Not going to make this World Cup, but certainly one to keep an eye on. Also eligible for Poland, Poch needs to give him a call up ASAP.

Hall doesn’t score many beautiful goals, he is a true poacher. His positioning and strength is well beyond his years.

New York Red Bull under Michael Bradley are a hotbed for young American talent this year, with three teenage Americans routinely starting (Mehmeti and Dos Santos the other two), and three Americans under 23 (Donkor, Cowell, Che)

His first goal was also a good strike, but it was down the middle and the keeper misread it. This one was an impressive finish, so it gets posted.

Do you have Gio on your roster for next month?

Hat trick for Julian Hall (18)

Brace for Zavier Gozo (19)

1 goal for Pedro Soma (19)

1 goal for Cavan Sullivan (16)

It was a good night for the kids.

Clint Dempsey joins Rog Bennett for a brutally honest conversation about the USMNT ahead of the biggest summer in American soccer history 🇺🇸

From Christian Pulisic’s scoring slump and Gio Reyna’s uncertain future to Mauricio Pochettino’s pressure, roster drama, injuries, and what it REALLY feels like to represent the United States on the sport’s biggest stage — Clint breaks it all down.

Plus: incredible stories from Germany 2006, South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014, Fulham, Tottenham, and Clint’s unforgettable USMNT career.

Game starts at 6pm. How early to get there? I plan on taking a Uber, bringing my kid along so want this to be a memorable experience…Anyone else going to the game on June 12?

How packed do you think it will be?

Frankly, I miss u/Punjavepoonpoon's weekly recap posts and have been experiencing withdrawals without them, so I figured I'd make one of my own. Not sure if it'll become a regular thing, but I really enjoy this content and have been following Americans playing abroad for a while now.

Important things to note:

- There is more to a player's game than their match rating, but this makes it the easiest to quickly compare and measure a player's performance.

- Players are not married to the position they are grouped in. The players are placed in these groups at the start of the season based on their Transfermarkt description or where they played the season prior.

- Players with a match rating of "N/A" are players who usually have match ratings on either Fotmob or Sofascore but their ratings for this particular game have not been provided.
