This team is better than the 2019 one that made the quarters and should have done better. Funny to think about adding Pepi and Reyna to that roster next summer.
I still think Freddy Adu gets a bad rap, so heres the video of him being the best player on the pitch vs Brazil and Marcello and it really wasn't even close.
We should absolutely roll out our best team in the Olympics for the reasons you just said and they should market the hell out of that team leading up to 2026. I didn’t realize that it’s only 18 man rosters, that will make for some interesting choices but I’m calling Pulisic, McKennie, and Adams to play in it too. Brenden A as an alternate to Pulisic since he just misses the u23 cut off. Forgot about Malik Tillman too.
The back line gives me some worry but they have done such a good job of holding possession and completing passes that it hasn’t been as much of an issue. Honduras had a couple of chances on the 2nd half but didn’t get the shot on goal. Also I read that Mbappe has it in his contract with PSG that they have to let him play in the Olympics. Would be fun to send both Aaronson’s to Paris.
