If either Pulisic or Reyna are back practicing/playing with their clubs by then, I absolutely call them into camp. The Mexico game will be at home on a good playing surface. Mexico is rough but they won't be hacking guys like El Salvador/Honduras. Puli and Gio can fly back to Europe and skip Jamaica. 6 point game with Mexico, gotta have it.
Pulisic is close…ish. Tuchel sort of implied he may be fit for the Southampton match during the week. Pulisic should be fit for November. Now will Gregg risk him?
Leave Pulisic, let him fully recover. The players from the last window have proven they can win without him and Reyna. Then bring them in for the window after this one.
We need to be smart about Pulisic and Reyna. If they don't play in at least one game before the roster is announced, we shouldn't bring them. And even then, we should only expect to use them in a limited capacity. 15-20 min maybe. But can we afford to use up 2 spots on guys who are planned late game subs at best? And with how long these injuries are taking to recover from, I'm afraid they could be easily aggravated, especially adding in the strains of extended travel. So yeah, it's probably best if they stay home.
If Pulisic and Reyna are healthy I would call them in and start them against Mexico. I don't care if they play a game for there clubs (Pulisic is supposed to play next week) before the November camp. We need out best players against Mexico.
I may be cold for this, but this Mexico game is too important. We should be battling for first place not struggling to hang on to 2nd. I'd rather they hop on one leg and sacrifice the next window if they can make the difference and it means winning that one all-important game.
Do you think Andres Perea would consider playing with the USMNT? He is a dual columbian national playing at Orlando City SC. He is a possible backup to Tyler Adams that's a bit better than Sands. But I don't know if he has already been capped by Columbia. Has he made any indication which way he wants to go? Be good to cap tie him next window if he is interested. Same thing with Jesus Ferreira who plays for FC Dallas who is also a Columbian Dual national. But Jesus is more a CAM so not really a place of him on GGG's team unless he likes to play winger.

risk everything, US is all that matters
Let them recover, Mexico will break Pulisic. Plus we shouldn’t be experimenting with formations against Mexico.
I would call Pulisic (play him in game 2) and leave Reyna back.

I'd rather be safe and let them return and gain form with their clubs. I trust them with Tuchel and Rose more than Berhalter anyway.
I read somewhere that Pepi was out due to a cut. Nothing serious but they didn't want it to open back up
Ferencváros = Fer-ents-var-osh

With Reyna and Pulisic both having nagging injuries Konrad should definitely be in the next group for November.
Since Vines is back, will Gregg call him in and leave Scally off? Of course he will…
I’m interested in Cappis, Wright, and Sabbi to see what they have to offer on the USMNT

yes. its like having a nice car and not wanting to drive it because youre scared you might crash.
whats a rock fight
Yes, it’s an opportunity for them to knock off the rust
I would have crabapple fights. fill our pockets with crabapples and would chuck them at each other
Brando was gonna be the next Sonic Youth. Change my mind.

(sigh) In Arriola we trust. Let's go.
You skimmed over Brian White? He's had 10 goals, including a hat trick and 2 assists in the last 12 games for Vancouver.
Derek and Brett – are there any good pure #6s in MLS that you think warrant a look for the USMNT?

Pepi has a cut on the top of his foot.

Pulisic should sit it out. Too risky playing under berhalter
I’m pretty sure we can say without a doubt now Pulisic is injury prone
