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.
I think this calls for a China special Ben Sweat USA jersey. Can't wait to wear it to a playoff game.
Did he really unseat him even? It seems to me that Dome simply doesn't see Mata as a fullback.Solid burn by USSF
Since arriving in the Big Apple, Sweat has been a regular for NYCFC, unseating Costa Rica international Ronald Mattarita as the club’s starting left back and earning 53 appearances during the last two seasons.

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.
Dome likes his guys.
VillafanaOh, 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.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.
I actually think Sweat has played pretty well over the last month (outside of this last game of course).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.
If a single bootleg Ben Sweat USMNT jersey exists on this planet, I would be quite surprised.
Also Garza and Castillo. Maybe Morrow as well. At least last year’s form MorrowVillafana
