Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 2330928, member: 523"] The goal is clearly to win the World Cup in 2026. Or at least make the semis. Listen, whether we make it or not, don't expect big things in Russia. No way will the organizers allow the US to advance. Every bad break, far flung travel schedule, and questionable call that normally goes against us in big tournaments will be multiplied by 40 in Russia. Build for 2026, that is 9 years away. Our player pool is now between the ages of 12 and 25. If you aren't a lock starter for Russia, and not in that age range you should be out in favor of guys who can play now and have a chance to play in 2026. That goes for Qatar too. The only bench guys older than that should be in spots where we don't curently have any 2026 or 2022 prospects. The older bench guys need to be moved on right after the Hex. [/QUOTE]
