I feel like Deandre Yedlin's crossing is underrated
De la Torre's movement reminds me of Modric, the way he can dip the shoulder and turn and drive
Zendejas is muccchhhh better than Arriola, Morris & Roldán
What pepi is doing here? 0 goles, no good
if i was greg i would drop yedlin for vines because vines is doing well and yedlin is a shit player performing like shit in the MLS Scally should be a lock
Just shocked we only have 4 CBs on a 26 man roster. And one of them is Long. Its ridiculous.
Biggest snubs are John Anthony Brooks and Jordan Pefok, 3rd person being Erik Palmer Brown, I don't feel CCV is better than him CCV's performance in the CCL was uninspiring although he wasn't directly tied to Celtic's loss. Seeing EPB's games he has a lot of speed that CCV does not, while CCV is built like a tank he is too short to defend the aerial game, and this is why we need Brooks and EPB over Long and CCV. Morris & Arriola are a waste of a space when you have Pefok performing very well in the Bundesliga, as we already have plenty of MF options as Pete said Gio, Pulisic and Aaronson can all play in MF so no need for Arriola or Morris. Greatest needs are CB and FW.
Hopefully Gregg Arriola can part ways with his son Paul Berhalter, lol! We have a much greater need at ST, I would like to see Pefok and even Terrence Boyd make it as both playing great in Germany.
Beautiful squad 💖
I don't understand Sargent tbh, USMNT fans are mostly EPL fan boys. It is a HUGE stretch to say he's in good form. Pefok on the other hand is first place in the Bundesliga
Overall I like this roster. You gotta have faith in GGG at this point. Glad to see Pepi over Pefok…he deserves to be there.
You're so right on the CF. If the system isn't working, and we need a goal… then all we have is like-for-like. Gregg gave a good reason for Pefok's exclusion this camp, but I'm worried his earlier comments about "not bringing the best, but bringing the guys who fit the system best" see Pefok out permanantly.
I was hoping Ream gets another look at CB dude to his decent form with Fulham, but I do understand why the others are called. Excited to see the USMNT again! 🇺🇸
With Pefok scoring and assisting in the Bundesliga he has already SECURED his Place on the US Men's Roster for the World Cup.
Berhalter is throwing Pepi a lifeline to try to give him one more chance. Not likely to happen this round.
Pefok is consistently getting on the score-sheet. Pepi, so far, with the USMNT, is not. Sargeant is also showing signs of life and that is why he got called in too.
Berhalter unwillingness to bring in different style players is going to be a mistake.
Instead of bringing in something new he's just going to sub a similar player and hope they perform better
If Berhalter doesn't see the sheer joy of a 2 striker option with Jordan and Josh he's a pelican.
GB’s system will screw us in the end…. Three on the roster who should not be as normal, and three scoring and healthy players not called up. Just makes me laugh, I laugh harder at the fools that continuously defend him and his “system”….
Can't wait until Gregg is gone.
Pefok should be here in the roster I would brought Pepi also
Proven goal scorer in Europe who starts for fist place team in Germany = needs to be on WC roster for USA.
He should be on the squad over almost anyone else unless he has an un-reported attitude problem.
Pepi and Ferreria do not come close to Pefok and Sargent looks pedestrian too often. This is a very simple decision.
