Tough. 🥶

@USMNT @clint_dempsey Imagine the current squad with prime Clint 😮‍💨

[CEO of Knowing Ball @UsmntP]

My biggest revelations since the start of qualifying for the USMNT:

1. Tim Weah

Consistently our most dangerous forward. Puts shots on goal, beats guys on dribble, excellent crosser, stretches back line.

Timo is an absolute lock starter in my eyes. RW or 9 just play him.

@AmericanFif Excited for Haji!

Starting to think Sargent isn’t even on Gregg’s radar. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Garret Craig @garretkc_fut]

If the WC roster was 26 players, I'd bring Gio Reyna.

If the WC roster was 23 players, I'd bring Gio Reyna.

If the WC roster was 18 players, I'd bring Gio Reyna.

If the WC roster was 11 players, I'd bring Gio Reyna.

If the WC roster was 5 players, I'd bring Gio Reyna.

@JayAH985 You’re right because there is no good number 9. I’m not in the business of keeping one of my most talented players in the bench so I can have a good sub. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[The Reserve Team @ReserveTeamPod]

@JayAH985 You will still have one of BA or Gio on the bench. And if you really want to, you can bring one of your true 9s off the bench.

[The Reserve Team @ReserveTeamPod]

@JayAH985 I think people who are suggesting Gregg give it a try (like myself), understand that he’s not a true 9.

BUT it has the potential to fix 2 big problems: find an effective 9 and open another spot for Gio or BA

[Orange Slices @sliceofsoccer]

English fans when Walker Zimmerman has Harry Kane in his pocket

[The Reserve Team @ReserveTeamPod]

@AlexiLalas The counter press would be so fun to watch with the lineup! This might be the lineup! I’m not sure Long is the 2nd CB but I’m also not sure who I’d pick 🤷🏻‍♂️

[FUT USMNT @stacks_bobby]

Pretty sure Josh Sargent only had one chance … maybe two…? With the top usa players (puli, McKennie, Dest, Reyna) how is he not being thought of more for another chance.

He easily brings what arriola has except is way better imo. I hope he tears up the championship next year

[The Reserve Team @ReserveTeamPod]

@MLS_Buzz It has the potential to, but I think some the league will need to make some fundamental changes

[The Reserve Team @ReserveTeamPod]

@JasonAS07 If we are going with a false 9, why not try Gio or BA?

[Steven Goff @SoccerInsider]

Berhalter says USMNT lineup vs Uruguay will be ...

Johnson; Yedlin, Long, Zimmerman, Robinson (if healthy; if not, it's Scally); Adams, McKennie, Musah; Pulisic, Ferreira, Weah.

[The Reserve Team @ReserveTeamPod]

@FcSt8tes Who is doubting Gio?! When healthy the dude can play!

[USMNT UK @USMNT_UK]

Weston & DeAndre practicing the Berhalter bounce pass today in training 😅😅 #USMNT

[Sam Stejskal @samstejskal]

USMNT starting XI vs. Uruguay, per Gregg Berhalter:

Johnson; Yedlin, Zimmerman, Long, Robinson (if he recovers from illness, Scally if not); Adams, Musah, McKennie; Pulisic, Ferreira, Weah

[The Reserve Team @ReserveTeamPod]

Let’s also remember it was a friendly. It was against decent competition but still a friendly. The boys played well and I liked how they looked but it was still a friendly.

Thoughts on yesterday’s #USMNT vs Morocco:

[The Reserve Team @ReserveTeamPod]

Stu and John need to call all of the big games. Far superior commentary team!
