Rumor out of Dortmund is that Mathis Albert will travel with the Dortmund first team during the Club WC this summer.

The Jedi situation may be even worse than the Pulisic one. Jedi played a ton of minutes for Fulham this year. But he has now missed two straight USMNT camps because the Federation keeps caving to the requests from the teams.

The whole thing is a mess. I mean how do we not even try to contact Nathaniel Brown as part of the 60 man roster at the very least? The guy is 21 and a solid starter in the Bundesliga for a team that finished 3rd in the league I am really disillusioned right now.

I don’t think we have talked about left back. Seems odd that Tolkin, after having a good first season in the Bundesliga, while on a terrible team, was passed over for Arfsten and Jones.

Officially he was unavailable due to the Club World Cup, same as Weston and Weah. Unofficially I believe he was not going to be called even if he was available. He is healthy.

Reading between the lines here, Poch may be making a general statement or he may be talking about some specific players in this quote....hard to say https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:56ojnkucm6ylfmz3h3otztfh/bafkreihh3i2srmy5eqjv5zqxlgtzz2w366twvwh4gg6bca2d4d2cgigwmy@jpeg

I don't know what it is about White, but he seems so pedestrian. I give him a lot of credit for producing but the highlights I watch, I never see something that jumps off the screen to me or something that looks special. He has ground out a nice journeyman career that seems to be flourishing...

Here is what I will be watching (or cringe watching) as the case may be: How does Dest look in the Poch offense? Will a keeper besides Turner step up and take the reigns? Will Tillman and Johnny finally get closer to their club form against Concacaf teams? Is Luna the real deal? With only 2...

There is enough talent still on the team to do something this summer but I am certainly not holding my breath after what we saw last camp with arguably a better roster. ================ Picking 4 keepers with out one of them being Kochen makes almost no sense. I don't see any value in having...

I still think he picked the wrong Aaronson, again. ================================ Big Agy is fun to root for but he has not had a good season in MLS. Rewarding White, Luna and Sebb all makes sense but I think it sends a bad message picking a guy who is a bit out of form in Agy over a guy...

I like it accept for Tillman. He does not have the engine to play a wing back IMO. The outside guys in a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-3 have to run their asses off.

It looks like the decision to not play came from Pulisic himself, although I am sure Milan had some influence on his decision ------------------------ https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:fszkonu52r574rel63n65odv/bafkreifblfc4wsy5znhstyojqfpgsl554sqfrstfkvmx24oxzmbbj7ryma@jpeg

Some details are coming out: Musah was picked for the roster and with drew due to personal reasons Sargent was not included due to a footballing decision (ie Poch must not rate him). They wanted to pick Jedi right up to the very end but the Fulham medical staff convinced them to let him rest

I can't make heads or tails out of this roster and I am really trying to find the codex. There is no consistency in terms of players needing a rest or not. Jedi, Pulisic, Sargent, Paxton and Scally all played a good amount of minutes and were left off the roster. But then so did Adams...

What time is the roster being released today?
