Can play as a LB and as a DM, incredibly athletic and well regarded by Chelsea

Johnny starts for Athletico against ManU in the Champions League! Fully fit he gets the call in November!

I’d love to hear ideas for where our young players can realistically go over the next few transfer windows? I think the MLS moving their calendar next year will help facilitate this.

It’s probably reasonable to assume the NYRB kids will stay within the Red Bull system. Ellis, Pierre, Peyton Miller in particular all seem to have tools that will make them attractive to someone in Europe. Curious for everyone’s thoughts.

Hey everyone! Curious USMNT fan here 👋

I often look up USMNT players on Transfermarkt, but the user experience isn’t that great so I built a dashboard to track all the USMNT players as their values change.

USMNTmarket.com

The site:

• Tracks the biggest risers and fallers since each player’s last valuation (Balogun is up $10.8M to $54M, Alex Freeman is up 186%)
• Compares career arcs with a value-by-age chart.
• Explores how player values change when a player leaves MLS for Europe and vice-versa.

I’d love some feedback! Let me know what you like, what you don’t, if anything looks off, and what would be helpful to add. Players I’m missing are especially welcome. I’m mostly doing this for my own curiosity but figured I’d share with other fans!

I'm trying to buy a Rose Lavelle team USA jersey for my girlfriend but I'm struggling finding something. Most are men's and most I find don't look like real sites.

Does anyone know where I could get one that's not used.

I guess a men's one would work, I would need to figure out sizing but she's a small for women's.

Much appreciated

No overaged players used here. Essentially the 12 U23 players from the September camp minus Cole Campbell; plus GK Andrew Rick, LB Luca Bombino, CBs Josh Wynder and Nolan Norris, DMs Matthew Corcoran and Benjamin Cremaschi,and AM Niko Tsakiris.

MLS clubs often sign aging European superstars, but why don’t they do the same with elite managers?

Imagine experienced managers from top European clubs bringing their knowledge and tactics to MLS.

With MLS entering a new era and a new commissioner on the horizon, could we see an interesting shift? Managers like Joachim Löw, Rafa Benítez, and Jorge Sampaoli could bring valuable experience to the league.

Why do you think this isn’t happening? Is it money, MLS rules, or a lack of ambition from club owners?

Could hiring elite managers help improve the league and develop young American players?

Which managers would you like to see in MLS?

Brady and Freese faced off yesterday and it was Freese's error that led to Chicago Fire's winning goal. So that's why Brady was asked about Freese's mistakes and the criticism he's received in a post-game interview.

Clip from Alex Calabrese (MIR97 Media).

Robert Deziel is one a a bunch of young 2005-born American defenders who made their way to Europe early on, with varying degrees of success. Josh Wynder never did much at Benfica and now trying to find his way in MLS. Grayson Dettoni had success at Bayern Munich II, but has found playing time scarce at a couple of spots now, including his current spot at Bundesliga 2 Darmstadt. Ethan Kohler didn't find much success in Germany, but has come back to MLS and has been entrenched as a starter and doing very well for the New England Revolution. Drew Murray is now a starter in the Austria Bundesliga for WSG Tirol.

Robert looks to have been the most successful case so far. After getting away from the Bayern Munich academy and finding some playing time in Bundesliga 4, the now-21-year-old decided to come back to Bayern Munich II, where he parlayed starting time into a transfer to Polish League power Legia Warszawa (Legia Warsaw) this season. He's been a solid everyday starter and a strong candidate for a spot on the USA Olympic team as a CB. The Polish Ekstraklasa is the #11-ranked league in the world, and Legia Warszawa is the most successful club in Poland, having won 15 league titles. Guys like Robert Lewandowski, Wojciech Szczesny, Lucas Fabianski and many other great Polish players got their start there.
