    Dempsey made me a Fulham fan, but don't think I can root for Chelsea.

    Crazy that it has been almost 10 years since the Donovan goal against Algeria.  Took the day off of work and went to a big soccer bar to watch it....absolute insanity when that went in.  Great oral history from The Athletic.

    Yeah, man.  

    You guys know anything about Gio Reyna?  I never heard of him until a couple weeks ago.  Obviously Caludio's kid, but had no idea he existed or is legit.  They need to get him on the national team now as it seems like other countries are recruiting him.  I don't understand how this team can be bad in the next ten years, but I guess we'll see and I am sure they'll find a way to mess it up.

    Side note, huge fan of Claudio. Center Mid represent!  Have his autograph on one of thise 1994 denim/star looking guys

    Another 17 year old American breaking in with Dortmund like Pulisic did.  It's awesome to see so many young Americans playing in top European leagues and not the trash MLS.  Pulisic, Reyna, McKennie, Adams, Sargent, Brooks, Dest, Yedlin, Morales, Steffen, Richards all playing in top leagues.  Future is looking pretty damn good even with that clown act of a coach.

    This article is a little dated but nice breakdown of all the USMNT players in Europe...

    I was just coming on here to ask about him as he is making a stir in the Bundesliga right now.

    I've tried a few times to get into MLS but I just can't do it.  It's such a garbage league....the way the league is set up with designated players/targeted allocation money, etc. is laughable.  And they just keep adding more and more teams to keep watering it down.
