World Cup 2026 preparation
If you want to win the World Cup, you need to have eight games. We needed to add four more. We need to be ready to compete and to win the games. I think that it is for us our goal, and it's what we want to earn.
USMNT player selection
Yunus Musah is being reported as a coach's decision and I think that that's Yunus Musah's last hurrah with the national team at least under Mauricio Pochettino.
USMNT kit history
They handed out these leather suit carry bags. As we were getting off the bus, they said, 'Oh, and by the way, if you go in the front pocket, there's a gift for you.' It was an envelope with a check for $10,000 for everybody.
When they unveiled the denim jersey in 1994, there were crickets in the room. We were so upset, we were like, 'We're not wearing these things.'
Noah Kai Banks USMNT status
Noah Kai Banks went on Instagram and posted somewhat of a cryptic message: 'Sometimes if you say a lie long enough people believe it the truth.'
USMNT Goalkeeper selection
I'm surprised by the two names that are on there that aren't Matt Freeze and Matt Turner. I have a line that goes across; I'm not quite sure who the third goalkeeper is and I'm not sure that they know who the third goalkeeper is.
USMNT tactical preparation
Why would you waste this opportunity? Experimenting is starting. We've experimented now for whatever amount of months that is. It's a little over a year, and now you got to start fine-tuning.
Gio Reyna form
I'm actually happy to see Gio Reyna's name there just because, you know, you can talk about whatever you want with the club level and everything. But I think that every time he steps and puts on a U.S. jersey, he's been performing.
USMNT striker depth
I'm trying to think if we've ever been in a position where we've had four forwards like this that are scoring goals, ever. We've always had one or two.
USMNT Roster omissions
I'm surprised, actually, that Austin Trusty is in. I wonder if because Noah Kai Banks basically elected to not come in, that Austin Trusty was maybe more of a late add.
Haji Wright injury
Haji Wright apparently—and this is a quote from his coach—Frank Lampard said he has a 'sensation in his groin.' That sounds like a party to me.
