BRENDEN’S A RED 🔴🔴🔴 YNWA
Oh god he’s a Liverpool fan
actually he aint that good, probably closer to tyler adams level than reyna. reyna is the only american with football intelligence. pulisic, adams, mckennie are headless chicken, in the case of pulisic a skillful headless chicken but still a headless chicken
For a moment I thought it was Shawn Mendes😅
Salzburg, good choice seeing that they a liverpools selling club 😁😁
Finally, a American who will join LFC
The Union is winning the cup this year.
You're waiting for 2:03
where's alexis guerreros with the taylor ham or pork roll question
– also, petition to start calling brendan sharkboy now because of Jaws
As a North Jersey boy I can proudly say it's taylor ham
Ayyy south jersey
The man said Megan Fox, he knows, all of our first celebrity crushes 😂🔥
It's Taylor ham
Exciting player ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love watching this kid play!
"Jawls". I love it.
Also, I'm guessing he meant Jonathan dos Santos, Gio hasn't played as a 6.
the interviewer is really annoying
Love the way he said Jawls. Would have died laughing if Twellman asked him to say water and it came out wooder with his Philly/South Jersey accent.
"Always been a dream to play for Marcelo Bielsa at the almighty Leeds United. ALAW?"
Marching on Together!
Supports the bin dippers 👎
