Beyond well-deserved! 👏
FIRST SENIOR @AUFOficial CALL-UP FOR BRUNO!!!!! 🇺🇾
#DOOP
He included Reed Baker-Whiting! I had him as my last man left off but glad he’s here. Personally I have no complaints outside of the fact that Freese is here.
I personally rate McGlynn higher than Berhalter but he’s been playing well and I have no issue with his inclusion.
Hope to cap tie some of the younger players whose entourages seem to try to use their dual-bat status to their advantage.
A+ Roster.
Right back into it in Red White & Blue. 🇺🇸
Mauricio Pochettino has called in 25 players for our November camp and pair of @CNationsLeague quarterfinal matches against Haiti!
#USMNT x @ouraring
This would be my preferred 26-man roster for the November camp. The last spot would go to Jack Mcglynn or Raines. I chose McGlynn because he has more positional versitility (theoretically).
Honestly even thought about giving Reed Baker-Whiting that last versitility spot.

❗️ Fredrikstad and USA u-19 winger Gabriel Wesseh has caught the interest of major European clubs with Benfica, Club Brugge, and Barcelona currently appear to be the most interested in him.
Barcelona has had scouts in the stands to watch Wesseh play twice.

This is the shit I hate. How is “something interesting happening?” The three players you mention might be our 3 best players/prospects ever… Then goes on to ask why Julian Hall doesn’t get the same push… in the same window he left the door open for Poland in.
He is too grown to be engagement farming on twitter.
I think the bigger question is: are we leaving our players with sound enough financial advice at the end of their careers so they don’t have to resort to engagement baiting for five bucks on Twitter?
Something interesting is happening in American soccer, and I think we need to start asking some uncomfortable questions.
For years, there has been an effort to create “the face of American soccer.” First it was Landon Donovan, then Christian Pulisic, and now Cavan Sullivan.
But what do these players have in common? Who is the image being marketed to? Who is the target audience? And who benefits financially from that narrative?
Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy for Cavan Sullivan and his success. Every young player deserves recognition for their achievements.
But here’s my question: Why isn’t Julian Hall getting the same attention?
He’s only 18 years old, and he’s already scored three goals for the national team. So why aren’t we seeing the same excitement, media coverage, and recognition?
What determines who becomes the next big American soccer star? Is it purely talent and performance, or is it also about marketability, commercial interests and who fits the image that sponsors and investors want to sell?
Are we promoting the best talent, or are we promoting the talent that fits the most profitable narrative?

if they spawn a black flairy winger theyre gonna explode the sports trajectory in the US ngl, this lil nigga just the beginning
Cavan Sulivan vs Mexico (H)
Youngest Goal Scorer in USMNT history at just 17! 🇺🇸

I was right on this take. They are the fakest possession team ever. 2 goals from pressing them with intent.

Give me this:
GK: Kochen
RB: Freeman
RCB: Pierre
LCB: Richards
LB: Robinson
DM: Adams
DM: Mehmeti
RM: Gozo
AM: Sullivan
LM: Albert
CF: Ellis
If you tell me it’s too young of a team I’ll tell you there are 4 WC starters in that lineup. It’s enough. Result doesn’t matter either.
I’ve learned in the past two days that Mexicans actually believe that Mora is a Messi regen.
It’s not alarming that he doesn’t have more than 2 goals in the run of play this year? Not too many assists? While the guy a year younger had 20 G/A that same year?

Jad Lechheb (RW "12) - @NERevolution 🇲🇦🇺🇸
Highly-rated silky right winger who joined New England Revolution from Boston Bolts after an impressive 30 G/A season. Now making the step up to New England Revolution U15.
One to watch. 👀

After the match against Chile, this is the starting XI I hope to see vs Mexico.
Glad to be proven right. Raines is a player that will be a part of the squad for years to come. At the very least he is extremely reliable and that’s something Musah is not right now(as a big Musah fan).

17-year-old Cavan Sullivan has become the youngest player ever to win MLS Player of the Month.
He picked up the award after leading the league with 9 G/A in four games for Philadelphia Union.
And he just made his USMNT debut last week ✨🇺🇲
Is it not sad that a lot of El Tri supporters are treating this as he was their only hope? The dude has 1 goal and assist for the NT. If that’s who you are hinging your hopes on then you are in deeper 💩 then I thought.
🚨🤯 BREAKING: Gilberto Mora is at RISK OF MISSING Mexico’s next match against the United States. @TUDNMEX
The 17-year-old is a doubt after experiencing ankle discomfort and will undergo tests to determine the extent of the injury.
Huge blow for the Mexican National Team. ⛔️

Primera jugada de Hugo Camberos con México, los nervios se hicieron presentes jajaja
I also got to say tonight has been a litmus test for those who know how to evaluate talent. Some crazy takes. Specifically anyone saying Neil Pierre looked bad.
So we win both games with a bunch of younger and we have part of the fanbase claiming the youngsters aren’t ready…
Like do they expect them to be Messi on their first caps? Meanwhile Mexico looked like the 2nd best team vs Peru who we mopped the floor with.
This window has showed a lot of the crew from last cycle are expendable if they don’t play or act right.
