Assuming Poch plays his best XI vs Mexico, maybe it's something like this: Freese Freeman - Richards - Trusty - Jedi Seb - Adams Dest - Tillman - Gio Hall

Chile deserved the equalizer. Brady was shaky the entire half (Enter Schwake). US has a 118-48 advantage in touches in opponents half but down in touches in opposing half (9-8). Dest & Reyna are the only ones that can pass or dribble into opposing box. Likely need a third (Albert/Gozo for Raines)

Incredible dummy by Hall

Tutul Rahman @tutul.bsky.social · 22h

25 minutes in, USMNT has a 43-25 advantage in touches in the opposing half but is down 3-4 in touches in the box. Likely means you have to take out one of the Mehmeti, Raines, Berhalter trio for a more attacking player at half

Tutul Rahman @tutul.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Assuming a full rotation for USMNT to be able to play the best lineup against Mexico, then maybe something like: Schwake Westfield, Richards, Miles, Jedi Raines Berhalter Mehmeti Dest Hall Albert

I watched the game yesterday with a Peruvian fan who didn't know much about the US team at all. He thought Cavan was the best player on the field by a lot. Had no.context on his age or hype, just by watching the game.

Tutul Rahman @tutul.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Perhaps calling up #6 on the list can be on the docket next time

Tutul Rahman @tutul.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Interested to see Peyton at LB & how Ellis does as a linking ST. And obviously Cavan. It's a very experienced Peru side (average age 31 vs US's 23) with a ton of familiar names for MLS fans.

It's easy for full-on USMNT fans & experts to think of the upcoming friendlies as zero stakes thought experiments toward 2030. I'd like to dismiss that notion If we want any momentum from the World Cup, then each game needs higher attendance & viewership than before. These games have to matter. 1/

I'm pretty sure he'll be training with the Man City first team in the off season, so City can get a feel of how much can transfer over. Pretty sure he did the same at the u21 level last year (and did well).

Cavan Sullivan has 10 goal contributions (5g/5a) in his last 8 games and has a second half to go still. Messi has 11 goal contributions (7g/4a) in his last 8. You know for comparison's sake.

Very smart roster here. We absolutely cannot do a youth revelation with only eyes to 2030. That's not how good programs are built, it needs to build on each other. I think this roster does that & keeps us trying to win each of the four friendlies (important to keep audience engaged)

For years Cavan Sullivan has been more a prophecy than a player. That changed this summer. We have pro data on him now and it's very, very exciting — by some measures he might already be the best teenager MLS has ever seen. Wrote about his game for @theguardian.com:

Man City-bound 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan is MLS’s chaotic revelation

The Philadelphia Union midfielder has gotten his longest run of game time since turning pro, and the data is tantalizing

Messi's been the best player in the league by a country mile. 2026: 26 goal contributions (next best Evander: 23) 2025: 58 goal contributions (next best Dreyer: 40) 2024: 32 goal contributions in 22 games (Pec had 34 in 38 games) Kinda an insane argument that its handed to him

Donkor 's dribble and ability to hold the ball is so so good. But the difference is when he's making fast decisions to keep the ball moving off his foot. Too often, the decision takes too long. But when he's quick with the decision .. he's so so good.

One way to think of SKCs moves is thinking about the net of the moves w/o the cash. SKC gave up: +Jovelic (ST) +Manu Garcia (AM) +and used a u22 spot SKC got: +Andre Luiz (W) +Owen Wolff (CM) +$3M GAM to upgrade roster +Freed DP slot I think the net of that makes sense, to upgrade the roster

As a Bolton fan, I welcome this move. Bolton's gonna need the speed on counters after getting promoted from League One and currently having a talent deficiency vs the rest of the Championship. Should be able to push for a starting role.

This is the best 35 minutes from the Red Bulls in a while. Very clear ideas moving forward with fast interplay, while also not letting up a jail break counter & getting back in transition. Hasn't resulted in breaking the deadlock, but this is a good look so far
