The US doesn’t need to declare a national holiday if we beat England. We already have a national holiday for beating England.

@RickWill0 @CBSSportsGolazo Rick!

"This is a pretty solid roster." @ReportYank is looking forward to seeing what the latest USMNT roster can do at the Nations League. 🇺🇸

What’s your pre-game meal?

There’s always that one guy in your section standing up. @ManagerTactical

@Ultimatekai498 Just taking a break from content. But I've committed to putting out some videos in October.

@ReportYank Hey Sam where you been at bro ?

USMNT just decided to play at 100 mph and Oman can't keep up. Incredible stuff.

@kkrwhduffy Taking a break from content at the moment

@ReportYank when will we see/hear more episodes? Hope all is well!

@bob_morocco @AlexiLalas Do you know the name of the study? I’d like to check it out.

We get caught up attaching too much weight/reason to systems, tactics, and formations. It's understandable. We want to find reason in the randomness of the game. But I think there's no team sport that has more player autonomy and is less reliant on coaching/tactics than soccer.

@bob_morocco @AlexiLalas And their data can’t identify “good coaches” vs “bad coaches”.

@bob_morocco @AlexiLalas But their conclusions leave a lot to be desired. Essentially, they say coaches do impact certain things in certain sports, but there is no guarantee that the impact from the individual coach will sustain season to season.

Brenden Aaronson sent off after two of the softer yellows I've seen.

I know there's mixed opinions on this, but I absolutely love Ray Hudson.

@chriskilroy @jakehteach Yeah this is the return of GGG. Gotta imagine all hands will be on deck.

@jakehteach @ReportYank Yeah but we have another camp in October. So it wouldn’t be a long wait. But obviously whatever his camp and GGG think is best. And he hasn’t worked with GB yet actually…

Pepi will get his looks for PSV this season. No doubt about that, but with Sargent starting the season hot and Balo being Balo, you have to wonder about the USMNT Striker pecking order for September Friendlies.

The strongest interest for Folarin Balogun until now has been from AS Monaco, and they remain interested - I expect new bid for Balogun soon. Let’s see if English clubs will try too, but at the moment it’s just about being informed rather than any concrete negotiations. With Chelsea, the links come because Balogun shares an agent with Romeo Lavia, but I’m not aware of direct contacts between Chelsea and Arsenal, no bids, it’s just normal contacts between agents, not a proper negotiation.

@MLS_Buzz The path for "2nd tier" SA exports has always been Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Russia. These are the leagues that have been affected by MLS buying up 2nd tier SA talent. I'd like to see that comparison. I'd bet it's favorable.

Name one league outside of Europe that’s buying young players from Europe and South America and selling them for $15 million or more You can’t. MLS is in its own division as a non-European selling league
