Yea Pepi has not looked great recently that is for sure. His seat on the plane right now is definitely courtesy of who else at the moment.

It’s been said on here plenty, but man if we have an effective 9 the ceiling on this team is really high.

Glad he’s responding well to the position change after Jedi stole LB from him.

Turns out Dike and Hoppe are idiots. I don't care if you don't feel like you haven't gotten a fair chance (which Gregg has given both of them a shot), this will never help your case.

It had something to do with shitting on Gregg because we lost to Canada, which is fine, I doubt it was rooted in much research, but whatever.

Dike liking that is so dumb on his part.

It was Gregg's post game comments about how dominant the US was in the Canada match; Stephen A didn't appreciate our coach saying we were dominant when we lost 2-0

If there's one person I want to get soccer takes from, it's Stephen A Smith.

Stephen A definitely knows soccer, but I really wish they’d reach out to Ja Rule and get his opinion

Any chance roster size is increased from 23 to 26 similar to Euro as a result of Covid? We could add more strikers and hope to find one of then in form.

I've honestly never considered this, but I bet that is something FIFA does along with the five subs.

I mean, we still got countries playing in front of empty stadiums.

Good write up on the athletic outlining where everyone in the player pool stands.

locked in: Adams, Dest, McKennie, Pulisic, Musah, Jedi

surefire callup, fighting to start: reyna, miles robinson, steffen, turner, aaronson, acosta, richards, weah, zimmerman, pepi

in the mix: basically everyone else

Looking back on the article, I think Reyna has to be in this category as well.

I know it's because of injuries that he is not, but he has a special quality that pretty much no one else has.

Just once, I hope Gregg considers a front three of Pulisic-Weah-Reyna

What harm would that do? Because it's not like our more tradition strikers are giving us anything.

At this point, you could tell me any USMNT-eligible striker will end up on the plane to Qatar, and I’d believe it.

That competition is wide open over the next several months. Some kid we’ve never heard of in MLS can ball out and win a spot with how poor we are at the position right now.

If we take Zardes, I hope he graces the world stage with one of his patented derp goals. It would be glorious.
