Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 2660672, member: 55"] Barring unforseen injuries and developments, CCV and Miazga and Brooks will be our center backs for the next world cycle. And CCV and Miazga looked solid. I thought that was one of Villafana's better games for the national team. Trapp was really, really solid. I've never viewed him as a national team player but maybe he's in the 22 over the next cycle. And the player most likely to help Pulisic and McKennie from what we saw yesterday is undoubtedly Tyler Adams. Needs to keep getting better in possession but the run he made to draw the penalty was unreal. Bobby Wood looked rusty or without confidence or both, but getting him the minutes now and in the summer might can only help him in his battle to get back in the lineup next season. Other guys did not show me they are going to be the answer. Certainly Saief is in that group. I agree he was all over the field, but he never accomplished anything with all of his possession. Delgado, while o.k., also didn't really have positive impact with the ball at his feet. And Nagbe was Nagbe -- flashing skill every so often, but then just not being impactful often enough. We hadn't won a game since the fiasco in Trinidad. That was what -- 5 months ago. I'm fine that he decided that he wanted everyone to leave this break remembering what winning was like. If people wanted to see more of the youngsters (I was more anxious to see Moore frankly than Weah at this point), the federation should have scheduled two games. I would expect, with three games between the European season and the World Cup, you will get a look at Sarachan's view of how we should enter the next four year cycle blending old and new. Of course, it's highly unlikely his view will matter. [/QUOTE]
