Fans’ Reactions

Scratchbuttdontsniff stated, ‘Something is super weird… I see about 8 guys on this team that should not be ahead of Luna or Bassett.’
No_Departure102 expressed, ‘No him or Diego Luna is actually embarrassing. These two have EARNED these spots.’
The Decision
heyorin shared, ‘If I made the calls, Bassett and Luna were pencilled in as midfielders #1 and #2. But it has to be said: it’s by far the position the US is the most deep at, and all the names at the position would’ve been snubs too imho.’
Guardax noted, ‘Similar to Luna, Bassett took out his anger with a goal and an assist last night.’
ArgonWolf humorously remarked, ‘USSF not make the dumbest decision possible in the dumbest way possible challenge – Level: impossible.’
