I think we are in decent shape to get out of the group, but it won’t be easy. Assuming the full squad is healthy by the start of the finals, this will be by far the best 11 we have ever put on the pitch in the tournament.
But a lifetime of watching the USMNT tells me that no matter what we will underwhelm. I am going to set my expectations low and cheer the team every minute.
It will be interesting to see what this team is capable of IF the full squad is fully healthy. We haven’t seen our best lineup play together yet.
It will be incredibly important to have somebody clearly separate themselves as a go-to #9 over the coming months. Pepi, Pefok, ****, **** even Sargent - somebody, anybody please step up. We need you
