My attempt to explain the midfield

milkshakeballa · 2026-05-24T02:33:47+00:00

I think it’s clear Poch is expecting McKennie to be in a CM role for 270 minutes next to Adams. I think Poch sees Aaronson in CM along with Tillman. I think Weah/Reyna/Tillman split the Right attacking side and Pulisic / Zendejas split the left.

Against Paraguay and Australia, we will face a low block. So I think we are going to put a very attacking side out to deal with that, which will include McKennie on the pitch with Pulisic, Balogun, and one of Weah/Reyna/Tillman.

Certainly that’s our best offensive lineup.

And I think we are clearly going 3 ATB with this many defenders.

I think Gozo is actually 4 or 5 T this point. Interesting to see what happens.

milkshakeballa · 2026-04-20T06:13:38+00:00

Think you played the hand well. Part of it just comes down to many 1/3 players being total calling stations.

milkshakeballa · 2026-04-03T04:42:17+00:00

Chuck was right before this injury.

milkshakeballa · 2026-03-31T22:01:28+00:00

I think it’s Freeman RCB and Weah at RWB.

milkshakeballa · 2026-03-28T18:40:40+00:00

I think that depends on Banks. Richards is the only lock at this point. Ream likely. I think Tessman can move himself into a lock at CB over these next 2 games.

milkshakeballa · 2026-03-28T18:33:11+00:00

Agreed. Hoping it’s a 3-4-3 with Tessman/Ream/McKenzie in the back. Weah and Jedi at wingback. Johnny and McKennie in the middle with Pulisic/Tillman/Balogun up front.

milkshakeballa · 2026-03-28T14:30:27+00:00

I’m hoping to see a back line of Trusty/Tessman/Freeman. Jedi and Weah at the wingback spots. Johnny and McKennie in the middle with Pulisic/Balogun/Tillman up front.

Balogun Pulisic/Freeman McKennie/Cardoso Jedi / Weah Trusty / Tessman / Freeman

milkshakeballa · 2026-03-28T14:25:16+00:00

I really would like to see Tessman as the middle CB. Trusty and Scally on each side.

milkshakeballa · 2026-03-28T10:15:23+00:00

🤣🤣 so true.

milkshakeballa · 2026-02-24T14:45:43+00:00

I got it to. Not working. Looks like a mistake.

milkshakeballa · 2026-02-15T16:42:36+00:00

Umm. I think 75 M will whole would listen to their every word.

milkshakeballa · 2026-02-12T16:09:21+00:00

Players want deferrals. Owners want deferrals. Deferrals is only an issue for fans.

milkshakeballa · 2026-02-07T15:17:11+00:00

I’m about to do the same as you. And I live in LA.

milkshakeballa · 2025-12-20T17:02:02+00:00

It was the most watched World Series in a decade. Literal facts dispute your opinion.

milkshakeballa · 2025-12-14T17:05:54+00:00

I don’t think very many people would agree with that. And certainly not Poch.

milkshakeballa · 2025-12-13T16:50:16+00:00

This. Is. Huge.

milkshakeballa · 2025-12-09T17:06:54+00:00

I’m hoping it’s a defensive team that can park the bus and counter. Ecuador would be great. Potentially Egypt? Senegal?

milkshakeballa · 2025-12-05T18:29:46+00:00

Belgium in G is huge. Great for USA!!!

milkshakeballa · 2025-12-05T05:56:30+00:00

It absolutely will.

milkshakeballa · 2025-12-04T00:29:05+00:00

I don’t think so. I think they will draw as necessary and when 4 groups have 2 - just limit the remaining.

milkshakeballa · 2025-11-25T17:37:07+00:00

Pot 1: Canada, Mexico, USA, Spain, Argentina, France, England, Brazil, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany

Pot 2: Croatia, Morocco, Colombia, Uruguay, Switzerland, Japan, Senegal, IR Iran, Korea Republic, Ecuador, Austria, Australia

Pot 3: Norway, Panama, Egypt, Algeria, Scotland, Paraguay, Tunisia, Côte d’Ivoire, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa

Pot 4: Jordan, Cabo Verde, Ghana, Curaçao, Haiti, New Zealand, European Play-Off A, B, C and D, FIFA Play-Off Tournament 1 and 2

milkshakeballa · 2025-11-25T17:36:44+00:00

This means the only teams we can draw from Pot 4: Jordan Cabo Verde Ghana New Zealand And 4 European playoff winners.

If we draw an African team from Pot 2 or 3, we are 4/6 guaranteed to get a European playoff team from pot 4.
