I dont dislike Lleget, but he’s not good enough to be starting any competitive matches.

Was pretty disappointed in Dike tonight before that goal. Hope that gets him rolling now.

Lletget seems like a great guy and he's putting in all the effort but he's just not at that level technically. For a career MLS player he's done very well to make it this far but we've got other options now.

Agreed. I think even in that half, Musah showed he probably should’ve been getting the minutes Lleget got in the nations league. He’s got some quality to him.

Lozano had a few pops from distance that were easily saved, fluffed a 1v1 and bottled it in the big moment. Woeful player.

No he wasn't that good. I'm mostly just trolling Zat because he insisted Lozano was the next big thing and now he's a slightly above average Serie A player who is probably at his peak.

Lozano would have been a great signing for Everton. He still would be.

Played out of position last season and now hitting a goal every 3 games for Napoli.

I believe Pulisic scored 6 in 43 appearances for a top side.

If you truly believe that Lozano is a "woeful player" then i wonder how you would describe Pulisic if he was Mexican?

Granted his career had the early-mid 20s Premadonvan stretch when he hated football (had depression issues, went to the wrong Euro club twice) but Donovan was way better than any of these guys when he was 18 and peak late 20s Donovan was the best player we've ever had.

If 5-6 of these kids are gonna be light years better than Donovan was then we gonna be Belgium.

I'm gonna disagree. Pulisic either scored or assisted on the US's I believe last 10 goals of qualifying. You're free to disagree but I don't see it the same at all.

These guys are all making teams and sticking around where as Landon was just a failure in Europe in my opinion.

Reyna, Pulisic, Mckennie, Dest, Musah... all these guys are going to fly by him in my opinion.

I don't even think it's close that the first 3 surpassed him. But to each his own. Landon wasn't bad, or didn't succeed at all. He just didn't do the things I've always looked for in an American footballer.

And those are

A.) Play in Europe. Play well and while as a fan I hate it, they all gotta go to the biggest club possible.
B) Break the mold on the typical American player. We're known for being unskilled athletes who will run their asses off (almost to a stupid extent that hurts performance), solid teamwork in terms of discipline and shape and just trying to get one in on the heavyweights.

Landon was skilled for an American player but if you look at his greatest goals, moments, etc. They almost always rely on his speed and endurance. It's rarely something of finesse and skill that make it.

Just my 2 cents, not taking anything away from your point of view. I know a lot more people agree with you than me Rook.
