Who makes a 26-man USMNT Copa America Roster? 

It's hilarious that you're compelled to call out Chicago in practically every video. In all honesty it shows you care about the team.

Will never understand the Miles love from Gregg. He’s a B-team starter at best. But if we’re just looking at MLS CBs he’s never even been better than Zimmerman.

I think 2 of the extra slots have to go to a 5th CB and a 3rd striker for specific in-game situations like cover for a red card, chasing a late goal, etc. Then our 26th slot will probably be whoever is best available, so probably one of Luca, Brendan, etc. But don't doubt GGG out from bringing a 4th GK for "team culture" LOL

I don't buy into the five CBs. I'd rather see a more attack friendly lineup particularly in group stage against the low block. So, Richards and CCV as CBs, A Rob as left FB and Weah in a wingback role on the right side. Make it all about the speed. Against quality (non-low block opponents) switch back to the 4-3-3 with someone like Scally at traditional right FB. Although tbh, Weah looked awfully good on defense against Leao.

Love the video. You should a video of transfer rumors or soon when the season is over.

A personal wishlist for me I hope to see Luca Koleosho and Diego Kochen commit to the US but maybe larger rosters for major tournaments could help with that i dont know. Kochen probably isn't ready yet but I wonder if we Could get Koleosho for Olympics or Copa America.

I'm not sure if Fossey is going to be healthy for Copa, he's been out for a month or so with a knee injury.

So we cant make fun of Jesse Marsch for saying its a 26 man roster anymore?

You do amazing work Pete!!! Thank you for the quality content! ⚽️🇺🇸🙂👍🏼

Solid lineup. I would switch Maloney and LDLT and I would bring Reynolds over Fossey. I expect Robinson over McKenzie and it won't bother me too much

I almost think bringing Lund and Parades and leaving fossey off is worth it. Fossey is the 5th RB/RWB in this roster let alone if everyone was healthy whereas Lund is a more like for like for Jedi for me. Everything else you have for me is spot on, as usual.

I think we may need a backup destroyer for Adams given the questions around his health. Cardoso and De La Torre aren’t like-for-like replacements for Adams in terms of defense. We may also find ourselves in a situation against Brazil or Colombia where we need two defensive midfielders. If Lennard Maloney is healthy I would bring him over Marlon Fossey. He can act as both a backup DM and backup CB. Plus he is regularly tested against much better competition. We’re likely going to go with Weah or Musah at right back anyway, so Fossey isn’t needed.

What’s the realistic expectation for this team for Copa? No Dest, potentially no Adams. We still have an amazing squad, though. Just don’t trust Gregg. Think we should at least be in the QFs but if we get embarrassed would Gregg get sacked?

Pretty solid! I'd almost like to see Steffen in the mix again although I admittedly have not been following him in MLS. How has he been?

Given this move toward 26-man rosters for this summer, the increased demand on players during the season due to schedule -packing, and the expansion of the World Cup to include 48 teams... do you think 26 is more likely for the World Cup?

Am I the only one who sees Brendan Aaronson following the Luca track of, if he can put some muscle on and get a little scrappy, becoming a really effective 8 but where Luca has good creativity, Aaronson will press the hell the hell out of anyone coming jnto the midfield?

Reynolds continues to get overlooked. Crazy to me. U gotta bring him, he is next up in a 26 man roster. Bring someone else to olympics

A change of formation is a must without Dest and Adams. A 421 would suit us better with our remaining players. GK: Turner, Horvath LCB: Ream, Trusty CB: Richards, Maloney RCB: Carter-Vickers, McKenzie LWB: Robinson, Paredes DM: Cardoso, Musah CM: McKennie, de la Torre RWB: Weah, Scally LAM/LW: Pulisic, Wright RAM: Reyna, Tillman ST: Balogun, Pepi, Sargent Starting XI: Balogun Pulisic Reyna Robinson Cardoso McKennie Weah Ream Richards Carter-Vickers Turner Sub XI: Pepi/Sargent Wright Tillman Paredes Musah de la Torre Scally Trusty Maloney McKenzie Horvath

i dont know why chicago doesnt release their players. its not like it'll effect their win streak or anything.

Why don’t you categorize Haji as a forward?

What ever happened to Richie Ledezma?

Pete, Call in show incoming soon?

Pete, why isn’t this on the Patreon? Going forward could you upload to both?

nO hAJI?

Is time for USA to invest in a Good Coach .

Griffin Dorsey?

In my opinion! Brendan doesn’t deserve to be in this squad, once again, he has been playing poorly with Union Berlin. He should be in the Olympic squad as an overage player.

Mark McKenzie or Austin Trusty aren’t better CBs than Miles let’s be honest. Yes trusty played in the Premier League but he’s not a PL level CB, McKenzie is still in the Belgian league, let’s be real how much better is that league compared to MLS. I just think Pete you’re just kinda holding a grudge against Miles for staying in MLS to an extent I agree with you, but for the NT he’s still been pretty solid. You gave miles a lot of flack for some reason against Jamaica & yet Robinson (Fulham) Richards (Crystal Palace), & Scally (Gladbach) were all at fault for that early goal. You would call for Djordie like crazy to be in the NT when he was in AZ Alkmaar, now that he’s back in Colorado, not a single peep I hear from you about him, which I get even though I never thought he was NT material period. I think you gotta reduce some biases when really evaluating the team.

I’m starting sarge 🫡
