Hey man, I remember him coming on as a sub and scoring some crucial goals during his time at Benfica. But his lackluster goalscoring record, nationality and age will probably mean he can't do much better than Wolverhampton.

Carlos Vela just finished the MLS regular season with 34 goals and 15 assists in 31 matches. Very left footed player that usually plays on the right, but can play anywhere up front.

Just because he happened to win the world cup? Ferdinand and Terry were world class for 10+ years.

US not qualifying to the world cup, clearly not a freak incident. Just can't get a cohesive team again. What made the US a competitive team was defending and terrific counter attacking, and now it's all so predictable, as they will chuck it to Pulisic, who has to get past 8 players to have any...

That's actually a good comparsion, but not for your argument. Quagliarella is THE target man for his team, as is Zlatan for LA Galaxy. Juve and LAFC have distributed their goals way more.

Carlos Vela is a player that rejected a move to Atletico Madrid, decided to skip on playing the Olympics (which Mexico won) and the World Cup in 2014. He's said many times that he doesn't care about football beyond playing, and would rather do anything (specially watching basketball) over having...

Nations league will suck for Mexico and the US. Now there will be even less competition for both teams without decent friendlies/Copa America/Confederations Cup.

Confederations Cup is still happening? So sad that Mexico and US are not going to be invited to the next Copa America.

Should have left for Europe years ago. He's already 25. But, he was sold domestically for $16M USD. Who was going to pay that?

It's in Chicago, where hundreds of thousands of Mexicans live. Gold cup is a joke competition, where money is all that matters. That's why it's always hosted in the US, and why Mexico only ever gets to play in "Mexican market" cities.

He's most likely retired from the NT. The coach didn't outright say it, probably in case he keeps his superb form closer to the World Cup.

This used to be true. As of late they've been struggling to fill the stadiums with just any chump team. They'd show up if they were playing Brazil, but not for Cuba or Guatemala.

At a least it's from the worst final since uhh 2012.

They are betting on another miracle sub.
