Danilo has been involved in 15 goals in 2100 minutes this season….

Easily one of the best goal scoring midfielders on the planet 🇧🇷

Going to be a HUGE surprise for many fans at the World Cup 💯

@ManagerTactical Richards/Pulisic with injury concerns, public apathy about Poch selections and moving on after the WC...can't speak to inside the locker room but this is giving me '98 vibes. Getting out of the group is going to be very difficult

Your kid needs to be doing individual work receiving the ball with both feet.

Ball and a wall is a cheat code for development.
