Starting a thread of 2004 and 2005-born center backs starting a league match in Europe this season.
Let’s say top 5 leagues plus Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium.
Obviously a lot of clubs to check weekly. Feel free to help out!

Full credit to Pepi. Could’ve gone down asking for a penalty when the defender put his arm up to his neck but he fought through it. He gives Groningen a lifeline before HT.

I don't think any rational fan thinks the USMNT is a manager away from being a legit top 10 team. If everyone is on their game, we're top 15-20.
I want a manager that can get us a potential extra game or two in 2026. I don't think the current manager is one of those managers.

6 years ago today, Landon Donovan scored his last USMNT goal. It was against Mexico in the WCQ match that clinched our WC spot. 2-0 win. Assisted the other goal.

Gotta remember that Sargent moved to a new country w/ a pregnant wife at 21 yrs old last summer. That's a huge stress on someone's life regardless of what their job is. After living in the same area for a year and the baby is likely sleeping all night now, Sargent is re-focused.

I'm not anti-Ferreira. I'm not.
But Pefok scores that early chance and Ferreira isn't great at headers. I remember a WCQ where he put his foot up to his shoulder to shoot instead of heading the ball. There are a few missed headers from him in just 2022. Not a strength of his.
