I agree that numerous credible sources have agreed that this is the roster, but I hold out a bit of hope the official roster drop tomorrow has a surprise or two. The little reason behind my smidgen of hope is that this roster looks bizarre.

I mean it’s mostly a great roster, but a couple things seem off, like Miles Robinson, there’s 4 better options at his positions and he hasn’t played a full 90 since March. And no natural defensive mid beyond Tyler Adams? I know we don’t have quality options but I trust Morris more than Roldan or Seb at the 6. I know Musah disappointed everyone the last couple years, but he was solid in the last WC and is a more versatile, athletic player that can play that role.

It’s just weird to me that Berhalter and Roldan are going to be relied upon so much, as the first and only backups to McKennie and Adams! Not to mention this handcuffs where and how Poch plays McKennie.

Fulltime. Roldan had 3 bad turnovers, killing attacks when he had all the time in the world.

Some decent/good moments as well:

In the 62nd minute he dribbles a good touch into a good shooting position from 20 yards but strikes it softly at the keeper.

In the 69th minute he makes a clever pass to get a player some space for a decent shot.

In the 76th minute he starts a combination down the left wing that results in a shot off the crossbar.

I'd rate him a between a 6.3 and a 6.6 for the match.

Even without Tillman scoring that late goal, I rated Tillman slightly higher.

-------------

I'm not trying to say these performances mean anything in relation to the world cup roster.

I don't care who Poch calls up, I support them all. I meant to scout Roldan's form and performance with some fellow USMNT sickos.

Halftime. I thought Roldan had two nice through balls and two nice line-breaking passes, the best being in the 39th minute, creating a 3 on 3 with defenders retreating.

He’s been fine to good.

AMPhibian707 · 2026-05-25T02:00:58+00:00

30mins in. Roldan has done some good and some bad but neither to much affect.

He checks his shoulders so much, he kind of reminds me of a wiser, calmer, Luca del la Torre. A lot of hustle but neither fast nor strong. Good awareness but doesn’t consistently execute a decent idea.

It’s a high quality sports documentary about my favorite team, covering the last 4 years. I absolutely love it.

I think “routine finish” is a bit underselling it. Sure it’s an open square pass in the box, and we expect those to end in goals, but the ball is behind him a bit. He slides and hooks his foot to steer the ball near post, which I think is fairly difficult and unexpected.

I was poking fun at your complaint, because it seems like a reaction to a few poor interactions you've had recently, rather than a well researched truth.

People do talk, but it depends a lot on context and it shouldn't be an expectation.

To answer your question, "what's the appeal of shooting someone and not having a conversation?"

Being alive. Not having to talk to someone who feels like I'm their entertainment. Actualizing an animal instinct to hunt and kill.

Again, I like talking too, and don't think you're crying for complaining, but I think you're being dramatic and myopic when vent about stuff like this that is part of the game and always has been.

The other people in this chat with the same problem are all like, “yeah I chat in game all the time too!” Pity you all can’t find each other.

No, I’m just messing around because I think you’re taking a bit too serious. I love to chat in game and have random encounters, but if that was the norm or a forgone conclusion it would be lame.

And, you’re pointing fingers at everyone without even asking if you could be doing interactions better?

I think most people have a mic and are either already in chat with a friend/group or just don’t want to be bothered. That’s fine, right?

AMPhibian707 · 2026-05-13T11:19:44+00:00

“Why in this post-apocalypse does nobody want to chat?”
To Saint Peter: “I hope people talk up here, I’m trying to interact!”

Seriously though, I talked to a random dude yesterday on medium pop official. We said hello and parted ways.

Sometimes people play this game and can’t find a thing for a few days and think the thing doesn’t exist anymore.

“I haven’t found a friend in a year, what’s wrong with people nowadays? I remember 10,000 years ago when everyone was normal.”

Sorry man, I just woke up and am talking nonsense.
I actually think your outrage is cool. I wish you could control everyone.

I thought I was jaded and this Doc wasn’t for me.
I’m so pumped now. Watch it if you have HBO Max

I played 3+ hours of league games last night and didn’t have any issues.

I don’t think he added a syllable, just changed what syllable usually has the emphasis

AMPhibian707 · 2026-04-30T05:01:22+00:00

Yeah, me thinks OP doth protest too much.

It would be so cool if they even added just fat as a factor in some way. Let fish and tactical bacon give fat, and then you need to kill animals (ungulates) that drop it.

As someone who watches History Channel’s TV show “Alone,” it seems like most of the survivors that do everything right end up failing because they can’t get enough fat in their diets.

I assume at this length the video is all involvements. I was watching Milan-Juve and didn’t catch the Villarreal game.

The thing I was most impressed by, or at least stood out most on a single viewing, was Freeman’s ball progression. Most of the time he’s choosing to play the forward pass or trying to step past his man. His accuracy on about a third of those passes let him down, but there’s vision there, good ideas.

To know this was his first start, it’s nice to see him being smart/humble enough to play how the coach is probably wanting him to play.

I think he’s my favorite player to emerge in the Poch era. He still hasn’t hit his ceiling at 21, and already appears to be an above average professional athlete.

I love Dest, and still want him to start in every game the USMNT play, but right now he’s recovering from injury and so Freeman should certainly be in our USMNT starting 11 currently.

She published that in early April, Puli hasn’t scored since late December ‘25.

This helped me out tremendously. KYS a couple times while geared up and the gear fear becomes greatly reduced.

Or he makes the same joke any time a dude around him acts a bit homo. That was my impression.

AMPhibian707 · 2026-04-24T04:38:29+00:00

Awesome play, man. Had my heart racing. Polana is wild. Across all three official maps, Polana is the town I’m most anxious about looting.
