A very young squad, with all the issues a young squad has (turning off, mental errors), but a lot to be impressed about the WCQ around the corner(ish).
Reyna should be a world class midfielder and our best player in two years even with a healthy Pulisic. We have talent playing in the top divisions for some major clubs. Hope players like Dest, McKennie, Konrad, etc. can carve roles at major clubs.
He's in the same boat as Ledesma, Llanez, etc. They become starters for their club (or primary subs), then they likely get close to being pencilled in.
most of these guys can play in the Olympics right?
there's a lot of work yet to be done. Gotta be some guys in the pipe with range, speed, *quickness*, and physicality to go along with some reading the attack/instincts for the position, is that too much to ask?

Also Steffen is overrated.
Otherwise a lot to be hopeful about. They really need a no. 9, so if Giaocchini can be that guy that'd be great.
Pulisic - Sargent - Reyna
McKennie - Adams - ? (hopefully Musah)
Robinson - Brooks - Miazga - Dest
Steffen
Have weaknesses at RCB and GK, but....
2022 is likely too soon, but 2026 could be fun.
Dest — Miazga— Brooks — Robinson
McKennie —- Adams
Weah — Reyna — Pulisic
Altidore
Hopefully sargent can replace altidore

He got a start at RB, was widely considered to be a successful debut, then an injury. Flick apparently really likes him.
Just depends on what happens to Alaba, Boateng, etc.
Haven't watched MLS this year much, so can't really comment.
