They also delved into the pool of strikers of the USMNT, ranking them based on their current form. Plus, they highlighted the importance of Tyler Adams' leadership skills and how a player like Antonee Robinson can boost the US defensive line.Finally, Rog asked our GFOPs to suggest a US Men's Team nickname before the upcoming Copa America.VOTE FOR THE USMNT NICKNAME: mibcourage.co/USMNT2024See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
