The US still doesnt have the level of skill needed to consistently outgun the top teams in the world. Even if all the top prospects like Weah, Sargent, Robinson, CCV and Pulisic pan out, that still really only brings us to a level around that of Chile or the Ukraine.
So the USMNT is going to need athletic beasts like Adams where they can get involved in the game. 34 year old Michael Bradley making above-average passes while not running the full length of the pitch is not what we need.
