Oh, the USWNT world cup. Duh.
That maybe should be a separate thread about the USWNT.

Good step up in competition for Weah. Gets him in Champs also.
The fact that all of these American players are getting attention from the top clubs tells you all you need to know about the direction of US Soccer.
Weah's demonstration of both attacking and defending skills in that last game against Canada will have served him well on the world stage.
Juventus will hopefully help him improve his conditioning. He seems to consistently run out of steam early in the second half when playing in USMNT games.

Another sign is that our B- team is favored to win the Gold Cup over Mexico’s B+ team. Lots of depth in the program right now.
Rumor that Tyler Adams is a target for Aston Villa who is in the Conference League next year. Nice step up for him from Leeds if this happens.
I saw Newcastle wanting Antonee Robinson as well. Both good moves IMO.
13 years ago today.....Great US World Cup Moment

Great recap of the whole US 2010 World Cup
Greatest moment in US soccer history.
Greatest Team USA match in my heart will always be the original Dos e Cero at the World Cup in Korea.
C'mon. It was a PK. The celebration is iconic though.
No love?
The England game summary is hilarious. Makes it seem like we got thrashed. Not a surprise....
This one surprises me. Robinson is dangerous going forward, but I thought Ream’s surprisingly good season for Fulham covered up a lot of messes caused by Robinson giveaways or being caught out of position.
As I said, Ream probably made those stats look better by eliminating some negative impacts for him.
He obviously has talent, he just exhibits some poor judgement at times, and I am surprised by Newcastle’s interest because they intend to compete at a level where the margins are so tight you can’t afford mistakes (and the opponents are so talented to take advantage of any).
Newcastle does not have tight margins anymore. I think Jedi covered for Ream and and he plays up the field so much.
By “tight margins”, I meant that you can get away with a few defensive lapses as a mid table EPL team that you can’t afford playing Champions League. Newcastle has very high aspirations with the influx of money they are getting.
I'm skeptical of the advanced stats particularly some of the defensive ones but IMO Robinson is a very good player. USMNT to me he is the first name on the sheet. Nobody is close to supplanting him and he always performs.
There is a difference between being a top player on the USMNT and a player on a team with aspirations of competing in the Champions League.
Pulisic is a guaranteed USMNT starter as well and can”t get starts at Chelsea. McKinnie is highly thought of USMNT player and couldn’t stick with Juventus.
I see Robinson as a talented player, but not someone with the ability (or even more so, “sense” when it comes to reading the game) to compete at the absolute top level of football.
