I am a big Shaq Moore fan personally

More so than Yedlin or Cannon anyway

And if they really do want to try a 3 man back line, Shaq is a good wingback

Did we know that Ream was likely to be called back for the 1st time in a year or are we surprised like I am?

Not that I have an issue with it...just that he hasn't been with the national team like, at all. And Berhalter's whole mantra is playing in his system.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw him mentioned in the leak yesterday. Prior to that I thought it was a foregone conclusion that we wouldn't see him.

Pardon the interruption for some non-US news, but the injury list keeps growing:

Morris is a bad take

Would like to see Pepi and Arriola

As long as the players execute, there's nothing wrong with the game plan here…

So I would say congrats on the #1 shirt Matt Turner, but I guess there's no telling what Gregg is thinking at this point

It wont matter what he does, good or bad, he isn't staying on after World Cup.
No coach should, in my opinion

Yeah, NT coaches don't survive longer than 1-2 cycles. Even when they are successful.

This has been walked back by Bayern. He's out this weekend but could be fit for the tournament.

I missed Haji Wright's name at first and thought were very light at center forward.

the team that won the nations league final vs Mex in June 2021 and then the Gold cup final vs Mex in July or August 2021, two different squads really, and the core of the team that took us through WC qualifiers where there were only a few really bad performances, should no doubt be able to get out of this group and into the knockout stages. ...but the squad that played in those friendlies vs Japan and Saudi in Sept of this year looked bad - like they won't get a point from Wales and might struggle to get a point vs Iran. I'm excited to see what these guys can do.

If he wins it he should definitely resign because it is absolutely all downhill from there.

It's fairly common even for winning coaches to move on relatively soon if not immediately after.

I don't understand the angst, not here, over Pefok. He literally has done nothing in a month. That's not good form.

And he doesn't even speak the language.

Definitely some false 9s in our future if one of them gets injured. But considering the standard formation, I understand not bringing 4.

Same. I wouldnt have been upset if he was on the roster, but Pepi being left off is the one that Im upset about

We'll see I guess, I have hope that Gregg is considering adjusting our tactics a bit.

I don't have a massive problem with his omission but I do think his omission in September was egregious. He was likely never going to be seriously considered after missing September.

And I think that's fundamentally a larger problem. Because if you surprise everyone with right based mostly on his good recent form in Turkey but you don't bring in Pefok a month earlier in spite of his good form in Germany, then I'm not sure what incentive Pefok (or anyone) has for making themselves available if their on the outside looking in.

what kind of form is Pepi in right now? I haven't been following closely.. minutes, starts, goals? I've never been really impressed with Ferreira, personally.
