Pulisic is showing the truth, while he is something special he is showing we need our players to get over to Europe. Playing against top notch competition week in and week out over in Europe will only improve our players.

I agree. The MLS sucks in terms of preparing you to face top international clubs

If they'd quit watering that shut down by adding a new team every month it might have the chance to grow into a fairly respectable league.

They need to figure out how to do both - grow MLS to be a respectable league and get young players over to Europe for development in the meantime. Adding more teams to MLS isn't going to help.

JK was right to look for outside-MLS development and expanding the talent pool beyond our boarders.

Yep I don't see how it would hurt to have our top players playing in England, Spain, Italy, and Germany.

It's best for the players and the national team, but it kills the MLS business model.

A shame Pulisic is not playing with the U20s.

1-1 tie in the Venz friendly. Figured we'd look a lot better considering we got a lot guys back healthy (Brooks, Johnson, etc). I figured wrong.

Pulisic was out there doing Pulisic things though. Is it possible to just field a team of Pulisic clones?

The result really doesn't matter since it was a friendly, but I agree. They looked out of sync most of the night, and really could never get a good pass in the final third that killed most of their scoring chances. I was pretty disappointed, obviously they'll need to be better in the qualifiers.

Draw will not happen in Mexico. That will be a loss.

T&T win required and a running of the table after Mexico.

I disagree that Mexico is some guarantee L. A draw is very possible.

We're making the WC. That is the last of my concerns at the moment.

Mexico is currently the superior side, A team on A team.

This isn't a best of 7 series. All we have to do is find a way to come out of there with at least a draw after 90 minutes
Ha. Sure. Steal one. You never know, I just would not bank on it.

Gee. Who would've thought bringing Arena back might be a misfire? :L
