Nice Damion Downs shoutout in this one (and @scoutedftbl.com is always fantastic)
Everyone is after Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyökeres, Hugo Ekitiké, Benjamin Šeško and so on, but who are the best up-and-coming centre-forwards that may represent better value for money in an increasingly competitive and expensive market?
Jake Entwistle has run the numbers to pinpoint prospects.

1) This cover is old enough to drink
2) Of the other countries on the cover, only Italy advanced from the group stage
Yes, I’m rooting for chaos next summer #usmnt

Enjoyed this one immensely (and the @jameshorncastle.bsky.social Baggio book can’t arrive soon enough)
Dispatches from Libero's Bilbao Bureau bring word of an all-English final that was not the greatest advert for the 'Best League in the World™', so instead @jameshorncastle.bsky.social, @brewin.bsky.social and @rorysmith.bsky.social discuss the Italian perspective on football in 2025

Excellent article...two things jumped out:
1) Crazy how thin the opportunity margins are, even in a developed soccer nation
2) A refreshing perspective on youth development

Terrific analysis of Robinson's season - didn't realize he is THAT good in the air #USMNT
Doing an Antonee Robinson vs. Milos Kerkez side-by-side comparison. Which one would you rather see your club sign?

A "State of the USMNT pool" view: here's % of minutes played by ClubELO score this season across the Big 5 + Eng Champ.
1) Adams, Richards, Weah, Musah, McKennie, Pulisic, and Cardoso with decent minutes on good teams.
2) Robinson (!), Aaronson, Scally, and McKenzie with tons of playing time.

Good example of what @scuffed.bsky.social mentioned about Musah leveling up. Tracks back, casually dribbles a guy, progresses, connects - love it

Loved the awareness from Luna here to make a penetrating run as soon as McGlynn received the ball.
Nothing came from this run, but hope we see this combo again in the Gold Cup #usmnt

I think one of the most interesting USMNT decisions over the next year is how Pochettino ultimately plays Musah…
Is he the ball-carrying central mid who needs some defensive cover and passing help?
Or is he the wide midfielder who needs additional attack on his wing (and can Dest solve this?)

One of the qualities I appreciate most is players who continually find space off the ball. Watch how Reyna creates it through subtle movement in the build-up.

Nice thru-ball from McKennie leading to a corner in what’s been a dire game so far (I say this as a Milan fan)

About to dive in on the latest from @scuffed.bsky.social and must say that was the most enjoyable USMNT game in ages. Most aesthetically pleasing collection of goals since…Donovan’s hat trick against Ecuador?
