That was a hell of a game. A number of guys fighting for spots on the roster put their best foot forward.

I think Diego Luna has put himself not only position as a lock to make the WC roster but to get serious minutes in the WC.

For all the criticisms of Luna (and some are legit), guy just turns it on for big games and leaves everything on the field.

You can't field a full team of players like that, but there's definitely a place for them on your roster.

I think he bumps Aaronsen. Luna brings energy, toughness and he moves through the levels of play in a way that allows others to get open. Plus, he contributes offensively whereas Aaronsen has just never been able make those finishes or assists.

Honestly, I'd like to see a lot of these guys start when we play the Pot 4 nasty. Keep our regulars fresh for later rounds. Nice to have some legit depth.

I couldn't watch last night. Might watch the recording tonight. Looking forward to it.

I've been a big Luna fan since he first started getting call ups with the first team. Our first team needs his energy. ...but Freeman!! I've been a huge critic. He showed very little if not nothing going back to both summer cups and through all the fall intl windows until yesterday. I was shocked at the notifications I was getting last night.

Good things happen when he's on the field. It's really that simple for me.

i was going to ask if any of y'all know if this was a mostly first choice player lineup for Uruguay. I just started watching my recording and announcer just said it was almost completely different than the lineup that faced Mexico a few days prior, but I'm not familiar enough with most of their players

Was a pretty good group. Had players from ManU (Ugarte), Tottenham (Bentancur), Napoli (Olivera) and Barca (Araujo) in the starting lineup.

Yeah looking at Transfermarkt, this starting lineup had 7 of their top 10 players in terms of valuation.

Their top 2 guys were out: Valverde and Nunez

Our lineup had Zero from our top 10 valued players. (Dest and Flo tie for 11th)

You should watch more MLS and you'd know exactly who he is.

He's what USA soccer fans have dreamt of for years and the answer to the argument about "If our best athletes chose soccer instead of other sports". His dad was an NFL wide receiver and Alex chose soccer. Big timer

yeah, I pretty much stopped watching MLS when it went to a subscription on top of a subscription on Apple TV+

the second half v Uruguay was quite sloppy. USA was never threatened, but they had very little of the ball despite playing man-up for most of it and had way too many bad touches and give-aways. ...however, that 5th goal, the ball in from Gio and the flick onto the net by Tessman, was chef's kiss.

Honestly it's splitting hairs outside our top 3 (Pulisic, Robinson and Tillman). There are 11 guys within 4M euro plus or minus of Flo and Dest.

It'll be included in the AppleTV subscription next season.
