Definitely that. Not like US Soccer concealed the fact that the match would be in Minnesota.

Are we done with Gyasi Zardes yet?

Every game he plays the US looks bad, well worse, than they do without him.

It would really help if any of our #9 options had any sort of form to speak of.

Zardes will always be in the picture for as long as he's still playing and Berhalter is in charge.

I feel like it should be US' gimmick to play wherever in the country is the least hospitable for any given window

deep winter? Minnesota
mid summer? Death Valley
completely normal day any other time of the year? Philly

apparently they had it less than 25 days ago and have recovered so they still test positive, and FIFA and CONCACAF were aware and approved it

gregg likes him and no one else is giving much cause to force him out.

maybe Sargent will score a couple more and get back in the mix. hopefully pepi finds some form at Augsburg before the next window. MLS being back in season should help in general, as well

Dike's hamstring exploded on his debut at West Brom or he surely would have been in for this round of qualifiers.

gregg doesnt seem to like his overall game, in that he can finish crosses and such but doesnt contribute much else. its also not like hes playing against the highest competition

personally i think hes a great off the bench option for the US, someone who can come on late and finish a set piece seems a lot more useful than gyasi zardes. but gregg doesnt seem too interested in him generally

ok with mckennie out how about this:

play aaronson as a central attacking midfielder as it's his best position. that lets gregg have pulisic, pepi, weah and aaronson on the pitch at the same time

i know it doesn't fit the precious "system" but it does fit a better system: playing your best players at their preferred position

i mean that would be ok i guess but its more likely he slots in either Acosta or LDLT for Mckennie with rotation over the 3 game window. Maybe Busio or (ugh) Lleget in that mix too.

i think the case for moving one of the wings to midfield is better if we have all of pulisic/weah/aaronson/reyna available, reyna seems uncertain at best right now though

US roster for the final qualifying window (@MEX, PAN, @CRC):

GOALKEEPERS (3)
Ethan Horvath – Nottingham Forest
Sean Johnson – New York City FC
Zack Steffen – Manchester City

DEFENDERS (9)
Reggie Cannon – Boavista
Sergi๑o Dest – Barcelona
Aaron Long – New York Red Bulls
Erik Palmer-Brown – Troyes
Antonee Robinson – Fulham
Miles Robinson – Atlanta United
James Sands – Rangers
DeAndre Yedlin – Inter Miami CF
Walker Zimmerman – Nashville SC

MIDFIELDERS (6)
Kellyn Acosta – LAFC
Tyler Adams – RB Leipzig
Gianluca Busio – Venezia
Luca de la Torre – Heracles
Yunus Musah – Valencia
Cristian Roldan – Seattle Sounders FC

FORWARDS (9)
Brenden Aaronson – Red Bull Salzburg
Paul Arriola – FC Dallas
Jes๚s Ferreira – FC Dallas
Jordan Morris – Seattle Sounders FC
Jordan Pefok – Young Boys
Ricardo Pepi – Augsburg
Christian Pulisic – Chelsea
Gio Reyna – Borussia Dortmund
Tim Weah – Lille

Reminder that Turner and McKennie are both out injured. Surprised Dest is on there since he came off injured just yesterday. Cue griping from the Eurosnobs that Arriola and Roldan are on the roster (but no Lletget...Berhalter must've seen that PK attempt from yesterday).

dest got hurt a couple hours ago, i dont think its confirmed yet but berhalter all but said hes out on sportscenter. he name checked bello, scally, vines, or moore as replacements

otherwise, its a pretty unsurprising list. Erik palmer brown a bit surprising but shrug. i probably would have brought sargent over morris but other than that, best available
