The #USMNT should be aiming for at least a quarter-final run at the 2026 World Cup

This doc outlines my thoughts on how I want to see the @USMNT play, and who I want to see play for them

In don’t expect anyone to read this, but maybe someone will

@BavarianFBWorks Why wouldn’t he? Neuer will be sharp and well rested

Tyler Adams and Raul Jimenez star in one of the best football commercials you'll ever see. Reminiscent of iconic early 2000s ⚽ ads.

I’m dying with Channing Tatum as Erling Haaland’s stunt double. 💀

@USKeeper @kerrc17 The Klinsmann era performance in 2014 was pretty solid

The 2018 cycle was a disaster, but I blame Bruce for that more than JK. JK played his part, for sure, but Bruce sank that ship instead of bringing it ashore. I believe Klinsmann’s team would’ve qualified in 2018

@Plettigoal Not worth €60m. Not even close

Davies is young and has a long future with Bayern. Especially at his wages. He won’t be easy to sell

That means Brown becomes a bench option with no real pathway to playing time aside from injury

I’d rather keep Ito, who can also cover CB

Interesting. I don’t think there’s any correlation here, but maybe there’s something to it

@iMiaSanMia @RikElfrink I wanted Dest a few years back when he chose Barcelona

Today, I’m not convinced he’s the player we thought he’d be

He’s good, don’t get me wrong. But he’s not an upgrade from Laimer

[Chris @back_up10]

I’m sure there were a lot of tough decisions for these dual nats

@MLShater Man, Aaron Long making a World Cup squad was crazy

Robbery

I fucking hate all of this

[Thomas 🇺🇸 @USKeeper]

This could be the beginning of an unofficial soccer time-out. Some high school teams already have the ability to call time-outs during matches.

@NSC_Guru Truthfully, I’m still taking Scally over Freeman

[Chris @back_up10]

@spielertrainer_ It’s classy. But it’s unimaginative and safe. I’m not rushing to spend over $100 on it

[Chris @back_up10]

@iMiaSanMia @lbertozzi As someone who wants to ensure I wear the matching kit to the game, you know, just in case Nagelsmann spots me in the upper deck and needs to bring me on at LB, I’m very happy to see this information

[Chris @back_up10]

@Score90_ I don’t think most of these players are better than the players selected ahead of them

[Chris @back_up10]

@SamBorden @olive_york WHERE DOES THIS INFORMATION COME FROM?!?!

[Chris @back_up10]

@USMNTOtaku Where can I find this for every team?

[🇺🇸 @starsnstripesfc]

Thoughts on the GK situation? To me Turner and Freese are of equal quality, but I feel more comfortable with Turner’s big game experience. Recent MLS form favors Turner as well.
