@TheBolivianYank He’s gonna be a baller for sure. I actually dont mind if they make the choice to go. Still hurts but USSF did all they could do with he and Esmir. Family roots run deep, simple as that.

HUGE for the Union.
With his Bosnian roots (and EU passport), this kid will transfer to a European side for a chunk of change in no time. He’s very talented. Also very likely we lose him to Bosnia like Esmir.

@SkyPointSteve @TheBolivianYank The intensity and pressure still isn’t the same in the US. Doesn’t mean MLS can’t be a good stepping stone and I’m excited for the next generation of players that are breaking through. Agree on the European players though, they are absolutely playing like ass. That’s undeniable.
English
@tylerECU @TheBolivianYank He may have been right, but today, he is not. There’s virtually zero difference as it pertains to NT performances if a player is in MLS, Championship, Belgian JL, Eredivisie. Unless a NT player is in a top 5 league or CL-level club.
Our problem, currently? Top Euros failing.
English
It’s funny to see our media eat out of Poch’s hand, but when Jurgen Klinsmann was here 12+ years ago and chose to tell the TRUTH about our football, they turned on him and chose to instead try and bury him and his career.
Madison Crews@MadisonCrews7
Intensity is not something this team can turn on and off. Mauricio Pochettino, Tim Ream, and Chris Richards are all aligned. It has to be there from start to finish. My latest on @SoccerDownHere on why that standard is so important for this #USMNT ⬇️ soccerdownhere.net/post/usmnt-int…

@SkyPointSteve @TheBolivianYank Jurgen was and is a shit manager. You don’t have to explain it to me as I remember it quite vividly. However he was right about MLS. Both can be and are true. This is what I am referring to: nbcsports.com/soccer/news/ju…
English
@tylerECU @TheBolivianYank He didn't make enemies because of that.
It was because he was a tactically inept and continued to play favorites and bring in guys past it, playing out of position.
He also leaned heavily on quite a few MLS players.
The revisionist history around JK's tenure is shocking
English
@SkyPointSteve @TheBolivianYank Who said anything about blaming MLS? Jurgen was critical of players who had the talent to play in the top euro leagues not stepping out of their comfort zones and doing so. And he made some enemies because of that. Poch clearly seems to be more inclined to not rock the boat.
English
@tylerECU @TheBolivianYank MLS is the blame for European players consistently under performing while the previous generation constantly played above their club-level skill?
English
Not happening brother you’re stuck with woke scuffed
no chill Ron@CostaRecks
@scuffedpod Can we just get Adam back please 😅
English
@scuffedpod @v_sospiffy are you behind the TNT Desk rocking the Hollywood keeper kit lol? I had to double take cause I swear it was you
English
@KnowerOfBans @THE_SKI_1 That’s how he got got on his last one. Urinalysis showed 4 prescription drugs and THC in his system. So understandable that he refused this time around. But in reality he just needs a chauffeur. Not sure why he hasn’t done it before.
English
@THE_SKI_1 Apparently he passed the breathalyzer and refused the piss test. Not saying he’s innocent but piss tests being used for DUIs is unconstitutional because they don’t prove you were under their immediate influence during the incident
English
Tiger Woods, Jon Jones, Bret Favre.... Not great humans, but got damn if they ain't Goats. High performing humans have issues, it's not new.
Joe Osborne@JTFOz
Can we freely admit that Tiger is an asshole?
English
@joshua_reports @scuffedpod The fact that he was deciding between ‘01 Canada and the USMNT just shows what the decision making process always has been. You typically pick the best team that you can realistically play for. Pretty simple.
English
How in the world does Landon think this commentary is necessary? Of all the things to talk about, he’s choosing to pick on this kid while the USSF is actively trying to get him into a #USMNT camp with us again.
Having the option to play for Canada in 2001 doesn’t compare sorry.

@The_Boricua_AMC @olympicbean Not to mention the eastern conference was at its fucking absolute WEAKEST. They had the bad boy sequel pistons and that was it. Celtics sucked Magic sucked raptors sucked hawks sucked. Dwade should’ve won rookie of the year actually

@40wheels @TheBolivianYank @tomsan106 Tbf how many of those thousands are top level footballers? Developing a relationship with the ball starts at a young age.
English
@TheBolivianYank @tomsan106 Nope. China has thousands of schools to breed athletes. That’s what you want here? Ridiculous. Let kids be kids.

40Wheels@40wheels
I’m advocating for kids to have a normal American childhood, not going into intense academies or working abroad before they’re 18 and losing all that. Look how depressed Pulisic was he had to fly private to make his prom. And size does matter because overdevelopment is not good for kids. You shouldn’t start training intensely until your body is ready It’s already been shown how much over training has hurt our children.
English
False. Read up on @tomsan106. He’s the reason why the current Japan crop are so good technically. To have that high caliber of player, he preaches it all begins when you could walk.
40Wheels@40wheels
I agree that club soccer is ridiculous to pay $3000yr for kids, but you don’t need to develop talent that young anyway. Doesn’t really need to start until high school. The proof is in our other major sports - kids don’t get big until high school anyway there’s no point in spending so much money before then.
English
@BlakeEM_ @ByDougMcIntyre IIRC Brooks’ fourth cap was the first game of the World Cup. And Green’s first cap was the Belgium game. So we have brought young players with limited Bundesliga experience (and even more limited USMNT reps) to the World Cup before
English
@tylerECU @ByDougMcIntyre Brooks USMNT debut was in 2013 and Green didn’t start a game
English
Mauricio Pochettino sure doesn’t sound like he’s closed the door on having Noahkai Banks with the #USMNT for the World Cup.
English
@BlakeEM_ @ByDougMcIntyre Not like we don’t have a track record here guys. 2014? John Anthony Brooks and Julian Green?
English
@ByDougMcIntyre He’s not just gonna bring the kid in and start him in a World Cup match tho
English
@Jadentheman1 @ProspectsUsmnt 100%. It’s his choice. He undoubtedly feels a major connection there. And if given the choice he would absolutely play for DFB. We are the number two here that’s just what it is. If it works out great, if not then he’s still that guy and hopefully he kills it with them
English
@tylerECU @ProspectsUsmnt He’s German developed and probably most integrated in their culture.
English
So now we can officially say Banks isn’t on the roster. All reporting (German and US) says he declined an invite.
Being in this camp wouldn’t permanently tie him to USA. There was no reason to decline unless he’s just waiting for Germany to finalize his expected decision soon.
“Waiting things out because he’s conflicted” isn’t going to ingratiate him with the US audience. He could’ve still dropped a “oh but wait I got some news” next window, saved himself backlash, and showed up at this camp.
He’s going to make a permanent decision either in June or September, and we know by now he wants the Germany option to materialize as he’s willing to take the risk on burning the US bridge with (probably won’t fully burn it, but it’ll create a mess for him).
US is only a “full-on backup plan” if Germany falls apart. Not going to make the switch yet because he probably doesn’t feel it’s finalized what he’s getting from Germany, but it’ll be an upset if he ever ends up in another US camp.
English
@tommiedotjpg Even crazier that they had Rasheed the season prior as well iirc.
English
@KnowerOfBans @coryjoejoe It’s not even really about Adams versus Johnny tbf. He’s trying to make it over guys like Roldan, Luna, Morris, Tessmann, etc. Tyler is starting as long as he is healthy.
English
@coryjoejoe Adams scored a 35 yard screamer to win a nations league. Even as limited as he is as a player, Adams has done more to win matches than Johnny ever has. Results not profiles.
English
Johnny’s game yesterday epitomized everything about him as a player.
At his best, was very comfortable on the ball, took up good defensive positions, great goal
At his worst, sleeping on a goal, really shady back pass
The question is can the US afford the latter in a WC?
