Things we learned: -GGG can sacrifice tactical ambition for pragmatism -Matt Turner is the most in-form keeper in the pool and should be the starter -Acosta is the Adams back-up -Hoppe is an elite wing/forward prospect -Miles Robinson is the starter next to Brooks -the scrappy, resilient team culture is back and better than ever -we are deeper than ever, we aren’t just developing high end talent -we are right on track to be outsider contenders in 2026 It’s really nice to love soccer again. My other teams suck, so this is great for me. I don’t like Alexi Lalas but when he cried in the postgame show, I felt that.
