Swish Center

@lbf_mas His willingness to get to the rim in the playoffs has been an insane development

This is a middie all year lmaooo

@USMNTTAKES The real fuck it would be to bring in Musah, I’d be hype

So much for that.. Berhalter and Roldan it is.

@USKeeper Adams is my choice. Vocal leader in the spine of the team

While Christian Pulisic has captained the #USMNT more than anyone over the last two cycles, he still wouldn’t be my first or second choice to wear the armband. For the 2026 #WorldCup, my choice for USMNT captain would be Tyler Adams or Chris Richards.

@USKeeper I agree. The question I have is who do you pair with him to stay home while he hunts

It’s become very clear from the last window that a true destroyer like Tyler Adams is essential in front of a three or four center back setup for the #USMNT.

@11Yanks I fear this means we get both Berhalter AND Rodon now

Yeah he ain't going

@mdorans_ You wouldn’t believe how high I was on Toure’ Murray

“Yall wasn’t here for Alexey Shved” has actually become one of the most overrated statements. Alexey Shved is a mainstream pull. Everyone knows he was a Knick now. Who was here for Maurice Ndour and Travis Wear? Who was here for Andy Rautins and Ronny Turiaf?

@11Yanks Not that Tessmann is a better player than Johnny by any means, but do you think he’d be better suited to pair with Tyler than Johnny? I ask bc I like Tessmanns passing ability and I think he could sit back and support the defense so Tyler can go hunt and be a destroyer

My USMNT starting 11 against Paraguay in the World Cup. Off the bench offensively: Pepi, Wright, Tillman, Dest, Reyna Off the bench defensively: Ream, Tessmann, McKenzie, Morris, Scally

@_captainpulisic Not a debate but I was very impressed by Agyemangs growth this year

the only 3 strikers we’ve ever really needed. idk why it’s still as debate

@SbondyNBA Fully understand that perspective. For me, I celebrate his fandom and his loyalty to the city if not the franchise. I certainly do not glorify his Knicks career even if he was the “star” during some of my formative years as a fan

The celebration of Stephon Marbury is such a strange thing. He was a terrible Knick. Dragged down the franchise for five years, won zero playoff games.

@BearsPurgatory I would be very okay with this. Personally, I’d take off Johnny put Wes in his spot and Tillman in Wes’ spot. If Freeman is playing for Villarreal I’d play him over McKenzie but I see the argument for both.

This is the best lineup. If we don’t play a 3 back system we very well may get grouped. The best option for the #USMNT🇺🇸 is to play a 3-4-2-1✍️. Pochettino needs to stop tinkering and goofing around and stick to this. I’ve done the work for you, Poch👨‍💻. Use this lineup and we will make some noise. We should compete in this #WorldCup🏆. Anything less is a failure and unforgivable. Side note, I prefer this lineup orientation even though it’s opposite what lineup builder wants. Get over it🤫.

@chrisras1980 @MLSTransfers I think he’s being unfairly grouped with Berhalter, who I thought was decent in the first half but dreadful in the second half

@MLSTransfers Am I the only one that thought Morris was good?

1) Pulisic is a lost soul. Needs to find form desperately back in Milan 2) Berhalter and Morris are limited technically it’s hard to build the game through them. Still did a nice job but can only go so far 3) Is Trusty the answer at CB? Looked fine but not confident #USMNT

@11Yanks 1. I thought Freeman looked good too. That’s probably my preferred back 3 at this point 2. I think Tyler Adams’ absence can’t be overstated 3. I enjoyed Gio’s cameo tn

I will say this. At least Freese, Richards & Trusty looked reasonably solid today. That's several problems solved right there.

@11Yanks @Jatochhhhhhhhh FWIW I agree with your point. Can only develop so much in training and on the bench. Needs first team minutes to reach his potential

@SwishCenter @Jatochhhhhhhhh Ahhh my bad. 20 then.

At some point, Diego Kochen 🇺🇸 needs to consider the diminishing returns of being a Barcelona squad player forever. Needs to seriously consider a move this summer, either a loan or full transfer.

@11Yanks @Jatochhhhhhhhh His birthday is March 19, 2006

@Jatochhhhhhhhh He's 21

@USMNTTAKES Dest

Who else on the USMNT is scoring this?

@KnicksCentral Feels aggressive for a late first round pick. Totally different than Knox who was a top 10 pick and was taken directly ahead of some serious talent

Pacome Dadiet may be the biggest Knicks draft bust since Kevin Knox Complete non factor

@MichaelRedd_ @MarcJSpears Deadass one of the only reasonable people on this app. Keep doing what you’re doing man, we all appreciate you.

That's not really what the article says, if I'm reading it correctly. No need to do Ben (or @MarcJSpears) like that, Legion. I rock with you, but if I'm reading the proper article, Ben said he's getting his body full right before he really puts his name out there for free agency. Says he's working out 2-a-days. And this -- owning a team, not actually being an angler -- seems like a hobby and side business in the meantime. The narrative around Ben is already bad -- and he even admits some of that is deserved for past mistakes. No need to lean further into that. Appreciate you brother!

@StanUsmnt Perfectly weighted ball by Tolkin, I liked his play next to Trusty on the left side. I think both of them are NT quality even if not every game starter quality

Another really special sequence. This time it leads to a goal. When you just keep creating these moments with ball movement and player movement goals will come. It’s inevitable. 7 players touch it. None more than twice. No one holds it for more than 1-2 sec, runs react to ball

@ProspectsUsmnt I liked him as the RCB last night where he had the freedom to get forward when he had coverage but was not necessarily relied on the provide width. He might be our best option there

Where are all the USMNT fans that thought he was crap because the youngest player on the National Team had a very average first 10+ games, while often being used in a tactical way that doesn’t fit him? It’s so obvious that Freeman has it. If you can’t see that, I don’t know what you’re watching. I’m assuming most who weren’t convinced hadn’t watched him at all other than his first 10+ senior team games. We’ve seen it everywhere else for years. Just took a little time, and boom, two goals against Uruguay. Also want to address the idea I’ve seen from some that he’s not technical. When you’re 6’3 and highly athletic, you don’t need to be extremely technical. You just need to be moderately technical, and it’ll play like you’re very technical. The requirements are different based on your physical/athletic profile. As Freeman showed on that second goal, he’s technical enough for a player of any profile, and when you consider how athletic he is, obviously being moderately technical is just a nightmare combination to defend. Pochettino is absolutely right to lean into investing in his development. The only young player he’s taken a real liking too, and not a bad choice. Freeman will be one of our best players within a few more years.
