Any idea when the "kit" and associated merch for the world cup will be revealed?

Random Friday story: a friend of mine is traveling around Germany and somehow ended up in a Brazilian restaurant in Hamburg… he just texted me a pic from the menu: they have a dessert called "Um a Sete" (Portuguese for "One to Seven") with the description "Brazilian soccer upset in the form of a dessert creation."

A website that often posts kit leaks says oficial reveals for Nike and Adidas will be in September.

It takes time to design a white shirt. Y'all need to give Nike some breathing room here.

Something interesting today: Leipzig used Tyler Adams as an 8 on the right side today for 63'. He did pretty well there and it was fun to see him in a more attacking role. It's weird seeing him get into the box, but he was there a lot today. At one point late in the first half, they showed the stat for the most-pressed player and it was him… not sure if they targeted him because he was in a new role, or if that just happened as result of him being involved a lot, but either way he got a lot of touches and didn't make many mistakes despite being under pressure.

I hope they use him there more for a couple reasons: a) if he's versatile, he'll get more minutes for Leipzig, and b) when concacaf teams park the bus against us, it'd be good if he could help unlock their defense more often, even as a 6.

They moved him back to the 6 for the remainder of the game after making wholesale changes in the 63' to rest guys for midweek Europa semis, which ended up biting them in the butt and they conceded two late goals to lose.

Anyone have experience getting USMNT tix? Is the $45 Premium Insider membership worth it for the ability to purchase a day ahead of the basic members?

He'll definitely miss what's left of the club season, but he should be rehabbed by this fall.

Yep.

Hate seeing all these guys go down though. Would be much better if everyone was in top form as the fall approaches, rather than working their way back in.

I was glad to see Weston was returning this week.

Im a VIP Insider and it hasnt helped me one time get tickets. All will be forgiven if I get WC tix, but Ive applied for tix for 4 games and never got through US Soccer. Always had to buy secondary market

So... I'll provide the opposing experience just to let you know there are those who've had success. I'm a Circle Insider and I have been able to get tickets for more than one USMNT game.

Or maybe that's the difference between Circle and VIP, in which case me grabbing an lolpoor premium account so I can get tickets tomorrow isn't gonna do squat.

It's possible. I do know Circle gets a better chance and I was just trying to express that it's possible to get tickets through US soccer and not a commentary on what you can or cannot afford.

No worries, I didn't interpret it that way… just sprinkling some classic TexAgs self-depreciation on top of my pessimism.

I may go ahead and grab a Premium and see what happens tomorrow.

I just upgraded to Circle, and it even applied my VIP funds to deduct for the difference.
Here's to hoping I have better luck

Maybe I don't understand how it works, but it seems like VIP would've gotten a code enabling them to buy from Ticketmaster today at 1PM… so you should already have been able to login to Ticketmaster and buy them this afternoon. Am I not understanding the process?

Yes, if you are VIP or Circle...you have a code to buy Granada and Morocco tix....there are plenty available as I just logged in.

The drawings is where I have not had luck. Qatar match in Austin, Mexico matches (Vegas Gold Cup/WCQ) last year, and World Cup Qualifier against Jamaica in Austin. None of those I was able to score tix (high demand)

Thanks, I think I get it now. Y'all we're taking about high-demand draws and I'm talking low-demand presale.

Think I can hold out for the "Standard Insiders" presale on Weds for Grenada?

One end line is sold out for American Outlaw supporters...which is also another avenue to get tix

Ticket price ranges are $40-$200

Robbies were talking about the future for Pulisic. Should he leave Chelsea for first team minutes and if so where? Earle threw out United, which I think is a terrible idea until they sort things out. Mustoe suggested Arsenal. Personally I think he should head to West Ham or maybe Spurs.

Those are actually quite reasonable ticket prices for a USMNT game

I would personally prefer he stay at Chelsea for next season and then if he isn't happy with his minutes, make a move next summer.

The WC is only 2-3 months into the season, I would prefer, as a USMNT fan, he be comfortable with his situation and know what his involvement will be. No need to upset the apple cart when the WC is so close.

Arsenal and Spurs don't seem like the right fit with the players already in place in that wing attacking spot. He'd be battling for first team minutes there too
oh no

CP10 should go somewhere with a more direct attacking pace and style- since Klopp and Liverpool probably isn't an option, how about join Jesse Marsh at Leeds (assuming Leeds doesn't get relegated)? Marsh seems to want to get past all Ted Lasso American wanker doubt about him, so he might need to avoid his club signing a high profile American player, but the tactics and skill seem to align for both.

Is it safe to assume Uruguay will be the only match we play our best available 11?
