I would’ve liked to see him and Luna here, they deserve the chance to at least compete for a spot. Guti not being released for the first camp or two really hurt his stock in my opinion.
Congrats on 1k, well deserved! I hope we take Pepi and Tillman because I think they’d take us to another level, and still allow room for overage players
Thank you! It would be a little harsh on some of the guys who have been with this group for the whole cycle and have earned their spots, but ultimately adding players like Pepi, Reyna, Tillman, or Scally would improve the team drastically and give us a legit shot at a medal.
Love your roster reaction videos, especially when it involves the younger players. Great takes. With final roster of only 18, a lot of players and fans are going to be disappointed with something. Luna and Maloney seem like the biggest snubs to me. If Dietz is healthy and doesn’t make it, that would be a big snub. I trust Mitrović more than Gregg, and will be rooting hard for these guys… it will be a ton of fun to watch! Congrats on 1K guys! 🎉🙌🏽
Thank you! There’ll definitely be some controversial decisions with the final roster, but that kind of problem is what we’ve been wanting to have for decades. I fully trust Mitrović to make the best decisions for the team, even if I wouldn’t make the same choices. He seems like a manager that a squad would want to get behind and overachieve for.
Pretty good rooster. Just swap Cowell for Luna. I believe that 18-19 year olds will most likely not make the final rooster, but will be in the under 20 team. Adding Trusty and Pepi would make us formidable and I can see us fighting for a medal.
Definitely a strong pool of players, and I really hope that the teens like Esmir and Benja will be with the U20s and lead that team to a trophy in Mexico. I’m with you that if we add the right overage players to the roster (or even some underage senior team players), we have as good a chance as anyone to medal. Trusty and Pepi would be huge.
Maybe harsh on busio but that was nice to watch, express your opinions more often Yuri. I’d call up Pulisic, Ream and Jedi as my three overage players.
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate your continued support! Those three would definitely make us medal contenders, let’s hope we can push for a podium finish, even with the current roster I’m certain we have a chance.
My 18 + 4 Alternates (Assuming Club releases are ok'd) GK: Schulte/Gaga FB: Wiley, Reynolds, Harriel ALTS: Brady, Tolkin, Gutierrez or Morris, Downs. CB: Trusty*, Zimm*, Dietz CM: Pukstas, Tessmann, McGlynn, Aaronson W: Paredes, Booth, Yow, Luna ST: Vazquez*, Pepi. Only brought one LB because Paredes/Trusty can deputize there. I'd personally bring Gutierrez over Morris as an alternate but thats just me. Wings pick themselves. ST bringing both Vazquez and Pepi allows options and rotations considering how condensed olympic schedule is with 3 group stage matches with only 2 days in-between each. I look at Cowell's profile and wondered about bringing him as an alternate over Downs but his production has been poor for 2 years now, I can't justify bringing him. Neal and Busio just miss out for me as alternates.
I like the roster, lots of tough decisions to make but that’s the beauty of having so many deserving players. Fully agree with the 1 LB thing, that’s why to me (Braden) Harriel is likely to make the final squad (unless Scally is somehow there). Good alternate picks in theory, although I will say that I highly doubt the Fire would release Brady and Gutierrez to go and not play at all. It’s going to be a very interesting game against Japan, let’s see who impresses!
Having Balogun or Pepi would definitely be huge! Agree with Pulisic, if Miles wasn’t going to Copa America I’d be fine with him at Olympics but he shouldn’t play in both tournaments, and there’s bigger needs on this roster than GK, although Turner seems like the type of player to want to play in the Olympics.
Agreed, but unfortunately it looks like Mitrović won’t play with a 10 most of the time. A midfield of Tessmann, Busio/McGlynn, and Paxten would work wonders.
@@AMERICANULTRASTALK you know it's weird to play a different system than the 1st team. We have multiple good 10's one he didn't even call up. Which is mind blowing idk if I believe in this coach tbh
In fairness the 6s and 8s are also really strong with this group, there’s a lot of tough decisions to be made in terms of player selection and tactics. From what I’ve seen so far from this group, Mitrović seems to know what he’s doing.
@@AMERICANULTRASTALK Maybe. I don't know if it would be good for Pulisic to do. All that playing it might make him prone for injury. Reyna and Pepi, that is different as they have not been playing much for their clubs.
There’s players I’d rather take but considering the weakness at CB and how young the group is, having one guy in there that has a lot of experience and is a good leader isn’t the worst thing
Gutierrez was a snub… watched the fire game last week and he’s by far their best player
I would’ve liked to see him and Luna here, they deserve the chance to at least compete for a spot. Guti not being released for the first camp or two really hurt his stock in my opinion.
May not have been released
Congrats on 1k, well deserved!

Was that an ad I see before the vid? Congrats on monetization guys!

Muitíssimo obrigado!

They should not bring Robinson. That is so dumb. Also give Jalen Neal some experience.
Neal and Dietz are the only two age-eligible CBs I would be ok with
Get Balogun there and we’re getting gold, miles, Pulisic and Turner would be the best 3 overage
Having Balogun or Pepi would definitely be huge! Agree with Pulisic, if Miles wasn’t going to Copa America I’d be fine with him at Olympics but he shouldn’t play in both tournaments, and there’s bigger needs on this roster than GK, although Turner seems like the type of player to want to play in the Olympics.
Really much rather see Paxton after 10. I'm hoping he gets at least some minutes in the Olympics at the 10
Agreed, but unfortunately it looks like Mitrović won’t play with a 10 most of the time. A midfield of Tessmann, Busio/McGlynn, and Paxten would work wonders.

@@AMERICANULTRASTALK sure but the 1st team is going to play with a 10 the under 23's should be developing a 10 to contest with Gio and Tilman.
No way Pulisic plays both COPA and Olympics!
It does seem very unlikely, especially since he wasn’t mentioned, however, there’s always a slight chance of the impossible happening in the sport!
@@AMERICANULTRASTALK Maybe. I don't know if it would be good for Pulisic to do. All that playing it might make him prone for injury. Reyna and Pepi, that is different as they have not been playing much for their clubs.
Japan 🇯🇵 will get a medeal
It’s possible, let’s see how they do against the USA 🇺🇸 in the upcoming friendly
I don’t I think we need walker his time is over
