I guess given the team is so young and so many guys have yet to establish themselves you could say it about a few players outside of Pulisic, Reyna, and now Pepi probably gets mentioned a ton - as to who is going to be the best player of this generation/team.

I've been following him for a bit, I wish I said it sooner, but the more I see the more I think it. I think Musah could be the best out of all these young guys. He has a good touch, and his size and athleticism isn't something these other guys have in the midfield and up front.

He looks like he sees the game well, but hasn't completely wowed me in that regard yet but I feel something is there. He mishit the cross but I believe he took it on his first touch about 5 minutes ago. It was a good idea.

The 28th minute he just won the ball in the midfield, holding a guy off on one side with a simple touch just knocks back a 50/50 ball to a teammate and we win control. It's such a simple play, but I don't recall ever seeing an American do it with such ease. I have high hopes for this kid.

He needs to find a club that will stop trying to make him a winger

Completely agree. I think he'll get a shot at a bigger club, and hopefully they'll do right.. Not that they're terribly small, I just think highly of him as a prospect..

I just really have been excited ever since I watched him when I read he switched to the US.

I have no problem with Valencia at all in theory but they haven't played him centrally for the first team and to me he's just clearly a central midfielder. So at some point he's got to decide if they're right for him.

Do US soccer fans prefer having a brit commentator rather than an American ?

John Strong from FOX is basically the only American commentator who has figured out the proper cadence for calling soccer. So largely Brits because aside from Strong they tend to be pretty bad.
