โฝ๏ธYour First Stop for USMNT News/Updates!๐บ๐ธ Stay tuned for the latest USMNT news on players, upcoming games, and transfers here on USMNT First News!
Write USSF to bring back ODP as the top youth league per state to identify talent. Have top players in each state playing with each other vs best from other states and then have best in regions play vs best from other regions. Then from there you identify the best XI. Thread ๐งต
Poch has like 48 hours to announce if he is coming back or not. Last week he said he would make a decision this week. Still waiting for the announcement ๐ฃ @ussoccer@USMNT whatโs the hold up? He either wants in or not. Commit or get on with it.
@puckhead48e Well take out politics then and the rest would be good. Best players from state level playing each other and with each other than regionally. Then you pick your national squad players from those regional teams. Not that hard.
Sebastian Berhalter to Middlesbrough per Tom Bogert. Details below โฌ๏ธ Middlesbrough just needs to sign Max Arfsten to bring back the trio from their Columbus Crew days in Aidan Morris, Max Arfsten and Sebastian Berhalter. Great move for Seb to go test himself in a physical EFL.
๐บ๐ธ๐ด BREAKING: Middlesbrough is set to sign USMNT midfielder Sebastian Berhalter from the Vancouver Whitecaps, per sources.
Deal agreed. Berhalter off to Boro.
Fee around $2m, rather than Berhalter leaving for free in 5 months when contract expires. https://t.co/bMlKvumSee
๐บ๐ธ๐ต๐จ BREAKING: FC Dallas has signed 15 y/o USYNT attacker Benji Flowers to big homegrown deal plus a pre-agreed transfer to Chelsea when he turns 18, per sources

@PhillySoulDoc Not sure it was scrapped just not much emphasis on it being the gold standard of identifying talent here anymore. Now it is showcases and tournaments for MLS NextPro and ECNL.
@benno_nagel I like the sentiment towards Bob Bradley pick but I think we have been there and done that. Wouldnโt mind him coming on as President of USSF or helping Gooch in sporting director role. Can get that identity still from other assistant staff from that era. BJ Callaghan is my pick.
@roscoe_p_ny 35-40 year olds outside of the likes of Messi, Son, Mueller, Griezmann, Lewandowski, Suarez are washed and do not contribute to winning games and selling tickets. It actually hurts the league. Younger Americans just as good could be on the field but owners spend $ on old ๐๏ธ
MLS needs to be starting more young Americans over these washed European players. David Vasquez 20 year old for San Diego on bench for 30 yr old dude from Denmark yeah he has 11 goals so what. Pedro Soma also on bench too while 36 yr old Anibal Godoy from Panama in midfield. Smh
@JayHrndz2@TheOGQuakerOtis@bombi3sz@starsnstripesfc Trump really did you dirty or something. No one is defending him, I said he may have just been trying to help our team out with the red card review vs seeking attention. Maybe focus on something or someone else for a bit mate. He living in your head rent free. Chill fratello.
