Superb performance from Joe Scally in ‘Gladbach’s 4-0 drubbing of Augsburg (and Noahkai Banks, who played well despite the result). Gio Reyna subbed in for Scally, who had a goal and a secondary assist, in the 85th minute. #USMNT

I talked with Noahkai Banks, the 19-year-old #USMNT centerback prospect who's getting tons of hype.
He told me he knows it's out there, but he isn't thinking about the World Cup right now.
Will that change if he keeps playing every week in the Bundesliga?

Noahkai Banks knows he’s getting a lot of USMNT hype, but he isn’t thinking about the World Cup yet
The 18-year-old centerback with German club Augsburg has all the physical and soccer tools to become big-time. If he keeps playing regularly, could there be room on the U.S. World Cup team for him?
