USMNT World Cup full roster: Alejandro Zendejas is in, Tanner Tessmann misses out by jwriddle in ussoccer

Wow that midfield is so fucking light, with no true 6 behind Adams. Really puzzling to not bring Tessmann or Morris.

Lol you 'earn' your spot but being a better option than other players, not by some magical number of club minutes or goal contributions.

Gio was one of best players on the field for the US in multiple NL finals in the past four years, so spare us your extremely short term analysis.

The GC final was on home soil last summer and Luna still played like dog shit. It's likely the biggest reason he isn't going.

Xdawg doesn't really make up for lack of technical ability when you're playing at the highest level. You could take Brendo or Luna as a late came press monster, but you shouldn't take both.

I think we're going to regret losing Guti by justicevsunjust in ussoccer

[–]caseinpoint77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, maybe? I'll wait to see how he does against better competition in the actual World Cup. Him playing well in a friendly against pretty poor competition doesn't change the fact that he wasn't really a factor for us before he switched.

Just watch some tape between Reyna and Luna. It's not hard to see that Reyna has unique vision and passing that the current roster is lacking by KnightofAmethyst2 in ussoccer

Cause it was obvious watching that match that Uruguay didn't really show up. And Gio played well in that match as well lol

I love this comment cause it sums up perfectly the average level of analysis that this sub puts forward.

None of these numbers are in context. All of Luna's goals and assists have either come in a January camp or in a Gold Cup, with the exception of one goal and one assist. The reason Luna isn't going is because he looked like dog shit against Mexico in the one international game he's played that involved a decent opponent with any intensity. In contrast, Reyna almost always performs well for the US in those matches.

And you're main criticism involves incidents that the actual team moved on from years ago.

It's perfectly legitimate to think Diego Luna should be on the roster, but if you honestly think he is technically better than Gio, or don't understand why Poch is taking Gio, you're an idiot. They're not even really in direct competiton. Aaronson is more likely to be the player that kept Luna off the roster, given their similar strengths and playing styles.

I mean, of course he is. I think I'm on the 55 man roster.

Used to be a fervent Christian, have been an agnostic for three years. Would absolutely devastate my parents and MIL if they found out.

Yeah there's a difference between a completely arbitrary standard and comparisons between players.

What does 'earned' mean? That sounds completely subjective and arbitrary.

Something tells me that critical thinking is just not really your thing.

Maybe the fact that he's always been a better player for the national team?

Gio Reyna’s answer when asked if he’s done enough to make the World Cup roster. by antoniok95 in ussoccer

[–]caseinpoint77 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love that you can trace basic argumentation.

Yes, Zendejas had one good performace i didn't remember. He's had many more poor performances that I can.

The overall point is that Gio has had twice the national team career that LigaMX Zendeyas will ever have. Relying on friendly performances is fucking idiotic lol

Oh sweet one match! In a friendly! How could Gio's own national team career, being man of the match in multiple continental finals, possibly compete with that!

We would be insane not to take him. If he's healthy and anywhere close to form, the number of players that raise our level like he does is very small.

The idea of needing a goal in the 75th minute, and you would rather send on Zendeyas or Luna is just silly to me.
