We are officially eliminated

USA eliminated

Had everything sitting in our laps and we lose out on a f'n own goal.

I can't believe this.

******* disgusting.

Thanks god for the generation we have coming up. SOOOOOOO MUCH TALENT.

******* embarrassing. US Soccer is such a freaking joke. House needs to be cleaned from the top to the bottom.

Every single player (minus Pulisic) needs to be re-evaluated. If you aren't committed, GTFO.

I don't give a **** about the MLS vs International player debate. The roster needs to be the best 23 and 11 regardless if they play for an MLS team or in the Premier League/Bundesliga/Serie A/La Liga or wherever.

The 23 for our next competitive game(2019 Gold Cup) should look something like this:

GK
====
Evan Horvath--------Club Brugge
Bill Hamid------------DC United
William Yarborough--Leon

DF
=====
John Brooks-----Wolfsburg
Deandre Yedlin--Newcastle United
Matt Miazga------Chelsea/Vitesse
Greg Garza------Atlanta United
Walker Zimmerman---FC Dallas
Erik Palmer-Brown----Sp KC/Man City
Chris Gloster----------NYRB


MF
======
Darlington Nagbe----Portland
Christian Pulisic------Dortmund
Paul Arriola----------DC United
Kellyn Acosta-------FC Dallas
Sebastian Lleget---LA Galaxy
Lynden Gooch------Sunderland
Chris Durkin-------DC United
Weston McKinnie----Schalke
Michael Bradley-----Toronto FC

FW
=======
Bobby Wood----Hamburg
Andrew Carleton---Atlanta United
Josh Sargent-----Werder Bremen
Jordan Morris-----Seattle Sounders



End up starting something like this:


------------------------------Wood-------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------Pulisic------------------------------
-----Lleget-------------------------------------Arriola-----------
----------------Acosta---------------McKinnie-------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
--Garza-------Brooks-------Miazga-------------Yedlin---------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------Horvath------------------------------


Obviously, players will rise and fall over the next 2 years but this roster and lineup has a lot of talent and is young. Couple of those players(Gooch, Horvath, McKinnie) could really breakout. Would love to see another LB though.

I like it. Focus on the youth. Stop giving guys like Wondo and Besley a spot.

Left out Tim Weah

Michael Bradley is like 30. He will be 32. Unless he's provides leadership, he shouldn't be there.

And honestly, he doesn't seem like much of a leader.

Bradley has a role and is useful with a number 6 next to him. Put someone like Acosta or Nagbe next to him then he has too much space to cover at this age.

Aboslutely. 4-2-3-1 should be the form with Bradley/Acosta as the CDMs. Acosta can push up a little while Bradley stays home. Filter the ball to Pulisic and make goals.

You can't have Acosta and Bradley together. You need one or the other and then a number 6 covering their backsides.
