Yeah not to pile in mrmill here but Lleget has been one of the better MLS players on the MNT.


Pile on him as much as you'd like because he deserves it. Dude thinks our whole USMNT roster should be European based players even if they can't log any minutes at their club.

I've also never said this.

Well I for one am glad you're here, even if you're wrong sometimes.



I need someone to take the heat off me.

I appreciate that. And aren't we all wrong sometimes?

Getting a bit hostile. We just have different ideas about things. No reason to say I deserve to be piled on. We'll see how he plays in the upcoming friendlies. I've just never rated him.


I grew up in a small town back in the day when soccer wasn't a mainstream sport and no one knew anything about the USMNT. I'm just happy to have people to discuss the player pool with, even if I think they're totally wrong. It's still a new experience to me to argue about the players on the USMNT with other sports fans.

You're in luck! The position of fan club VP has been vacant for ~12 years.

Bump for today's match. Don't forget to DVR it if at work!

Weird, I just pulled up his stats and he hasn't played for the US since 2016, presumably the Copa that summer. I would have thought he was still playing in the qualifications for wc2018.

What are dues like for the club? A fan of Beckerman's dreads wants to know.

Speaking of, I just went and changed into this bad boy.



(Not a picture of my actual jersey, but I have the exact same one.)

What about that rockin' quilt? Do you have one of those?

I don't remember than jersey.

No on the quilt.

It was one of those between-WC designs.

Edit - looks like there's been a late change.

Lletget shouldn't get called up.. Definitely shouldn't start.

I'm sure he'll stink today now that I'm going to stick up for him, but he actually has been one of our more reliable NT players.

Lol. Yes, apparently some of y'all did.

I will say the lineup is kind of strange, no real striker.

Does the US really have a true striker? Sargeant? I'll be honest that I don't know what real role a lot of the young guys play.

It really annoys me that we are playing up the fact that we finally have players that play with Ronaldo and Messi.

That was a nice switch from McKennie

He really might be. Lots of guys that have never quite lived up to their potential: Wood, Morris, Johansson, Zardes.

Weah and Sargent are probably the other true strikers in our active pool, Soto has potential as well.

Pretty sure Weah is more of a winger

I was fine with including Lletget in teh starting lineup, but that was when I thought he would be in the midfield.
oh no

Dest took 2-3 too many steps to make that decision. He had options

I'm not caught up so haven't ready anything since the match started. It's so nice to see us more athletic and skilled than our opponents.

I would argue Wood lived up to his potential but his knees fell apart in the process. He had some really big goals for USNT.

I like the potential of Llanez a lot... But I don't think Weah is going to pan out. Hopefully he proves me wrong.
