  1. Leaving Pepi was a huge mistake. Since going on loan, he has been fantastic at his new club. He is definitely better than Haji Wright that's for sure.

  2. ZACHA deserved to be on the roster. Long didn’t play one minute in WCQ and he is going to start ( he is going to get eaten up) , Of all the #9’s Pepi contributed more than the other forwards in WCQ. I knew when Greg brought back Morris that he would take him over Pepi. And then we have Roldán ?? Why ..

  3. Mexico fan here. This guys just seems to pick the keeper that get barely any playing time for their club. Stefen was barely playing for city and he would pick him, now that he’s playing more games and Turner isn’t he picks turner. His logic is dumb. There’s so many coaches this World Cup bringing players that are either injured or barely playing. It’s gonna be such a weird World Cup

  4. they left him out so Matt would feel like its his team in goal, risky considering his lack of play and injury. Likely should have taken Zack as the third string regardless, unless something happened behind the scenes

  5. An important player and precisely the 2nd most important player in Pep's squad or the best club side in the world for 3 seasons.
    And he is not good enough for USA?
    His winning mentality cant be bought or trained.
    Thats feking experience of being in the best squad in the world.

  6. We need different coach with different vision rather than this coach punk classic thoughts.
    I love soccer we never watch MLS because of this kind of mentality in coaches.

  7. I took gregg to mean he doesn't trust Steffen to stay healthy if he plays that many games in so little time. So why doesn't he bring him as a backup at least? idk

  8. The coach talked about steffens body of work ………zack steffen has been fantastic at middlesbrough fc , the decision has been made based on the fact zack isnt playing in the premier league , clearly this coach knows nothing about football because the English championship is the most difficult and most competitive league in the world
