We wouldn't have built great rosters for Paris 2024 Olympics unfortunately Dear Braden and Dear Yuri We need to strenght Our Men Teams like Women Teams.🙏❤🤍💙💯
One minute and a half in the video and I’m already laughing 😂 whenever Yuri asks a question at beginning of each video Braden goes three miles off of the answer and then comes back yap king 👑 looking forward to this one
Tessman is an enigma. He has a good skill set, and he is very good at positioning and his head is always on a swivel. However, his athleticism is not that great. He lacks quickness and speed.
I've only seen him in these Olympics and last Gold Cup. It is very hard to judge him based on that level of competition. I would like to see him for a season in Serie A before making any kind of an opinion.
On the topic of our RBs, why has Reggie Cannon fallen out of the conversation?
Even coming off the bench for QPR, I'd argue he's a much better option than both Shaq Moore & D. Jones.
Thoughts?
Aside from everything id say Jack goes down a tier but everythings spot on🙌🏼
W video as always🇺🇸🇺🇸
Loved this one, helped my commute to work be less miserable lol I think I agree with most but I don’t see McGlynn ever being part of the A team, Braden bias for all Union players 😅
I agree with Braden on McGlynn. In situations where we play against a team that bunkers and he has time on the ball, he could be useful. But in fast-paced games or when we have to bunker/counter attack, he's not the right guy. That probably means "USA fringe"
Slonina is the best keeper we have in terms of young keepers. I agree with Braden, he should be starting with the first team. My only concern is his club situation. If he starts on his loan, it's going to be a huge year ahead of him
I think benj is overly hated he is good
At this point anyone would be better than Turner – he scares me every time he touches the ball. For both goal keeper and center backs we need leaders and good communicators. Desperately need depth everywhere on the senior team and also to challenge for starting positions some day. After watching the Real Madrid – AC Milan game Tuesday – I hope Pulisic is ok – he took a very hard shot off his head which makes depth even more important. Anything can happen in two years. It will be interesting who the new coach gives opportunities to.
Just recovered from Tac saying Diego Luna wasn't good enough to make the USMNT because of Malik Tillman when Luna can play four different positions.
Make sure you ask Eric Wynalda what he thinks of Djordje Mihailovic.
You guys keep saying our 10 position is stacked. There's only Gio & Pulisic who are basically world-class.
Paredes being a LEFT footed RW immediately makes him Weah’s competition once the new manager comes in, love both and I’d love to just have that RW secure like we do with Pulisic on LW.
Don't you think it's suspect that your echo chamber all thinks Mihailovic isn't good but none of the coaches, ex-players, or pundits agree with you? Tab Ramos, Ray Hudson, Tim Howard, Eric Wynalda all rate Mihailovic. All anyone credible said was they thought Mihailovic needed to be involved more, but everyone say he was being passed around. You have to give informed analysis. You can't just parrot baseless talking points. Mihailovic wouldn't have played one second for AZ if he weren't really good. AZ is a top Dutch club, and Holland produces tons of 10s and creative players. How did you guys not notice that Paredes & Yow just dribbled and didn't combine with Mihailovic? You have to watch closely.
So Jack McGlynn gets rocked and can't kick with his right foot, and you guys leap to his defense. But, Mihailovic who is twice as good gets dismissed with zero specific critiques.
You guys are too high on the MLS guys
I see that Fiorentina just signed Amir Richardson. Do you believe that will affect Tessman? Do you think that the Olympic qf game had anything to do with it?
Camp cupcake needs to become a u-23 focused, sprinkled in with some quality mls vets. Like a 70-30 composition. And the MLS vets don’t see the field.
Good video, and it’s created a lot of good dialogue, so thumbs up on that.
I’m very curious to see what the impact of the new manager will be. There are likely guys he will rate highly that maybe others don’t and vice versa. And so what is the impact, especially on guys that seem to draw of polarizing opinions? Guys like Cremaschi, Wiley, Weah, etc. It is only a gut feeling, but I think a number of guys who have been in the right side of making the squad will not be with the new manager, like Weah and Musah. But we will see and just hope the new manager can make something with our talent pool and turn around the mess that GGG made 🙏🏽🤞🏽🇺🇸
With Mikey Varas being at the Helm in September, Hopefully he brings in some of these guys, along with Luna and Gutierrez. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
