The Medford Messi. What a player, plays well at every level.
Crazy seeing him standing next to Mark McKenzie.
You abandon the colors… I abandon you. I hope you fail miserably.
Big time baller 🤟🏽
We should not call this team the American national soccer team, we should called the MLS team, since they decided to change the color of the USA flag on the uniforms, I don’t consider them a representation of the USA national soccer team
An elite player in the making!
Don’t leave him on the bench Gregggg. Aaronson needs to start, if that means Weah or Reyna or Musah need to come off bench, so be it. Fit him in somewhere
I know what its like to have a late growth spurt. I grew literally 13" in high school, lmfao. So I can respect starting smaller than everyone else tends to develop you in certain ways.
If they play without fear I think they'll be just fine!
The most fearless ball iq players around the globe and across the globe. The unstoppable ball control juggler and scorer. He is capable of doing what he wants to do in any huge stage. He's chest is big in the game and the grinding about the game never ends..Gentle men and ladies: brandon Aaronson, the best of the best in world stage midfield today without a doubt
Let’s go Brenden!!!
Love watching him play
Lfg
So his dad played in NASL? Why not mention the league??? What's going on USSF?
I am from the UK and I am cheering on the USA team because I like the MLS
Couldn't beat Wales lol
Let’s be real, he’s kind of overrated, people hyped him up A LOT.
they are all white and privileged!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'm not a fan. We so many better players.
For every Brenen Aaronson from the burbs, there's a 100 better players who never make it. They were flipping burgers to help their family, while Aaronson's parents forked over 10's of thousands of $$$ every year for him to pursue a dream based more on privilege and class and less on skill and merit.
In the US, the youth soccer system at competitive levels is extremely expensive for average or poor families. They simply cannot afford it. The really ambitious families can apply for sparsely available scholarships to these private clubs, usually flush with member cash. I've never seen so much corruption by soccer moms in any other country. Coach gets manipulated and next thing you know the poor and talented mexican kid is on the bench while her son makes a mockery of the game.
I was hoping MLS would close this gap, but they have done the opposite. Instead of offering an academy style experience, where talent decides whether you play or not, they have built themselves another cash cow.
You are in. Nice
My dream is to play striker for USA soccer team
Great job 🎉🎉!!! Brendan
