[@Andrew-bd8dc]

I’m still pissed we didn’t bring Diego Luna. Sickening how they actually have a young star from their beloved MLS and STILL WONT CALL HIM UP! He would easily be one of the 3-5 best players on this team!!! I hope to see Luna called into the A Team this fall

[@jakebushlack]

All my homies wanna see Diego Luna

[@r2dad282]

no brainer, but USSF gotta do USSF things

[@TacsBrazilianGhost]

That snub really took away any excitement I had for this tournament

[@luckymark571]

​@@r2dad282Marko mitrovic picks the roster not Ussf

[@r2dad282]

@luckymark571 Does he, though? And all the other US U-players who made camps (or not)--who is picking or not picking them? Whose values are enshrined in those selections? As it is now, we have marginal keepers (ex-slonina), back lines who can't read the game or play with the ball at their feet--who is picking them? All these players who play positions with their backs to goal (NIC target forwards like Vazquez)--who is picking them, cause they suck if they are professionals but can't execute basic play. Someone(s) is instilling their value sets on the player pools. those people are USSF employees.

[@alexschwalbach8229]

Miles Robinson is such a good player that his club wants him away from the team for as long possible while they are top of the table 😂

[@mattmarratta2519]

The fact that Lennard Maloney didn't make either roster this summer is tantamount to negligence by USSF and this totally uncreative coaching staff. The guy is a legitimate Bundesliga starter and a key player of his team. This would have been the perfect tournament to try him at CB, a definite position of need at the senior level. I agree, Tac, Neal should be there over either Robinson or Zimmerman. Pepi should have been brought as a CF, and Luna is a huge omission. I wouldn't be surprised if we lose him to Mexico after this snub and his issues with Mitrovic. The sad thing is, we had an opportunity to put together a roster capable of at least challenging for a medal, but this ain't it...

[@MoTheAviator]

Pepi was not released by PSV unfortunately

[@asphaltcowboy7567]

Couldn't frigging agree more. He's a very good player.. Gross incompetence not picking him.. I would leave if I was him..

[@luckymark571]

PSV didn't release Pepi and Tillman bro

[@mattmarratta2519]

Yeah, I missed that somehow... I'm a bit surprised that Earnie Stewart didn't release them.

[@teddyomararayacrooker2240]

Luna, no es más que los jugadores estadounidenses no latinos entre menos latinos haya en el seleccionado estadounidense, les irá mucho mejor los latinos no han sido piezas fundamental en ningún proceso sobre todos los descendientes de mexicanos no sirven

[@alexbabinski7318]

Quick little Schulte stan: he's being brought up in the Nancy crew system, which is extremely demanding of the GK playing with their feet. If he continues to develop in even better leagues I could see him providing real use for us. He's already much better than the beginning of last season

[@Andrew-bd8dc]

Luna has 15 goal contributions in 20 MLS games at only 20 years old!!! He’s one of the best young players in not only MLS but the entire USA!

[@johnpolis5211]

Mihailovic is having a great season at Colorado. A great setup man and team capt at Colorado. He's also scored a parcel of goals. As far as the entire roster goes, it's an under 23 team. No one's ever going to be that impressed with an under 23 team. Hopefully the coach has the group he wants and he can bring them together for a great tournament.

[@udonwarrior9983]

FIRE BETHALTER

[@DUhbubbles]

Neal over Zimmerman and use overage at rb like cannon or yedlin since we couldn’t get reynolds. Also Luna has to be there over Cremanschi for a super sub. So starting XI should have been schulte, yedlin or Cannon, Robinson, Neal, Tolkien in defense. Busio, Tessman, Djordie in the midfield. Booth, Peredes, Aaronson as a false nine

[@CristianosVictory]

When are they announcing whether or not they’re gonna keep Greg?

[@VStrizzy]

Wednesday I believe

[@rokaimaster100]

Latest should be Wed. But it has been rumored that today is when they are voting for the firing

[@teddyomararayacrooker2240]

ojalá se vaya, es lo único que le falta Estados Unidos para dar el salto de calidad, porque jugadores tienen de sobra luego, lo que tendría que hacerse es limpiar a todos los jugadores, de origen mexicano o centroamericano, no aportan absolutamente nada

[@fitycalibre7555]

So I get the annoyance with MLS players. But we can’t keep saying the development here sucks, and then as the MLS academies get better and grow, turn around and shit on them. Like MLS academies keep getting better every year.

[@dLifeHD]

Don’t try, Tactical and his whole audience hate MLS. They don’t think anything good comes from it.

[@u.s.m.n.tconcacafchampions6326]

[@CoachSeanUT]

Our U23 tied France, in France, in March. Came from behind 2-0.... beat Guinea 3-0 Both rosters had some of the same players... for what it is worth.

[@SportsPredictor101]

I’m a big NY Red Bulls fan and John Tolkin will be great. He can defend really well, pass super good, and most importantly he can score banger free kicks 🤫

[@ProRel4MLSUSL]

The thing is that's what you see in MLS. I saw him in the Gold Cup and I thought he was alright, his best attribute seems to be free kicks though lol.

[@jonathonedwardmiller]

The USMNT needs to be 100% developed ABROAD

[@r2dad282]

remember, this is only because USSF ignores youth development and punts it all to MLS. We could develop players and clubs the way the rest of the world does it, or we can take our cues from MLB and NFL.

[@MrCovert23]

No, We Need European football structure introduced into USA. I guarantee if soccer wasn’t so goddamn focused on money and giving talented kids an opportunity we’d be much much better.

[@JamesFitzsimons-q2z]

The omission of Luna is absolute lunacy! If not the best, certainly the most exciting player on that roster. Is he injured? Why else would he not be included?

[@realgzee2393]

Looks like quite a bit of Mx-USA duals are switching to Mexico, John Gomez said in a podcast he's seen preference for dual European nationals. Makes sense for them to switch to Mx

[@teddyomararayacrooker2240]

acuérdate de mí, eso está pasando porque México no tiene jugadores y los que se están yendo a México son los más discretos por no decir malos Reynolds es mucho mejor que Araujo y acuérdate, el Barcelona tarde o temprano se desprenderá del jugador porque es bastante malo incluso Mauri se llevó a Reynolds a la Roma. No sé por qué razón no ha rendido en ese club pero al parecer no está en esta nómina creo que el club no lo dejó ir a los olímpicos, pero es un buen lateral

[@lolyomamabic1]

I give it a 7/10. Should’ve had Luna and Esmir. Neal and Jo Gomez were also a big miss

[@ProRel4MLSUSL]

Esmir is switching and possibly goes the same for Gomez

Did Jalen Neal maybe not get released? I think starting 2 overage CBs is pretty smart tbh. Strength and experience will be huge there. Bringing Djordie is insane though.

[@CoachSeanUT]

Diego Luna was pissed and went off for a goal and 3 assists for RSL... Should have been there! Play a false 9 and rotate wingers/10s all over the park to confuse teams... RB.... umm... use Wiley?

[@SojuNinja]

They don't have Baldhalter.

[@mattmarratta2519]

Congrats to Canada, and I'm rooting for them, but this comment seems a bit disingenuous. It comes across as trying to push an idea equating the quality of MLS players to those based internationally. Look, Canada made it out of their group being up a man for most of two games and scoring 1 goal in the entire group stage. Then, they got past the mighty Venezuela on penalties in the quarters. Again, congrats on the accomplishment, but let's keep things in perspective. It's not any kind of proof as to the quality of MLS or its players.

[@RonnieM90]

@@mattmarratta2519 Two can play this game. It seems like you are trying to make excuses. At the end of the day, Canada made it to the semifinals. Argentina has a player playing in MLS by the name of Lionel Messi. You probably have heard of him.

[@BrutalFates]

@@RonnieM90 Dude, that isn't the same logic at all. You are forgetting that the whole Argentina teams plays on the biggest teams in Europe. Messi at this point has been one of the weakest points on the Argentina team. Congrats to Canada but you have to be realistic and know that a bit of luck has been on their side. If they do not get destroyed by Argentina and Manage to pull a win, then your logic will make more sense. But right now it is all circumstance.

[@benjaminbronnimann3966]

the US also made it to the semifinals with a mostly MLS roster, what's your point ?

[@irwinvasquez9858]

Our first team got grouped in the Copa. I don't mind sending other guys. Until the entire USSF has a top to bottom restructuring with people who know what it takes I'm not going to get my hopes up. Luna should have gone over McGlyn.

I think us soccer would be shitting bricks if our first team age eligible players played for a different coach and shined they would be swallowing their decision to rehire GGG.

[@Rorysammy]

Luna had such a slow start this season. This roster was picked before this weekend’s games so his stats were not that great. Wish he had made the team, but Mihilovic will be taking every corner, every free kick anyway.

[@Lbb789]

[@gandalfgreyhame3425]

Let me make this prediction - this is going to be more of the same ol' same ol' MLS - Berhalter Ball below mediocrity. Three and out, not going to get out of group. Mitrovic refusing to name Diego Luna to the team seems like the Berhalter - Reyna feud all over again. Why didn't USSF promote Mikey Vargas, who had qualified this group into the Olympics for the first time in a decade? They played well and with distinction during qualification? What exactly were Mitrovic's qualifications to take over this group?

[@pauldavis4287]

Mitrovic flew out to speak with Bajraktarevic personally. Even though Esmir will be available for the next Olympics and it being only an 18-man roster, he was less than thrilled with being left off. Don't be surprised if he ends up playing nationally for Bosnia.

Some of those athletes do not seem like they would be great association football players. Messi is 5'7". There are not many NFL, NBA, and MLB players that are 5'7". Jose Altuve is a 5'6" MLB player, but he is Venezuelan.

[@RonnieM90]

Also, in my opinion, MLB players do not seem really fast. I read somewhere that Mookie Betts ran a 4.7 40. He is 5'9", so that is not fast for his height. Even if you look at the NBA, Stephen Curry does not seem like he runs a really fast 40. There are also some NFL players who are not really fast. Patrick Mahomes ran a 4.8 40. I feel like many of the USMNT players could run a faster 40 than Mahomes.

@@boootybounce420 Yes, maybe some DB, WR, RB, and a few QBs could play association football, but I doubt many linemen could. Most of those guys would seem like they fit into association football.
