Pretty sure Pulisic will probably be held out of USMNT games with his latest Calf injury

That sucks for him and the USMNT. The only saving grace is that Sarachan is still the coach so he's not missing out being in camp with the new coach.

Looks like McKennie may have a slight knock, but scored his 1st Bundesliga goal. Bobby Wood picked a good time to start scoring for Hannover, picking up a brace today with a pretty sweet header. When he gets decent service, he's a pretty solid forward.

Ugh! No Pulsic, McKennie nor Adams for the friendlies. What a bummer for the kids and the team!

What happened? Knocks in league play?

Yep, they all suffered knocks in league play.

obviously an unpopular opinion, but MB definitely can still have a role on the USMNT going forward. he's really the only over-29 I can say that about.

I wouldn't be shocked to see him on the roster for the 2021 Confed Cup (if there even is one); I would be equally unshocked if his last national team appearance occurs in 2019

I hope these are the last games we see of Bradley as I'm hoping for a clean slate. I'd rather see him replaced by Weston McKennie moving forward.

There's there's this:

I understand what Guzan and Bradley are saying about having to put things in the past but **** them for saying it doesn't linger. If the most colossal failure in US Soccer history doesn't linger and motivate you, then I don't want to see you put on a US jersey again.

I think I'd agree with you on this but probably need to dive a bit deeper.
1. Is MB an automatic call up for USMNT? No
2. If called up, is he automatic starter? No
3. Is MB still a viable option in the player pool? Yes

No way he'd be in the national team picture beyond 2020, if he even makes it that far. There is a glut of central midfielders in the USMNT player pool that are younger with bigger upside in the pipeline.

I think it's going to depend on the system deployed by the new USMNT coach but I think McKennie/Acosta/Adams can all play Bradley's role.

Just saw another tweet referencing this quote. Screw bradley. He should never put on the USA shirt again. Eff that guy.

That loss should burn and you should be doing everything you can to make up for it. It clearly didnt mean anything to him then so why should it now?

Dammit, this pisses me off too much.
