I've been saying for a few years that Pulisic needs to be off the corners.  I'd much rather have him in a threat position.  My goodness we have found our set taker at corner in Gio. He's been fantastic. 

Pulisic is a great set piece man in his own right and you can't really go wrong with either. Remember last nation's league final where every corner was threatening and Weston buried one? Puli delivered those. 

Gio is putting on a master class at 10. 

Looks like he's coming off though. Hope it's precautionary.

I agree he puts in a great ball, but just prefer him with the chance to score.  Seemed like he would send them deep at times.  Either way Reyna has that touch on it.

I'd love some insurance. Canada is athletic as hell and can score effectively and in a hurry. Need some breathing room.

Balogun's work rate is incredible. He's got Gyasi's work rate with all the things he was missing.

I see a couple U20s made the roster! 😁

This is very much a "depth" tournament.

Based on the numbering, it looks like 1, Cade Cowell, is expected to start

Yeah unlike last Gold Cup it looks like we brought some wings this time.

I'm not quite sure he gets the nod to start if we go with our base 433 initially but he'll see the field. To be fair it's tough to see which direction BJ could go roster-wise as of now.

Like the last tournament,  it's Mexico's to lose. They're basically bringing their A squad again. Easy to do since most of them are LIGAMX players while our As need a break in the worst way possible and to gear up for the European season.

Making the last 4 should be considered a successful tournament. But we did steal the cup with a B/C+ squad last go around so who knows.

@AUDub Can you explain a couple things?  1st is why having 2 WCs a year apart? 2nd is the expanded WC a trails thing or permanent? Is it a different format than the 2026 WC? Sounds like an excellent boost to US soccer.

One of those they're talking about it is the club world cup.

OK. That makes more sense and see the appeal of US hosting the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea etc. Cool.

Eh that makes sense.

 

Jamaica is a good team. We’re in for a fight imo.

Yup, expecting our top team in this game then play the youth in the other 2

I kind of don't like that they are changing the Club World Cup to every 4 years. I think there are too many ebbs and flows at the club level and it should be yearly. For example, Chelsea won the Champions league in '21 and have an auto qualifier to the '25 club world cup, even though they finished in the middle of the table in the EPL this year.

Ferreira is still in the running to be striker 3 behind Balo and Pepi so it's important he puts on a show. 

Lot of depth guys here like that.

Oof Miazga blew that one. Down 1-0.

Definitely a B/C team lol. The step down in quality is obvious.

The passing is not crisp at all, they look timid in the attack, etc.

Oof another defensive flub. Aiden Morris with a lazy foul in the box. Jamaica gets a spot kick.

Which is SAVED by Turner!
