    Pulisic played the last 15+stoppage and created multiple opportunities for Dortmund to kill it off. Would have a hockey assist on one that Alcacer put off the crossbar and down on the line. Looked pretty good and did some good things tracking back too.

    Better than anything else we’ve (USMNT) got at that position. He can definitely start for most any team in the top tiers of football across Europe save the elite.

    He’s played CB with USYNT but best position is as a #6, insanely good passing range.

    I don’t see Durkin as a defender, but having a CB as good on the ball as he is would be cool

    Aren't we pretty set at CB for the foreseeable future with JAB, Miazga, CCV, EPB, etc?

    other than JAB (and that's only when he's healthy) I don't think any of those guys are even close to a sure thing. a lot of potential there, but I wouldn't put a guarantee on any of them.

    Durkin really only played CB as kind of an experiment/lack of many good options at a recent camp iirc. He'd most always played the 6 outside of that at both the national teams and club. Wouldn't read too much into that.

    Miazga and EPB’s loans have been a disaster this season and CCV’s ceiling is a Championship level or bottom table EPL starter.

    Richards might have the most upside, but as of now I’d like to see Long start next to Brooks.

    CCV can't find playing time at Swansea and when he does he is a liability. Maybe it's the style of play as Swansea plays from the back and plays with a lot of possession but he looks out of it on the pitch.

    Weah’s movement is great. He’s solid as a winger but more dangerous as a striker making runs behind opposing defenses.

    if you're up for standing the whole game I would try to get tickets in the AO Supporters section (assuming you're going to a US game). I really enjoyed it last time around and I'm hoping one of the quarterfinal games in Philly has the US in it this year so I can do the same.

    It’s in June right? If it’s an early kickoff watch the east stands because they’ll be in the sun. If it’s an evening game then don’t worry about it.

    June 26th. Well, I'm counting on it being a night game since it's a weekday game but who knows. The east side is what I was wanting. Tix go on sale at 10.

    If it’s a weekday then you’ll be fine. If your group would want to sit than the East side is a good choice.

    I will be there. At least the rideshare queue at the end will be manageable.

    They should’ve just had it at the Phoenix Rising stadium.
