Yup, you could count me among them. This generation of American players has talent. A good bit of it developed in Europe instead of American colleges. Getting these kids to work at top level European academies just to get into a side is the way to develop that grit and determination, along with technical ability that has been lacking in US soccer these past few years. I do believe the future is much brighter than it has been in some time...possibly ever. Time to get a solid, full time, manager in!

I can't tell you how awesome it is to watch DC United matches in Standard Def on a 70" 4k, bro... it's like... wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy not on that list is Keaton Parks, he did some good things, showed some technical ability and also showed he still needs to develop, he has some skills for a big man playing the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The US has a lot of good talent with potential. Guys like Weah and Sargent are the future of the team, along with Puli. Be exciting to see them along with other young talent like Andrew Carleton in the next few months. The US may not play in the WC this year but they have a very bright future. Hopefully the new coach can utilize that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 If any of those potential stars decide to take the cash grab and easy road with MLS then they can **** right off. Go to Europe. Improve your game. Otherwise you're no better than Bradley and Co. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But HOPEFULLY, he has lots of input into the direction the Natl Team goes in terms of player selection. I hope he and the next manager make it clear that the Pulisic way is the ONLY way to play for the big team. Those taking the easy road in MLS can enjoy their lives in the US without ever seeing the pitch for the Natl Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cursory Googling didn’t show anything newsworthy. For me, I’d want him getting minutes with the other youngsters (McKennie, Green, Weah, Sargent et al) to breed familiarity among the lads that should be leading this squad into the 2022 qualifying.

Long n Left Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Don’t care what happens now, leading France in Lyon after 65’ is amazing with this side. One chance, one goal. Please get Bobby Wood’s ass off the pitch. Gimme some 18 year old ginger! Edited June 9, 2018 by Long n Left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanboyOf91 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Pulisic was injured, and badly needs to rest after the past several months. And good God, Didier Deschamps, what are you doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSSkinz Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 From what I hear Pulisic is fine, he's just tired from a grueling season. If it weren't for the Bolivia match being in PA I don't think he would have been used there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Just got word that one of my son's friends (college goalkeeper) got the call to try out for the national team! I won't disclose his name because I'm not certain how all of that is supposed to be handled. Just in case any USMNT are looking to fill the U17 roster here's some more highlights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) The United has won the 2026 World Cup.

Also need to draw down the 23 cities to 16...I'm hoping at least 2 of these three get selected...Atlanta (almost a certainty), Nashville, and Cincinnati. That would put multiple locations within 6 hours of me. I'd almost have to think that Jerry Jones gets to host the Final in Dallas with 100,000 seats...as much as I'd hate it.

FanboyOf91 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Disappointed. US Soccer will flood USMNT with MLS 'stars' thanks to the autobid. Also, hope Iran enjoys its team getting travel-banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell what USMNT team does with its roster, but if the focus on the young bloods against France this week was any indication I think the novelty of MLS stars has worn thin.
