    Here is The Guardian's expected Starting 11 for Wales (5 EPL, 2 Championship, 2 Ligue 1, 1 Serie A, 1 MLS): Hennessey (35): Nottingham Forest Ampadu (22): Spezia Rodon (25): Rennes Davies (29): Tottenham Roberts (27): Burnley Williams (21): Nottingham Forest Ramsey (31): Nice Allen (32): Swansea City Bale (33): LAFC James (25): Fulham Johnson (21): Nottingham Forest

    Exactly. If they all suck, play and select the guys in form at their best position. I have no problem with ggg picking Wright over Pefok because they are redundant in the Berhalter System and Wright is in form. I do have a problem with picking Jesus (out of form and really a 10 not a 9) or especially Morris (move Sargent to the wing and bring in Pepi) over Pepi (in form and obviously a 9). Yeah, we are advocating for the guys international scouts have identified and moved to Europe over the guys stuck in MLS. It's questionable whether ggg even made the worst decisions on this roster (4 RBs, Morris, Roldan) given that they all involved selecting an MLS player over a Euro-based player but all of those decisions are indefensible. The selection of every MLS player on the roster other than Acosta and Zimmerman is questionable. The only questionable decision involving a Euro-based player is Wright.

    You bring someone who could possibly contribute in a positive way like Djordje Mihailovic who earned a transfer to AZ in January or an emerging talent like Tillman. You don't need 5 FBs. That's the point. Cannon made sense as a 5th FB because he's actually a CB so he provides depth at both positions. Bringing Yedlin AND Moore makes zero sense. Just a waste of a roster spot. Just like Morris.

    9 of the 26 are from MLS. We can also dump the "youngest team in the world" bullshit with 10 guys at least 27.

    It's pretty clear that US Soccer insists on filling out the back of the roster with MLS players.

    It's not like our starting 8s and their primary backup are all returning from recent muscle injuries. At least we have 4 RBs though.

    Worst CB pairing and starting 9 in the World Cup.

    I'm not sure that greggg could have picked a worse roster

    As we all knew, greggg is the dumbest fuck on the planet and should be publicly executed. This asshole is going to start Long and Jesus for sure. Group stage exit guaranteed

    USMNT 2022

    Jesus Christ. Morris, Roldan, Long, Yedlin AND Jesus. These dudes are all awful players. No Pepi either
  13. alincoln

    USMNT 2022

    Shaq Moore on the roster instead of Cannon which the new leak also had. New leak also had no Tillman

    USMNT 2022

    They just read it on a stream. No Pepi. Haji Wright, Roldan and Morris all in. Can't be true The no Steffen is true

    New roster leak is insane if true

    Cannon actually plays CB for his club so he provides depth as the 5th FB and 5th CB.

    To be fair to gregg, which I generally avoid, Ream is only on the roster due to Richards' injury. Richards has confirmed that he is missing out due to injury. Similarly, Roldan is an injury policy for LDLT and McKennie who are both returning from muscle injuries that could easily flare up during the WC. Neither of those guys are in the 26 w/o the injuries. My biggest concern remains Long and Jesus as likely starters and the insistence on the dual 8 system (which as noted above is basically confirmed by the player selection).

    USMNT 2022

    The GKs and D are exactly as expected except Ream comes in for an injured Richards. No real surprises in MF or F except that LDLT is healthy enough to make the team but Gregggg still thinks he needs to bring Roldan. Also no room for Pefok as expected or Arriola or Morris (I really thought one of them would go). All of this suggests that Greggggg is entirely wedded to his 4-3-3 system with two 8s with Reyna and Aaronson playing exclusively on the wing instead of potentially as a 10.

    Here is the leaked roster

    And Ream is only going because Richards is injured.

    USMNT 2022

    By the way, here is my gergggg prediction (changes in bold): GK: Turner, Steffen, Johnson FB: Dest, Cannon, Robinson, Scally, Yedlin CB: Zimmerman, Long, CCV, Richards CM: Adams, Musah, McKennie, Acosta, Roldan Wing: Pulisic, Reyna, Aaronson, Weah, Arriola, Morris 9: Pepi, Ferreira, Sargent I switched Tillman for Morris at the last second because gerrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggg

    This is where I am. He has been fine to good over his last five games and we have no one else.

    What's your preferred World Cup 26? Not your projection but who you would actually select. GK: Turner, Steffen, Horvath FB: Dest, Cannon, Robinson, Scally, Yedlin CB: Zimmerman, Ream, CCV, Richards CM: Adams, Musah, McKennie, Acosta, DLT (Mihailovic if DLT injured), Tillman Wing: Pulisic, Reyna, Aaronson, Weah 9: Pepi, Pefok, Sargent (also an option at RW), Vazquez My 24-26 were Tillman, Vazquez and Yedlin, respectively. Tillman provides something different than the other options at CM. I don't need another hold it together back-up like Acosta and DLT. Tillman can carry the ball forward. I would rather play Sargent at RW than Arriola so we would need another 9 if Sargent plays on the wing. I prefer someone who can score (Vazquez) to someone who can't (Jesus) as my 9. FB strikes me as an area where we could lose some guys to injury so we should probably add someone there. Yedlin wasn't good this season but he has World Cup experience. He wouldn't play for my team absent some bizarre developments so leadership/experience is enough to get him on the plane as the last guy on the roster.
