It's genuinely amazing how much worse he got after leaving Roma for Toronto. Coaches always talk about the value of playing with/against high-level players, but it's rarely been so apparent as that.

I love the way our fans can't handle having players who go to Europe and don't hilariously fail.

USMNT callups for Venezuela friendly/WCQs vs. Trinidad & Tobago/Mexico

quote:

U.S. MNT Roster By Position (Club; WCQ Caps/Goals):

GOALKEEPERS (4): Brad Guzan (Atlanta United FC; 13/0), Ethan Horvath (Club Brugge/BEL; 0/0), Tim Howard (Colorado Rapids; 35/0), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake; 0/0)

DEFENDERS (11): DaMarcus Beasley (Houston Dynamo; 33/6), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City; 11/1), John Brooks (Hertha Berlin/GER; 3/0), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City/ENG; 20/2), Timmy Chandler (Eintracht Frankfurt/GER; 3/0), Omar Gonzalez (Pachuca/MEX; 14/0), Matt Hedges (FC Dallas; 0/0), Tim Ream (Fulham/ENG; 4/0), Jorge Villafaña (Santos Laguna/MEX; 2/0), DeAndre Yedlin (Newcastle United/ENG; 6/0), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City; 17/3)

MIDFIELDERS (8): Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas; 2/0), Paul Arriola (Club Tijuana/MEX; 2/1), Alejandro Bedoya (Philadelphia Union; 8/0), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC/CAN; 33/6), Fabian Johnson (Borussia Mönchengladbach/GER; 15/1), Dax McCarty (Chicago Fire; 0/0), Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers; 5/0), Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund/GER; 7/3)

As strong a roster as we've had called up in years, provided they don't get themselves hurt in training (Chandler is out with a supposed hamstring problem, though I don't know if he even made it to the States for camp)

He was dedicating the goal to his manager who is nicknamed "El Chino". FIFA tried to use a picture of the players clearly doing the "crazy" sign (pointing at the temple) as another racist gesture lol.

We are going to be kicked out from FIFA when they realize we've been calling Obdulio Varela "El negro jefe" since the 1940s.

*Provisional squads. They have until late June to narrow them down to 23.

The USMNT one is fine. Kind of surprised by the omission of Danny Williams, but whatever. Some of those guys (Pulisic, Jozy, Deuce, Bradley) may get called up for the knockouts, but I doubt they are on the initial 23.
