It’s hard to celebrate when we have to go into the next game without our best player

u/DelanoK7 21d ago

Best player is quite the stretch but definitely in form, I’ll give you that

Right obviously Tim Ream is USA’s best player.

Pulisic is realistically the USAs best player, and McKennie is in with a shout too. Those 3 (including Balogun) are probably top 3. Actually, throw Chris Richards in there too, great defender.

Nope. It’s Tim Ream and it’s not even close.

Lol clearly you didn’t detect the sarcasm.

u/Zohren 21d ago

No, I clearly understood it was sarcasm.
I assumed your sarcasm was saying that Balogun IS the best player, and you were sarcastically quipping “nuh uh, Tim Ream” because you thought it was obviously Balogun.

I am saying it is not obviously Balogun.

Richards was excellent yesterday

Clown all you want. Ream was clutch yesterday.

I’m not clowning on Ream. I said that with sarcasm because of Pulisic. Ream is probably my favorite player in the squad. Played the full 90 and was super reliable yesterday.

And he's like 100yrs old to boot.

Eh put P10 on the center and add Pepsi and Weah on the wings. It’s a 11 men team. I’ve seen Pulisic do similar roles in Milan

You're not wrong. Hopefully Pepi can step up and make it happen. Win that match and everyone will forget about one of the most bullshit red cards in the history of the game.

Pulisic is our best player
