usmnt - the "could've, should've, would've" lineup for wc 2018

6/29/2018

 
The lineup that the USMNT could’ve, should’ve and would’ve beaten Panama with – “Panama” for God’s sake – to get into this World Cup with a strong chance to win this wide open tournament:

Wood     Dempsey     Nguyen
Pulisic   Torres             Nagbe
Shea       Ream             Bradley     Yedlin
                       Howard

With, of course, a few simple, agreeable, common sense, friendly, conditions.,..Possession, possession, possession, with the defenders adding to the attack like Dan Marino to Duper and Clayton. 
   This lineup could've only been strengthened with bench support from up and coming talent, Sargent, Weah and a few others. But, this lineup is key as the center piece...and w/ a few alterations, including Dempsey, Yedlin, Bradley and Howard, for now, this lineup is prime and ready for Qatar 2022.  
     Hello. Yes, I'm fully aware of writing a blog post on a Saturday night, with nothing to do, and the obvious ramifications it has for my "social reputation." Oh no, not that. Bruce Arena just wrote a book, essentially with my title, claiming he has the answers...the guy who had 3 shots at the World Cup. One, two, three. That's like Sug Knight giving a tour of his favorite strip club showing off all the "upstanding, college-bound young women." And, in fact, some of them might be heading for college. Because not all strippers just strip; they have dreams; they have goals; and they have people like Sug Knight telling them how great they are. Hello, I feel like "guy calling radio station" from One Crazy Summer. Good movie btw. Probably in Arena's top five I'm guessing. Strong performance by Cusack and Demi Moore. Hoops. Bobcat Goldthwait. One Crazy Summer.
