Tim Ream has played a key role in Fulham’s solid start to the Premier League season, but is it enough to warrant a return to the United States national team for the 34-year-old defender?

Why are they shouting?
Jon Brooks isn’t even with a club right now
Americans dont know anything about football.
Experience is a central defender's most valuable asset. He'd also be pairing with Robinson at national level. The two of them kept Mo Salah quiet against Liverpool.
What's a pre-mear league?
I think it would be funny and cool if berhalter picked Ream over brooks purely because Ream is white but unfortunately there’s a less cool reason he might do it- because Ream is miles better.
Tim Ream is awful. Please don’t entertain this.
Tim Ream plays with Robinson, so I’d put him in next to Zimmerman! No adjustment and it solidifies our weak point a little more. Brooks, Long, Ream…Reams your best choice there.
Tim ream pretty bad player, it just so happens brooks worse when in a Usmnt jersey
Tim ream is literally usmnt best cb
Herc, Wynalda, Lalas…. Listening to these guys is so embarrassing.
I don’t agree, tonight Tim ream was one of the best players on the pitch in a win vs Brighton, I understand he does not fit a high line but he is a good player to bring on to protect a win as a good defender
Starts and captained Fulham for like 50+ consecutive games. Enough said for USMNT. It's not like they have a super selection of CBs. Atiba Hutchinson plays for Canada and is almost 40. If you're captaining a historic English club through promotion and a good start this term you should be automatic to make USMNT even if as a squad player.
Nooooooooooooooo
I'm not American, so maybe my opinion doesn't matter. But he's been one of the top 5 CBs in the pl so far this season… His age doesn't matter when the world cup comes around. You need your best players…
Thiago Silva makes the Brazil squad at 38, but Tim Ream is too old for usmst at 34? What is this pundit smoking?
Aaron Trusty is a better CB
For a few seconds, I thought seby was talking to himself 😅
Ream with Zimmerman would be great. I hate how Herc is calling for Sargent if that man is in the championship too. Tim Ream looked good against Arsenal too tbh. We’d be stupid to play a high line anyway. Who do y’all think this team is?
Ream should start for the us team. Our bracket for the World Cup is literally two teams from Great Britain with players from the premier league and championship. He’s literally the best candidate for job. And I don’t want to hear the high line excuse, if the us plays a high line against either one of those teams, the us will give up football numbers to either team.
Tim ream def should be called up. The experience he brings will be good for the team. He can be on the bench and still have value
Fulham fan here, Tim Ream is currently playing the best football of his life and deserves his place in the team. He's been Fulhams best defender this season.
I think Tim Ream could be a sub or starter. If you wind up matches against a top 5 team (even England) and you know the game is gonna be more about our counter than our possession…. Ream would be a good option. But i wouldnt start him in matches against Wales and IraN
If he's starting in the EPL he should walk into the USNT. No ifs, no buts
No, you guys are overhyping Ream. Are you guys forgetting game he played back against Mexico a few years back. I mean come on, the man’s 34!
This guy really comparing an EPL starter and captain to a guy with no team…brooks just isnt good enough
Seb just lost all credibility he had left when it comes to soccer. Get off my Tv! Go do a podcast or something
lol dude is basic
This certainly aged well
Looks like Seb won this argument by a landslide 😀
