Ream has been dreadful for the yanks. I like Richards and think Cannon is okay.
Do you take an in form player that captain's an EPL or guys that cant even make the bench and haven't played significant minutes all season?

Yeah it is strange how good he is for Fulham and how bad he is for the yanks.
I would take Ream over Cannon. Richards has been injured so that's not really fair. Cannon is also a fullback so I'm not sure why he's in the mix.
Best guess is what is around him. I mean his spacing, passing, and defense were on point today. There is no reason a starting EPL player shouldn't be on the roster..style be damned.

I agree that a starting EPL player should be on the team over a bad MLS player.
The only thing I'm looking forward to about this World Cup is that it's the last we'll see of 3G.

That's a better resume than anyone else right now. He's looked like ass lately for USMNT, but these club stats need to count.
He's given up a couple of really bad goals in that stretch vs fair to mid Championship competition. I'm glad he's getting minutes but he's not the clear top keeper choice for me currently.
Same. Turner has been lights out for us in goal, and while he hasn't played a ton recently he's been very good when he has. He's done nothing to lose the job at this point.
I only want to see Steffen if Turner starts playing poorly. He's been great in goal for the US and deserves to keep his spot IMO.
I haven't been able to watch a great many USMNT games but my over simplistic and probably wrong analysis is that Turner is the better shot stopper but Steffen is the better distributor (at the moment anyway).
If so, I'd say you have to start Turner. Given the stage and recent performances, I think we're going to want our best shot stopper starting as we likely won't be retaining much of the ball.

With group stage games facing players like Bale, James, Kane, Sterling, Sancho, Rashford I would think having a pure shot stopper would be more advantageous than a guy that's slightly better playing from the back.
If either Wales of England score early, you can imagine they'll sit back and absorb pressure. Best to make more sure they don't score early.

People overstate Turner's difficulties in distribution. He's fine.
I've seen Steffan make way more boneheaded passes and bad touches than Turner.jeffk said:

I actually think Turner is better. But that's just me I guess.

Gio Reyna looks great, and just scored this goal.

McKennie looked great and scored yesterday.
Pulisic looked great Wednesday.
Tim Weah last week too.

*Selections don't ensure World Cup roster selection
Would be a huge mistake not to invite Vasquez and start getting him involved for next cycle.
Well, we never make huge mistakes in player selection, so I'm sure we'll do that.
Mihailovic better be added.... so help me if we take Roldan to the WC and leave behind Mihailovic.
Pulisic, IS STARTING today!
EEspecially since he was in such good form before his injury, and looking to move to Europe. he seems to have regained that form, and deserves a chance to test himself again at the next levelAston94 said:

In addition to Pulisic earlier, Weston, Gio, and CCV all starting in Champions League right now
Got the assist on the game winner, no?
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.
it was a nice assist. took a few touches before finding havertz. Havertz shot was incredible.
edit; Pulisic also mishandled a golden opportunity later and was immediately subbed off.

He was already going off at that time…
That being said, his assist was because he drew 3 defenders and put it right on Havertz. Great finish though.

No complaints about Pulisic being played at wingback?

He wasn't playing wingback. He was all over the pitch and very high.
