OCTOBER ROSTER DROP + USMNT chat with Kyle Bonn
The gang is heading to Nashville for USMNT camp, with a trip to play Germany in Connecticut in between.
We begin by picking Kyle’s brain on some big-picture USMNT topics. Then we delve into the 23 guys called in for this October roster.
Intro…
* Hartford, Connecticut foliage report
* North Carolina foliage report
* Naked lady climbing electrical wires in Winston-Salem
* How Kyle got into soccer journalism
The big picture (5:35)
* Is this the most talented USMNT roster of all time?
* Only 2 MLS players in camp (Miles Robinson/Atlanta United and DeJuan Jones/New England Revolution). What’s the right balance between players based domestically and players plying their trade abroad?
* Players moving abroad too soon/players not finding the right club
* Should Brenden Aaronson have stayed at Leeds this season?
* Post-Leeds USA drama…. do we still want multiple guys at one club?
* The buddy system
Going through the October roster (19:45 until the end)
* Matt Turner’s move to Nottingham Forest
* Ethan Horvath’s bummer of a situation
* Gregg’s goalkeeper message
* Are we appreciating Jedi enough?
* The center back pool, are we happy with who is in camp?
* Are we worried about Chris Richards?
* Gregg Berhalter and Gio Reyna convene over Zoom
* Where Gregg sees Gio playing positionally
* Tyler Adams re-injures hamstring, may need surgery
* What Kyle hopes to see in the midfield this window
* More Balo!
* Expectations

** Somewhere in this chat I referenced that this roster is playing in “seven or more” leagues. They are in fact spread across nine countries, playing in multiple divisions therein. From US Soccer: “The 23 players ply their trade in nine different countries: Germany (5), Italy (5), England (4), Netherlands (3), USA (2), Brazil (1), France (1), Scotland (1), Spain (1)”
