Perhaps Dike and Pefok need to stay with new teams to cement spots? Brooks' inconsistency with reliability has long been known - he's used all his passes.

I'm not surprised that Berhalter may be considering John Brooks, 28, to have essentially aged out of the national team pool. I am surprised that Gyasi Zardes, 30, has not.

Reports are that he has an attitude problem, especially when he doesn't start matches, and mind you these reports are coming out of Wolfsburg and with USMNT 🤷🏽

I think with Brooks it is more performance than age. He has played poorly, especially for the USMNT.

No Sands? His versatility is a huge plus.

I don’t understand Berhalter’s fetish with MLS players. Brooks is in season and in decent form but he prefers out of season Center backs. What does Dike have to do to get a call up? Zardes over Dike is perplexing at best and continues to confuse and frustrate the staunchest of USMNT fans

May be a stupid question but what's the story on Gio Reyna?
