@KnowerOfBans How does the USMNT get him the ball more in transition?
He’ll feast in the group stages but it will be harder to feed him against better teams.
English
@KnowerOfBans Gio didn’t even register this window. Most of the articles and media content coming out of camp think his spot is less secure now if anything.
English
“Impressive” different standards for different players lmao
Gregg Beerholder 🍺@MLShater
After an impressive March window with USMNT, Gio is rewarded with minutes from his club. Let’s go! 🔥🇺🇸

16 year-old 🇺🇸💎 Mathis Albert with an incredible finish for Dortmund’s U23 squad 😂
Daxo@daxooo_
Mathis Albert accidentally puts Dortmund U23 ahead against the best team in the Regionalliga West. It is the first goal in senior football for the player born in 2009. #BVB

I’ve been devoting little time to the #USMNT lately..their WC outcome feels inevitable.
This is a nice way to frame it coming from The Athletic’s @PaulTenorio
Inspiration and hope are powerful movers. Hopefully this team can have a lasting impact 🇺🇸🇺🇸
The Athletic | Football@TheAthleticFC
With two straight defeats and even coach Mauricio Pochettino saying none of his players were in the world's top 100, is there any reason for the casual fan to get excited for home hopes at the World Cup? @PaulTenorio looks at how fans who've largely tuned out for the past four years should feel as they pick up their World Cup interest. And whether things are really as bad as they seem. 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/71684…

Interesting article from ESPN in the Netherlands (in Dutch) exploring Ricardo Pepi's tactical deficiencies with defensive responsibilities at PSV. The article argues he isn't good in the press and adds to PSV's defensive vulnerabilities #USMNT espn.nl/voetbal/artike…

@Burgermeister73 @TaylorTwellman Seem pretty obvious he’s referencing the comments Pulisic made about the last World Cup performance in this post?
English
@TheBolivianYank Don’t have *any* players at his level?
Not sure about this.
English
God damnit. If only he decided to play for the US🇺🇸.
We don’t got a level of player like him at all.
He’s so Neymar like, and I love it.
Bosnia got themselves a superstar in the making….🇧🇦
English
Guys, this is literally Haaland Bosnian Version in the making. Has all the tools. He reminds me of a mix btw Haaland and Woltemade. Tall (1.90m with **16**) quick, moves like a 1.70 guy, good shot, intelligent. Unbelievable potential, and already has 3 appearances in the mls w/16

Struck listening to USMNT players & coach yesterday how often they refer to “small details”, which implies fixable, but not often explaining what they are. There’s a point where misreading play or poor decisions not about missing details, but rather just not being good enough.
English
@KnowerOfBans If anyone is going to move the needle in a WC it’s Pulisic. Need him to be at his best and he hasn’t been for months for Milan and years for 🇺🇸
The excuses are getting out of hand.
English
That brother better be moving like Mbappe in 2018
Cody Cornett@codycornett
@usmntonly Overreaction. He's pacing himself for world cup. We saw peak Pulisic leading Serie A in G + A for half the season. He knows WC is only thing that matters this year and doesn't need to do a thing in these games.
English
@amcalabrese12 USMNT players play against top players and teams regularly.
Why is this still necessary?
English
Mauricio Pochettino: “This is painful, it’s the only way to improve. It’s the only way to see how the top players and teams compete. Today, we competed really well, like in the first half against Belgium. In small details, we lost the game.”

🗣️ “ US is getting grouped”
Not a chance w/ 48 teams. The #USMNT will advance and lose exactly when everyone expects them to.
Higher volume of talent but still not enough, which is a testament to how far behind they’ve always been.
At this point…

The #USMNT will need luck to beat a team like 🇵🇹 or 🇧🇪 in a knockout round. More often than not they won’t be lucky.
This team has to over perform their xG to have a chance. More often than not they won’t do that either.

@mckayjohns There’s no way based on the new format but it’s still a worrying 2 game stretch.

This is the starting XI that the pregame show (TNT, the USMNT partner) just displayed.
Why are you experimenting in your final game before announcing the World Cup roster? It seems like this cycle has been a waste in terms of preparation. No matter the outcome tonight.
English
@michael_usmnt It’s going to be either McKennie or Tillman.
Certainly will be an adjustment playing without a 9. We’ll see how things look 🤷
English
@St8ofFootball Its just weird...I dont mind the whole 352. Pulisic was arguably the best player in serie a to start the season playing in a 2. But, that was with a #9. Not an attacking mid next to him.....
English
This #USMNT XI may end up looking like:
Freese
Freeman Richards Trusty
Berhalter Morris
Weah Mckennie Jedi
Pulisic Tillman
With McKennie/Tillman potentially switched.
State of Football@St8ofFootball
🚨 #USMNT XI for #USAPOR There are a number of variations we could see based on the players. Potentially a 3-5-2 with Pulisic and Tillman leading the line. Think this makes sense given Berhalter and Morris both in as potential dual 6’s. Lots to learn tonight from this one.
