Homie said zardes 💀homie got 2 goals in 12 games in the mls 😭😂😂
Jozy Altidore is a “dream scenario” hahah what an absolute clown take
Just not a convincing roster. No amount of “positivity” can make up for that fact.
Cannot wait to watch US get skooled
If you want goals, it's Jozy Altidore. That's on period!
Hahahahaha
If the U.S. does not get q good coach before the next world cup on home soil then we will waste the generation of players our current coach is not even a above average MLS coach.
Berhalter is to st k on using some MLS players that can barely contribute in concacaf they have no chance in the world cup of helping the team other than being a body therefore he should of played younger players to give them experience. Until we stop choosing
USA #1
Daryl Dike is the number 9. He'll be the most dominant player IF he's healthy. He's undoubtedly the most physical and dynamic player against European– British/Wales competition…he'll be playing that style more than any other potential player and have more chances due to Championship level vs. Premiership
Cucho Hernadez only scored 3-5 goals a season when ever in a top 5 league. He's now walked into Zardes' old job and has 4 goals in less than 120 mins. Being "hot" in MLS isn't going to translate at a higher level.
Great job
Zardes is done . PLEASE NO ZARDES
Herc did such a great job with asking GGG hard questions and pushing back while still being very respectful and professional.
Dike was the only 9 we had that lost his form due to injury. All others lost or underperformed in their chances eventually. Yet these interviewers never mention him.
Zardes, Noooooooooooooo!
This man HERC was pressing on my mans Berhalter🤣 he salty af cuz Mexico is basura🗑 losing to USA C-team😹🤌🏽
Not surprised it's not a lot of comments on this post. Jozy was the last elite American striker
How is zardes even in the conversation
He has a core that will clearly be in Qatar and that starting line up. Kelley Acosta, Brenden Aaronson, Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Yunus Musah, Walker Zimmerman, Jordan Morris, and DeAndre Yedlin. Guys like Tim Weah, Gio Reyna, Ricardo Pepi and Jesus Ferreira are bubble players, Tyler Adams is his safety net for defensive mid or back line. Nov 14 is the final day for coaches to submit their list since they need to travel. I feel all the guys I mentioned will be on the list. John Brooks will be left out, Cristian Roldan and Miles Robinson have a bigger chance.
The fact that Zardes is still in the conversation as our possible number 1 striker especially over Haji Wright or Jordan Pefok makes me really nervous. We need to move past bringing mediocre mls players and bring our top performing mls and European players and Zardes is neither of those.
If we bring Zardes and Pefok, we getting demolished
There is no question Dike should be going To Qatar. Jesus deserves the start as of now. Leave zardes at home.
I would personally want to see Giocchini get some more shots. I honestly think McKinney or Aaronson might have to play the 9 just so we could have our best talent on the pitch at the same time.
Pepi, Pefok, Sargent and Dike
Translation: We are SCREWED!
Pepi please!!
Daryl DIKE should be #9
