Of the guys on this roster with a chance to make an impact at a world cup in 2 years, Tolkin is one (but he is still way behind Jedi), none of the CBs (which we desperately need), then maybe 1 or 2 of Tessman, Yow, McGlynn, Aaronson, Paredes make a big leap, but none are that close yet.

Tolkin and Lil'Aaron are the only 2 I consistently rate. 

There's a reason these kids play in the Olympics.

I love the energy our women have being younger than they were at World Cup. Definitely a good choice

Trusty played the 3rd most minutes in a top 5 league last year.  His absence as 1 of the 3 overage players is egregious.

Lol. Guyana commits a horrendous turnover that should at least result in a ball on frame and we give it straight back to them.

U23 baby!

And Paredes scores on a breakaway to put the States up, 2-0. Classic counterattack. Through ball from Paxten was pure sex.

US has been on the front foot this entire match and is being rewarded for it. Lots of pressure and quality chances.

Yeah - we're kicking their ass. 

Maybe the FRA game was the wake-up call we needed. These guys are good enough to medal if they can play like this a couple more times. 

Does anyone know who we likely play in QF?

Guyana's keeper: not great at clearing the ball.

You just threw up the Nap signal. Expect a geography lesson from our benevolent dictator any moment.

 

Edit: Haha and Inka was faster to the keyboard than Nap.
