im on the fence. would have maybe preferred to use that money on a striker and promote hudson-odoi to 1st team instead. but anything to get willian out of the lineup more often.

So the plane Emiliano Sala was on disappeared. Right after he signed with Cardiff too. They think it went down into the ocean. Hopefully they're ok, but its not looking good.

Pretty excited about the next generation of players for the National Team. This is the first round of kids that grew up with MLS academies existing their entire youth careers even if those academies have a long way to go still. Improving domestic youth development is the only way the U.S. will break into being a top tier side depending on foreign academies\dual nationals isn't going to be enough.

We do have some decent depth, which is nice.

Steffen
Yedlin-Brooks-Miazga-Robinson
McKennie-Adams
Pulisic
Weah-Sargeant-Wood

That is my hopeful future lineup, although i dont really think Weah or Wood are wingers. Basically, we are solid in most spots besides the wings. Berhalter plays a defensive 433, but im not sure that is the best setup with our current players.
