Source: Scuffed (USMNT & World Cup) — #676: It's Belgium Week! Balo, Pulisic & Pepi saga headline things
Duration: 1h 15m
Transfer News
The transfer for Ricardo Pepi to Fulham is off. The clubs could not agree on when the deal would be made official, with Fulham wanting to retain the ability to pull out of the move before the window opened if Pepi suffered an injury.
USMNT World Cup Selection
If Gio Reyna cooks against Portugal and Belgium, then all bets are off at this point about this guy. I already think you can't bet against him, but if he looks good in these games, he's for sure going to the World Cup.
USMNT Tactical Analysis
When people talk about Folarin Balogun maybe not being a big deal, look at the impact this man has had on the pool. We didn't have Pulisic starting against Ecuador, Tyler Adams wasn't there, and you didn't even notice it because of the way he stretches them and battles with center backs.
USMNT Roster Selection
Yunus Musah should be in this camp. Is he a better player? Can he give you a better chance of winning once you get to that big game late in the World Cup? Yes, without a doubt.
USMNT Player Form
Pulisic, this World Cup, it's about our best players playing their best. To see him get a goal contribution but also just look good, have some pop, I'll single that out.
Refereeing/Match Analysis
Johnny Cardoso committed what some are calling maybe the most obvious second yellow of all time against Brahim Diaz, but for whatever reason the ref decided to show him some mercy.
USMNT Manager History
Jesse Marsch loves attention. He loves to paint himself as some type of sympathetic figure. It astounds me how he can be so willing to be so forthcoming with this information about the USMNT job three years later.
USMNT Manager/Player Relations
I would be derelict in my duty if I did not pick up the phone. I'd pay five dollars to hear Pochettino say that.
USMNT Recruitment
I have a three horsemen list of dual nationals: Davion Kimbrough, Jelani McGee, and Montrell Culbreath. Nothing will stop me from getting these three into the U.S. Men's National Team.
USMNT Prospect Analysis
Even in games where he hasn't had his best, Jack McGlynn does things effortlessly. He receives a ball and is able to turn and play an incisive through ball with his left foot. There is no one who does this as easily as he does.
