  1. This is a late breaking decision – and left to a popular vote? It seems odd to be making the call at this point but hopefully it is not a surprise.

  2. Tyler Adams is a great captain. Pulisic not being captain will only be better for the team, takes the pressure off him and lets him do what he does best – play the game.

  3. I was saying from even the tournaments last summer I felt Adams was more deserving of the armband over Pulisic. Pulisic might be the face plastered in front, but Adams is definitely the heart of the squad when he's on the pitch.

  4. In interviews with every player where the topic came up, they all say no one goes around trying to be captain. And I certainly never heard Tyler say it. That said, he's a great choice, and it's the right choice to have 1 captain for this campaign.

  5. Bocanegra was better than Landon. For their position Bicanegra was so much better. He was Premier League, Rangers at a time when you had to be perfect as an American abroad Landon came back to MLS because even if he played well in his loan nobody wanted him at that level. People wanted Howard and Bocanegra and those 2 didn't make excuses. Michael Bradley also played for Roma.

  6. Adams is too much of a hot head. He gets caught up in the emotion of the game. For me, Musah is the best fit for the armband. Agree that it's not the best player, but they still need to be a consistent starter and someone who can serve as a rock, both on and off the field
