Official Team USA Soccer Thread

I've seen pretty much every Philadelphia Union match since the World Cup break. That kid is the real deal. I was skeptical at first, but he has creativity and instincts most American players don't possess. He's been the best player in MLS aside from Messi and Griezmann since July 16th.

Really good window to get a peek at the future. Safe to say Cavan Sullivan will be a full NT player going forward, difficult to see him going back to U20 or Olympic pools. He looks like he can contribute NOW. Both of the U20 9's (Hall and Ellis) impressed IMO, depth at that spot continues to add. GK still a bit murky, but thought Kochen and Schwake did well enough to get extended looks. Gozo and Mehmeti, maybe not quite NT ready. The PT seemed to dwindle, so it probably tracks.

beat canada 1-0. the four games went really well

Was not a pretty match, but important for Pochettino to beat Marsch considering everything he's said recently.

Marsch is jackass.

Looks like Poch is going to bail on the USMNT.

His buyout is only $10 million so time to look for another.

I just saw a headline, Pep Guardiola to be a top target.

Highly doubtful and he's going to come under a spotlight in the next few months if and when the PL finally punishes Manchester City.

Not a huge fan of city and dont really like Pep. But given this team. I would take Pep in a heart beat.

wow, well that was quick. does this mean he didn't really have any good offers from anyone else this summer so he just stuck with the usa?

i suppose the good news is that we're still very early in the cycle, and he did bring in a lot of young, exciting prospects
timing is terrible, they are in camp right now. couldn't keep this quiet for a week?

I am really bummed by the possibility of losing Poch… but I do see 10 million as a lot for a coach.
It feels like Italy all over again, though….Guardiola rumored to be the favorite to take over, but it won’t happen. And let’s be real, Pep is not—in my opinion—the right person for the job. He’s never had a team of players that aren’t superstars and he has never not been involved in the daily coaching sessions that a club coach enjoys vs a national team coach. Just like I was saying with Italy, USA should hire Antonio Conte for their next WC run

How long was Poch's contract?

Next guy is probably going to have to have a contract through 2030 WC.
