2018 International Duty

Boy, have we gotten mean around here...

I have my doubts about this one too, but it's a huge moment for one of our guys, and I wish him the best, for sure.

of course,....but we all have short memories in this sport so we all remember this howler at last game. still, his performances have not been that great for most of the season ( i think) if this was camp cupcake (non fifa date) no one would bat an eye but fifa week with euro based players? that is why its been questioned.
 
I think this calls for a China special Ben Sweat USA jersey. Can't wait to wear it to a playoff game.

pfft way ahead of you, im sure they got some good bootlegs in queens, i legit saw a few people with bootlegs last home game, ......we made it, we famous team now, worthy of bootlegs.

Ha!

Think that's pretty well deserved in terms of how he's some American player that has held down a starting spot in a top league team after coming from nowhere and showing a lot of endeavour and creativity in his play,

He has been on a bit of a downward turn in the last couple of months though, so the timing is a bit daft.
 
I mean it's great for Ben Sweat don't get me wrong, but what does this say about the American LB pool that Ben Sweat is on the national team?

Listen, he's a good player in MLS. Not a great player, but a good player. But if Ben Sweat is about he best we can do -- even if he's only 5th on the depth chart ... goodness.

Oh, there is no depth at LB for the USMNT. I can't even think of a American MLS player that should be called up in place in Sweat.

And I can't even think of any star youth players in our academy or USYNT that are rising up soon...

If a single bootleg Ben Sweat USMNT jersey exists on this planet, I would be quite surprised.

I actually think Sweat has played pretty well over the last month (outside of this last game of course).
