This talent is actually not bad. Too bad we have Berhalter at the helm.
U consider urself generous for caling dempsey a 9?? Generous is actually counting haji’s wc goal as a true 9 goal. He was used as a pin to divert the ball he didnt kno ish abt that goal
Balogun, Pepi, and Sargent all belong on the Copa America roster
1). Balogun 2). Pepi 3). Sargent 4). Wright 5). A tie between a bunch of dudes.
What up herc
all are avg
Too 3 are 1st team. Haji can play on the wing which is a plus.
I guess production doesn’t really matter to Herc.
Stop with the World Cup goal nonsense. It was LUCK. Haji shouldn’t be on the list. Jesus Ferreira is better than him and Vazquez
When healthy, Dike would be high on this list. No pirate of the Caribbean, please.
Balogan Balogan is on the graphic
USMNT player of the year has to be pulisc
Balogun is overrated trash . 😂 i told yall. I aint never wrong in football
There goes the US media hyping up their little overrated players.
No Matthew Hoppe??
Balogun is miles clear of Pepi it's amazing these guys get paid a lot of money to speak nonsense
I love herc but bro, you gotta let Sargent go 😂 he ain’t that guy, never has been, never will be
Thank you for including Vazquez
You're awesome, Herc. And I'm digging the Rhody jersey.
This is not going to be sufficient for success. Scoring is the USMNT's weakest attribute. Fix this and you'll see success in big games. Scoring against Honduras, Guatemala, Trinidad & Tobago, Haiti, and other island nations doesn't compare to Germany, Holland, France, Brazil, and others. Fun team to watch but for now they are the NY Jets of soccer. They can hang but not in big games.
1- pepi, 2 – balogun, 3 – Seargent, 4 – Deki, 5 – Pefok
Usmnt is a solid C level team in the world stage.
Haji Wright……that WC bounced off his foot from CP
Just. Stop.
I dont want to see Haji Wright on this list
recardo pepi and haji wright, are doing great! Also,, Josh Sargent is doing fenomenal things. Happy for everyone in the list, I really wanted brandon vazquez to get a trophy with cincy, it was almost the lamar hunt trophy
Although injured Sargent has been playing at the highest level for the longest time out of the bunch.
Balogun is probably the most talented. I'd rate those guys as 1 and 2.
If I am making a tournament roster I would bring a big target man in to get on those corners and crosses. If he remains healthy I'd bring in Dike over MLS Vazquez for this role.
Those are my 3.
Wright and Pepi are similar players with similar output. 8 goals for Wright in a more competitive Championship v 4 goals for Pepi in Eredivisie +2 in CL one being an exciting match winner.
Having 5-6 strikers playing well isn't a bad problem to have.
Haji is more of a hybrid left winger/striker IMO. He really struggles to play with his back to goal and, unfortunately, he doesn't have the work rate without the ball to effectively lead the high press.
