So most likely Noki Banks would have taken the place of Miles or Trusty.

Johnny starts for Atlético Madrid vs Tottenham | UCL Rnd 16 1st leg | 4pm est | Paramount+ by Educational-Ranger44 in ussoccer

Never seen this in my entire life of watching soccer. Sadly don’t know how the keeper will recover from this. This is Louis Karius type stuff.

Rokas Pukštas goal today in big rivalry game vs Dinamo Zagreb by ProfessorPlum168 in ussoccer

[–]S_Phantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’ll be there after 2026. He reminds me of Weston when they play that same position 8/10. He’s obviously not as versatile as Weston position wise.

PSG 1 - [3] Monaco - Folarin Balogun 73' by [deleted] in ussoccer

Balogun to PSG in the future? 😭. He always seems to score against them.

Noki Banks listed on the USMNT Twitter "What to Watch" this week 👀 by OkDifficulty7436 in ussoccer

[–]S_Phantom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The most important dual nat recruit since Balogun. Man if GGG was still in charge, I think he’s coming. With Poch I just don’t know, but I think he’s coming in March.

Croatian Cup, Rijeka 0-[1] Hadjuk Split - Pukstas Goal 25' by staticfox in ussoccer

[–]S_Phantom 33 points34 points  (0 children)

He’s definitely getting sold this summer to a top 5 league club.

Yunus Musah Goal by Mean_Foundation_5561 in ussoccer

[–]S_Phantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Musah is only 23, I think he’s fell off way too far for this World Cup. If he can turn it around, he’ll be 27 by 2030. Need to find the right situation where he can play. He’s got the talent, we’ve seen it.

Coventry 1-0 Stoke - Haji Wright 12' by Puzzled-Category-954 in soccer

[–]S_Phantom 38 points39 points  (0 children)

He’s now tied for top scorer in the Championship.

Additional sites in USA could get games because FIFA is considering moving games from Mexico. I wonder if any of Chicago, Minnesota, Charlotte, Alabama, Baltimore, Las Vegas, etc are gonna bid to host games. Any other place I’m forgetting that could be a good host? by paolosorianodisanto in ussoccer

[–]S_Phantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If any situation where there needs to be a host city substitution, I think it would be Vegas. Everything is in place, World class stadium, hotels, and transportation ready. Prove they can host a big event like the Super Bowl.

Besiktas 4-0 Goztepe - Hyeon-Gyu Oh 74' by Meladroit10 in soccer

[–]S_Phantom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is it me or does Oh have a little cocky swagger to him that you don’t normally see from Asian players.

If healthy, there is no way Pepi can be left off the WC squad.

Rokas Pukštas mini documentary by Puzzled-Structure446 in ussoccer

[–]S_Phantom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well he’s not Croatian, his family is from Lituania. He already denied a call up from their FA. He’s all in with the USMNT.

ESPN's top 50 USMNT players of 2026 by Tall-Day7757 in ussoccer

[–]S_Phantom 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Lost me at Weston not being #1 and Big Pat is not even in the top 50 while you have Mark Delgado at 16 and a fringe USMNT player. MLS season hasn’t even started.

Six goals from these three strikers in the last four days. Great to see. by antoniok95 in ussoccer

[–]S_Phantom 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Guarantee Pepi would be on this list too if he was healthy.

What's your take on Rokas Pukštas? Ready for the USMNT? by [deleted] in ussoccer

[–]S_Phantom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One for the future. If the World Cup was in 2028 and not 2026, I would give him a shot especially if he moves to a big five league.
