USMNT - ‘23 and beyond
So 5 total vs TnT
4 v Grenada and
3 v SKN
14 overall intl goals
It’s almost impossible to draw any conclusion here - I mostly like him , but…,???
I think it also has a bit to do with strategy and what is asked of him.
He seems to be able to float and find space...he isn't the focal point (feeding, asking him to hold up to allow offensive players advance, etc. )
So could it be that he thrives when allowed to play free vs tasked with specific job first, THEN look to goal?
I do notice Callaghan plays more attacking than we did under Gregg (at times we did, for WC it was not really consistent ). Allows the players skill to shine.
Maybe opponents aren't as tough so not asked to do to much, but just from a scoring/confidence level, that goal has to look 20 yards wide for him.
Cowell gets his first and you can already see his strength. Reminds me of Altidore with body size. Very composed on ball too. Couple times he held bit too long in box, but that timing will come.
Vazquez another...touch to just chip keeper. Composure.
Hope those young guys can keep it going cuz I'd love to be having debates over goal scorers coming in for USMNT on hot streaks.
