USMNT recruitment
We're hearing reports that Noah Kai Banks is maybe thinking Germany. He's thinking Germany at this point. I think what's interesting is Noah Kai Banks has turned off his comments on his Instagram page because he was just getting heat from U.S. fans.
If his heart is to play only for Germany, that's where he's going to focus his time. There's nothing you can do if a guy says, 'I don't want to play for your nation.'
Mexico national team / World Cup injury
Luis Miguel Malagon ruptured his Achilles tendon. Mexico is down their number one goalkeeper for the World Cup. That's got to be a shock to the system.
Johnny Cardoso / USMNT depth
I find it hard to believe we are going to leave off the roster a guy that is starting at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. If the U.S. national team has gotten to that point where we're leaving off guys starting in the Round of 16, that's progress, baby.
Gio Reyna / USMNT World Cup roster
I need a few more months to make that decision on Gio Reyna. I'm going to stay on the fence for now.
MLS manager sacking
Orlando City parting ways with Oscar Pareja. It makes you wonder why not just make that move when the new coach could come in in the offseason and then maybe put their stamp on the players that they want to sign.
USMNT tactical analysis
Tyler Adams is at his best when he's on the hunt and when he can go and chase down an idea or if he can sniff something out and break up a play a little bit higher up the field. If we have him hold and sit, we're not using the best of Tyler Adams.
World Cup injury watch
Alphonso Davies has strained his right hamstring. It was heartbreaking. I don't care what happens to Canada, if I'm being completely honest, but I care about players. It's been a tough run for him.
USMNT squad selection
I'd be disappointed and a little bit surprised if Diego Luna doesn't make the World Cup roster because I do think that he brings something a little bit different.
CONCACAF Champions Cup
I wouldn't bet against San Diego FC even without all those players. They're fantastic to watch. They're a really good team. They have a really good mentality and they're all on the same page.
