Team USA Soccer

Mexico-3

US-0

Same old crap from Berhalter. Starts Zardes/Trapp. Can’t handle a press and wants to play long ball out of the back even though that’s a weakness in his players. Midfield gets overmatched and we have pretty much zero good chances at goal. Don’t see Berhalter lasting another year.

Ya that was a pretty poor showing by the men. I don't think Berhalter is gonna cut it for the men. 

 
Finally some good news. Pulisic scored his first goal of the EPL. Followed by 2 more for a hat trick. Also Sergino Dest chose the USMNT over the Netherlands.

 
Pulisic has scored in the previous two EPL games giving him 5 goals in the previous 3. Has been in excellent form after a very rocky start. 
 

Yedlin scored as mid table Newcastle took down Bournemouth. He’s been in pretty good form as well but still lacks on the defensive side. Could be used as a RM in the NT.
 

Emmanuel Sabbi has scored 3 goals in 3 games for Danish Superliga side Hobro.

Uly Llanez has 10 goals and 2 assists in 8 games for Wolfsburg’s u19. Probably needs to be called up to Wolfsburg II.

With the upcoming international break we will be playing Canada 11/15 and Cuba 11/19 for Nations League. We will need to beat both and have a higher score differential than Canada to advance. Both Timothy Weah and Tyler Adams are still out and expected to resume club play shortly after the break.

 
Gio Reyna made his first bench for Dortmund’s first team. My guess is Dortmund sell Sancho in the January transfer window so Reyna will be training with the first team over winter and be on the first team rest of the season.

 
Not really related to US national team but MLS just announced the addition of Charlotte, which means by 2022 the league will be up to 30 teams.

2020- Nashville/Miami

2021- Charlotte/Austin

2022- Sacramento/St. Louis

Hopefully MLS’ future plans include pro/rel.

Pretty close. Doesn’t seem like Dortmund will sell Sancho until summer but Reyna has been training with the first team and was just announced to be called up to the first team. Still could play some u19 games though as Dortmund is pretty stacked up front.

 
18 year old Indiana Vassilev made his EPL debut with Aston Villa today.

Gio Reyna also made his Dortmund debut becoming the youngest American to play in the Bundesliga.

LB Antonee Robinson was sold from Championship side Wigan Athletic to Seria A’s AC Milan for $13 million.

Edit- Deals off. Apparently Milan wanted to loan him with the option to buy (which seemed likely). Wigan changed their mind and wanted to sell Robinson instead and get paid upfront instead of installments. Rough on Robinson as he was already in Milan and had passed his physical. Weird on Wigan’s part because they’re in a relegation battle. They drop to League One and Robinson was gone either way. Now even if they stay up Robinson will likely force a trade over the summer for less than what they would’ve likely gotten out of the Milan deal.

Reyna gets the winning assist to put BVB over PSG. Also the third youngest player worldwide to appear in a UCL knockout game.

 
Can’t get twitter posts to work but LB Antonee Robinson transferred to Fulham in the EPL and Weston McKennie transferred to Juventes in Serie A.

Current best squad for 2020 IMO changes to a 4-2-3-1. Both fullbacks are attacking threats so you use 2 defensive mids to help cover with McKennie being allowed to roam up the pitch a bit more in the attack.
