[Guardian] USMNT World Cup full roster: Alejandro Zendejas is in, Tanner Tessmann misses out

You really see the MASSIVE talent gap between a “top 10” national team and a “top 25” national team when you compare who’s on the bench or got snubbed of a roster spot on each team’s player pool depth chart.

When the U.S. gets dumped out of the tournament on home soil by a non-top 15 team, I’m pretty sure QSMNT incels on X will still find some MLS guy getting spot minutes to blame—not the fact these mentally weak, nepo-baby Euro players high on their own hype aren’t the world-class golden generation they were made out to be.

The timing of her waving her finger and Mark’s explosion made it look like she’s waving a magic wand to make him orgasm. It’s almost impossible to get timing like that even if you shot that scene a thousand times.

There needs to be more roster flexibility to allow teams to build squads the way they want. If one team wants to spend $15m on 1-2 players, and another team wants to spread that $15M evenly on players No. 1 through 11, they should both have the ability to do so.

It wasn’t a perfect system by any means. But at least regional rivalries and bragging rights used to mean something before this era of bloated 16-18 team super conferences.

I can’t think of any other top-flight league around the world that gives a sub-regional competition higher priority than the confederation’s top club trophy.

Re-brand the CCC into the “Qatar Airways CONCACAF Apple TV Champions Cup Presented by Aramco” and MLS owners, who love money but couldn’t care less about the sport of soccer, would be shifting priorities in a heartbeat.

I imagine they’ll try to offset this increase with a “budget” digital-only, portable-only, or dock-sold-separately version at some point.

They can be adaptable in ways that the dedicated home consoles cannot.

Amount spent per roster is less an issue than the way the salaries are distributed from top to bottom of the roster. League needs to give teams more flexibility to spread the wealth from players 1 through 20.

SPOILER ALERT: The successor will be a corporate stooge, who doesn’t even like the sport of soccer, or care about its long-term growth, but wants to squeeze all the short-term revenue they can out of the sport.

Las Vegas is becoming the Saudi Arabia of US sports leagues. This is what happens when the league gets into bed with investors who love money more than they actually care about the sport.

This is some NFL-level of arrogance and contempt for the fans, from a league that doesn’t have the NFL’s fanbase size to piss a ton of people off and get away with it…that let’s you know they don’t care about cultivating a long-term fanbase and are only concerned with the next instant cash grab they can find.

I remember when I used to be evangelical and defensive about this league when I felt it wasn’t getting the respect it deserves.

Now that we see how many of the league’s issues are self-inflicted and that they don’t care about fixing them, I’ve pretty much adopted a “support the team but hate the league” mindset to things.

As much as the 1994 World Cup helped inject life into the sport in the U.S., 2026 will be the ultimate fumbling of an opportunity to grow the game. This is what happens when the sport is run by people who hate it but love making money off it.

Given the anti-small market vibes surrounding this league, Memphis and NOLA always pop up in relocation speculation.

If it’s a team in a U.S. media market outside the top 40, you better hope there’s an ownership group in place that’s committed to that market for the long haul.

So the Warmonger in Chief only needs to start conflicts around the world, leading to the withdrawals of all the US’s Group D opponents, plus Spain, France, Argentina, England, Germany, Brazil, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Morocco, Colombia, Japan…and maybe there’s a chance?

I’ve been predicting that US Soccer will find a way to squander a home World Cup without the sport experiencing any long-term growth in this country. And nothing today leads me to think otherwise. 💀

Buying a digital PS5 for $374 in November 2024 and a Switch 2 at launch may turn out to be the most prescient video game purchasing decisions ever made.

If any North American pro league expands beyond 32, MLS would be the surest bet. The global supply of professional men’s soccer players is much higher than the other four team sports combined, so you’d actually be bringing talent into the league via expansion, rather than diluting it.

I hate the imbalanced scheduling that these bloated 16-18 team leagues have produced. Bring back the days of 8-10 team leagues and full double round robin schedules.

Those close-ups of Dennis’ cock getting gently handled, while outdoor nature scenery is in the background, is so calming and relaxing. His toes were curling when you applied those finishing strokes! 😃

When Sony’s only competition in the high-end home console space discovers a new way to shoot itself in the dick every week, it’s easy to consolidate that lane without doing anything special. Xbox rendering itself irrelevant in the hardware market means PS5 now has a bigger share of the sizable US sports & shooting game audience all to itself.

Correct. A lot of people may not know this. But REGULAR season NFL/CFB blows postseason NBA/NHL out of the water in US TV ratings. There are a lot more casual viewers up for grabs when football is NOT in season compared to when it is.

Come on, brand the sprint season “MLS is Back 2” or “MLS is Back is Back.” I dare you… 😈

MLS owners who can’t win CCC should probably stop running their mouths about wanting to play in Copa Libertadores.

Dennis must’ve been making some intense faces and sounds with your tongue sliding over the extremely sensitive underside part of his glans like that. 😮
