Source: Scuffed (USMNT & World Cup) — #674: World Cup kits! Plus a roundup of the weekend action, mostly at striker and midfield
Duration: 58 min
Benja Cremaschi injury
Benja Cremaschi... he has a meniscus tear and I think he is getting surgery on it and so his season has been over, man. It's a shame because it had just started.
USMNT World Cup kits
It does kind of read to me like Tyler Adams hijacked the process... they not only are these just kits for right now in this World Cup, the players are also kind of involved in trying to make an identity for the men's national team.
Everyone from Henry Bushnell at The Athletic to Steven Goff at Yahoo... everyone's come out with a story of like, yo, the players have been involved in the process of designing the kits very much more involved than they were in 2022.
The boys said they wanted something to wear to the club... and it seems like they were very much more involved in the Navy one than they were like the striped one.
Ricardo Pepi USMNT selection
I do think there is value in sort of the mystical goal scorer thing... I wouldn't mind [Ricardo Pepi] being an option in June. You throw him on there, he's going to want with all his heart to score.
James Sands injury
James Sands has hurt himself out for the season... he's having ankle surgery. It's a shame. He's out for the World Cup, too.
Johnny Cardoso form
Johnny Cardoso... this is the best probably Johnny's looked for Atleti since coming back. He's showing signs of the best parts of Johnny, the Johnny that would show up for Betis against Real Madrid.
Tanner Tessman form
Tanner Tessman basically lost his spot in the midfield at Lyon... he's lost some ground in the pecking order. He's losing the public approval as well.
Folarin Balogun form
Balogun is two goals away from matching his non-penalty goal tally from the 22-goal season... he's been everything that we've hoped that he would be.
Malik Tillman form
Malik Tillman... he missed a left-footed shot 1v1 with the keeper that would have made it 2-0... but dude was extremely dangerous throughout this game.
Johnny Cardoso USMNT status
I'm not going to believe in it until I see it for like two matches. Time is short for him to build himself back up.
