Yes the average age is 22 years old. Hopefully they can put it together with the high expectations that come along with it.

Gio Reyna! He might be better than Pulisic. 2 best players ever to wear a US uniform.

Project Big Picture “for the greater good” of English soccer, says EFL chief
Premier League and UK government voice opposition to plan to overhaul England's top flight.

English Football League (EFL) chairman Rick Parry has defended radical plans to overhaul English soccer's top flight after they were criticised by the government and the Premier League.

Project Big Picture, the brainchild of Liverpool and Manchester United, includes plans to reduce the Premier League to 18 teams, giving greater power to the ‘big six’ and abolishing the League Cup and Community Shield.

It also proposes clubs in the EFL, which oversees the three leagues outside the top tier, will receive an immediate UK£250 million (US$323 million) rescue package and a 25 per cent future annual share of Premier League revenue.

Parry insists Project Big Picture has been designed “for the greater good of English football”, offering the best chance of securing the future of clubs outside the top flight.

It is understood the deal has been three years in the making and while Chelsea have also been consulted, Parry praised Liverpool and United for showing leadership and responsibility.

Watch quite a lot of Werder, I know Sargent is very highly rated but I really don't see it.
Same with Timo Weah, was really excited when we (Celtic) got him a while back but was pretty disappointing.
Some really exciting young players though no doubt

Those 2 are on the outside of the American pool at this moment.
Good talents who haven't taken that next step.
Sargent will get more chances because the Americans have no real striker to take the 9.
Weah has some electricity but can disappear for long stretches and is buried at a deep area of the USMNT.
They'd likely both be happy to make the USMNT as bench players.

Looking forward to see USMNT versus Wales(I'm ancestrally Welsh).

Chelsea has really hit form now with an actual keeper and Ziyech coming in to the 11.
Pulisic injury woes a small damper on an otherwise well in form squad.
Defending has been light years better and the keeping off the charts improved.

Got the songs on, far too much to drink, near tears and work in the morning. What a sport. Can't believe we didn't make a mess of that

I pretty much hate this idea.
A. The larger EPL is the more money shuffled off to non-elite teams as they advance to EPL. See Leicester City.
B. The EPL is very competitive as is and arguably the deepest of the major leagues. Reducing it by 3 makes English teams even more pressed with scheduling for UCL/Europa.
