it has brought me no pleasure to cover the Folarin Balogun red card suspension so I wrote about how FIFA's decision-making mars the #USMNT's chance at making history today -- and the World Cup as a whole
cbssports.com/soccer/news/fi…
the #USMNT lineup is almost an even split between World Cup players & the rest, which reminds me of something Tyler Adams said the other day
this generation has "less pressure" & will be able to "lean on guidance" unlike the post-2018 newcomers like him

there’s a proverbial six pointer in the #NWSL today (and on CBS in roughly a half hour), one that forces the question:
What exactly went wrong for the Kansas City Current … and are they in a mess of their own making?
cbssports.com/soccer/news/ka…
the Kansas City Current’s season can be split into two
- when Temwa Chawinga, Michelle Cooper and Croix Bethune are playing: 8 wins in 10, 2.4 xG per game
- when they aren’t playing: 3 wins in 15, 1.8 xG per game
Bethune’s out today, which maybe doesn’t bode well for them

#USMNT’s Mauricio Pochettino said he was aware of Noahkai Banks’ choice to play for Germany, but added “we want players with no doubt”
plus, Julian Hall said only the U.S. — not Poland — were in touch regarding the upcoming international break

#USMNT’s Mauricio Pochettino on Noahkai Banks’ decision to play for Germany:
“Yes, he called us … Yes, that is a situation that we need to deal with. We want players that show commitment but commitment is not 50%. It's 200% but it's good. He was honest.”
#USMNT-bound Julian Hall said Poland weren’t in touch about plaikng their upcoming UEFA Nations League games
“No. I just wanted to take this opportunity that presented itself with the U.S. and when I go there, I'm going to do as much as I can to make an impact and do well."
hello from Yankee Stadium, where Mauricio Pochettino *and* Pep Guardiola are so far being treated to a real stinker
no goals for NYCFC or RBNY, neither team has cracked 1 xG yet and #USMNT-bound Julian Hall has a total of 12 touches in 54 minutes
officially time to eat my words!
Julian Hall scores his first goal since May 13 to give RBNY a 1-0 lead, while his future #USMNT colleague Matt Freese really did not cover himself in glory with that one
Mauricio Pochettino's latest #USMNT roster was built with the future in mind but he did not shy away from suggesting some of the newcomers might be ready right now
"If some players … are performing and perform well, why are [we] going to [say] no?"
cbssports.com/soccer/news/us…
it's time to break out all your jokes about the Kids Being All Right, because the #USMNT roster is chock-full of 'em
13 uncapped players and 13 World Cup players headline the squad; Mauricio Pochettino's remarks coming shortly
cbssports.com/soccer/news/us…
#USMNT's Mauricio Pochettino mentions U.S. Soccer's ambition is to win gold at the Olympics in two years' time and this roster was partially designed with that in mind
#USMNT's Mauricio Pochettino says U-23 head coach Steve Cherundolo will be with the team during the international break - a lot of the uncapped players will be age-eligible for the Olympics in two years' time
NEW:
sources tell CBS Sports that #RBNY's Julian Hall is *also* on the #USMNT roster, the 18-year-old one of several rising talents who made the cut as the team undergoes a generational shift
cbssports.com/soccer/news/re…
NEW:
I spoke to Cavan Sullivan last night, who seems to be doing a very good job of taking all of the #USMNT hype around him in stride (and has taken Mauricio Pochettino's warning about "watching everything" seriously)
cbssports.com/soccer/news/ca…
#USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino plans to call up a mix of rising talents and experienced players when the team is back in session this fall
more on a "new start," working with Steve Cherundolo and … the Joe Keery ballad he was singing today
cbssports.com/soccer/news/us…
#USMNT player pool currently sits at around 100, a mix of talent Mauricio Pochettino has already worked with and newer faces
"I think it's important now to have this pool of a lot of players because I think players can evolve … and it's important to keep that connection"
and I kid you not, Mauricio Pochettino began today's availability by singing lyrics from "End of Beginning," the 2022 song from Stranger Things actor Joe Keery
(didn't make the piece but he also called Bon Jovi a "genius" after going to his Friday show)
