Jim Curtin also praised midfielder Leon Flach in my conversation with him: “Leon has been in talks with Gregg [Berhalter] and his staff to represent the #USMNT in the Gold Cup this summer.” #DOOP
Curtin praised Flach’s “High Soccer IQ” and said “he is great at neutralizing one of the opposing team’s best players”.
Curtin on Flach’s possible USMNT inclusion: “I think they could always use more options to have outside of Tyler Adams. Leon has definitely shown great ability since his move here to MLS. He’s done a lot of good work for us.”
“Tyler Adams does have an injury right now and its a position where I think the USMNT is a bit thin at, the No. 6 destroyer type. McKennie likes to get forward more, Musah is more of an No. 8. Leon Flach is in the discussion with those names.”
“Leon has definitely turned some heads with his play in MLS.”
