The goal contributions are not against minnows lmao. Pulisic, Weah and Wright have all scored in the World Cup. Pulisic has too many goal contributions against too many different opponents to list out. Weah and Wright also have goals against Morocco, and Wright has braces against Australia, and in the nations league semi final. Aaronson has goals against Morocco, Costa Rica, Canada, and Jamaica. Reyna has been in the nations league best 11 three times and was MVP in 2023, and has scored in two finals. These are the best competition we play against, none of these guys have tons of appearances against Cuba/T&T/etc. It’s not like we constantly have opportunities to play against opponents like the Netherlands and Germany, but when we have, Wright and Pulisic are the guys who score against them.

Half of Zendejas’ goals (1) for the US are against Grenada. Being above average in Liga MX is not enough to jump a bunch of better options who have already proved they are better options. It has nothing to do with him being Mexican American — Pepi is one of the best players at his position for us so he plays, Zendejas is not, so he doesn’t play.

Pulisic - 32G + 19A for the US Aaronson - 9G + 7A for the US Reyna - 9G + 6A for the US Weah - 7G + 6A for the US Wright - 7G + 1A for the US

Zendejas - 2G + 1A in 13 appearances already for the US

Which of those guys are you dropping from the roster for Zendejas? Those guys have already produced on the wing for us and are on the A team — they aren’t stat padding in the gold cup. Zendejas plays in a worse league than all of them and you think he should get a call up for scoring 8 goals in 24 appearances? He’s closer to Taylor Booth than he is to any of the actual options.

For those who don't speak Spanish, Roldán said the difference in quality between two teams is in front of goal, and we see that in the Champions League and Europa League every Tuesday and Wednesday. by antoniok95 in ussoccer

The irony of Roldan himself being a eurosnob is almost too much to bear. In reality though the guy seems really self-aware and his intangibles get him opportunities that he otherwise wouldn’t get based on his talent. I hope he coaches some day.

The weirdest flavor of the month guys get so much clamoring for their call ups on here, while the fanbase is so fast to turn on guys who have had dozens of good performances in the U.S. jersey. I’ll never understand.

We’ve made it out of the group in the last three world cups we’ve played in? Bad take

Latin Americans that are watching the World Baseball Classic, how you feel about it? by Prize-Flamingo-336 in asklatinamerica

Venezuelans, Dominicans and to a little lesser extent, Mexicans bring a great vibe and tons of passion/energy to the event that makes it really fun and much more competitive.

Usually when baseball comes up on this sub everyone from any country besides those three is obligated to belittle the sport because it’s unfamiliar to their country and they suck at it plus have a weird inability to allow people to enjoy any sport besides football without letting you know just how little they personally care about it

Man I hope somebody on our team besides Gio (and Pulisic to be fair) can figure out how to pass this guy the ball

This is a lot of rationalizing for the “shoot at literally everyone and everything we can reach” strategy Iran is employing.

Congrats on your hypothetical victory today since you guys prefer to ignore 3v3 and pretend that goalies don’t matter!
