into the finals at Wembley. I wish he wasn't thrown into the mix last cycle, as he kind of hurt his stock. He looks ready, IMO. Th...

Had a bit of a rough Thursday and completely missed this roster coming out. I think I just assumed Aaronson would be in regardless of form because he has such a clear niche role on the team. He’s in now, de La Torre out with an injury. And Haji Wright in for Sargent. Sounds like Sargent is just a m...
