there are 10 of those strikers in the world just like they're only a handful of great QBs
if one of those strikers drop from heaven, cool, but we really should develop a system where some combination of CP, Weah, Gio, BA, Weston are our attacking options
greggg sticking to his 9 idea limited our options

But there’s also the issue that this collection of players won’t play together as often as a club does. Just thinking if you applied a pre-Haaland Man City system to the USMNT, it might work really well, but they definitely don’t spend as much time together. So then having a clinical finisher / goal scorer (ie can be relied on regardless) would certainly work better in a national team setting. It’s just that we don’t have one and haven’t developed one for this generation yet.
