USMNT - ‘23 and beyond

So I didn't see Uzbekistan game, but have to imagine this one is night and day. The movement, the energy and the finishing has all been really good tonite. I'm super happy to see this for the team. Needed this.

Agreed. It was a complete reversal. Aaronson and Pepi have both made themselves more valuable as supersubs than starters...Aaronson a bit more than Pepi. Theres not many players in the pool that can read the game like Pepi. He is always where he needs to be.

Thats sort of the odd thing about games where Balo starts and Pepi comes on. Players dont look for Balogun, they arent trying to get the ball into him. But Pepi - and maybe its because younger, less experienced players are on the field - they look to get him the ball.

The next window is Germany and Ghana. We will get a better idea next month.....and Gio should be available.
