USMNT - ‘23 and beyond

Beast said

So the Nations League roster is set. Semifinal Thursday against Jamaica. Lots of our guys have been playing well lately. Sargent and De La Torre subbed out today for Haji Wright and Brendan Aaronson today (both of whom had good games recently).

Pulisic has scored in 4 straight for Milan. McKennie playing great for Juve. Pepi scoring for PSV and not even starting often. Robinson is leading EPL in assists by defenders I believe.

One of the best, if not the best, season ever for the USMNT with their euro club teams. Dont forget Dest and Jedi who are having really good seasons. Adams finally starting to get minutes again.

While we are stronger in some areas, some important guys have struggled this season. Balogun and Reyna more than any others but are crucial on the USMNT side. Its going to be interesting to see if GGG starts Reyna at the 10, regardless of his club situation...he is our best option there.

Up top, he could start Balogun, Pepi or Sargent and it wouldnt be a surprise. I still think Balogun is the #1 and just needs more time playing (and GGG using him properly). But Sargent is right there. I just like Pepi as the supersub more than I like Pepi as the starter. He just has a knack for finding the net when he comes on around 65-70.

But to me, Im going to say this out loud, we have a keeper problem. Turners season at Forest has been a disaster. Before that he wasnt playing at Arsenal. The problem is, he IS the best option right now and he cant even start on a near relegation PL side. I wish Berhalter wouldve brought Celentano or Chris Brady into this camp to start thinking about the future.
