    Tyler Adams with a game winning goal in the 88th minute of champions league quarterfinal.  Incredible.  Can't wait for the USMNT to play again and see all these young kids play together.

    Can't wait for Greggg's dumb system to play Adams at RB

    LOL.  I think that idiot finally admitted that he wouldn't be playing him at RB anymore.

    Not US soccer but sounds like Messi is officially leaving Barcelona this summer? That’s brutal. 

    He’s gotta go to England right?

    He should go to Juventus just so we could finally see Ronaldo and Messi on the same team.

    Speaking of Juventus, looks like McKinnie is headed there?  Nothing wrong with that.

    Didn’t expect him to end up there. Just hope he can get regular playing time....wouldn’t do him any good to go to a big time club like that and just ride the bench.   Still crazy to see so many young Americans playing with these big time clubs.

    We'll see if he's able to get consistent PT. It's great he's at a huge club, but might have been better to go somewhere a little smaller where he would be playing a lot.

    They could loan him out to a smaller club in the top flight for the first season and see how he fares. I think that's happened to a few Americans in the Premier League.

    All the reports are saying that Juventus would be taking him in on loan with an option to buy him at the end. It would be strange for them to take a player on loan only to loan him out to a 3rd team.

    Pulisic got #10 on Chelsea. That’s wild. This kid

    That's amazing.  21 year old American wearing the 10 shirt for one of the top clubs in the world.  

    Can't wait for USMNT to play again and all these young guys to start building some chemistry. Pulisic, McKennie, Reyna, Sargent, Miazga, Dest, Weah, Steffen....so many guys to be excited about that are playing in top leagues and not the trash MLS.  It sounds like they may play a couple friendlies in Europe in the October or November international windows.

    It's an exciting future for sure. Don't know that we've ever had this much potential.

    The fact that Barca and Bayern Munich were both trying to get this guy is crazy.  De la Fuente has made a couple appearances with Barca as well....2 USMNT players currently there.  Wild times.

    Barca is an absolute shit show, but he should get a better chance to play there than he would have at Bayern

    Big weekend for our young Americans abroad. Dest came of the bench, Reyna started and had 3 assists, Chris Richards started for Bayern and had an assist.

    That is a pretty damn good roster!  They should always just take players from Europe and no one from the trash MLS.  Sounds like Pulisic's injury isn't too bad...hopefully he'll be able to play in 1 of these 2 games.  The Musah thing came out of nowhere....feel like I read plenty about prospects for USMNT and I can't remember ever hearing that name until the past couple days.  That would be quite a coup to get a guy like that.

    I still won't hold my breath on Musah. Playing in these friendlies does absolutely nothing to his status. 
    And apparently he's eligible to play for the US because he was literally born here and that's it. His quote says that his mother was here on vacation when she went into labor. But hey, we can sell him on a much easier path to get a solid role with the 1st team so hopefully Greg can pull it off.
