MLS Analyst Matthew Doyle recently wrote an article on MLSsoccer.com outlining the depth at each position for the United States Men’s National Team moving forward.
Three Quakes made his list – Nick Lima, Jackson Yueill and Tommy Thompson – as either first-choice guys or ‘waiting in the wings’.
The parts pertaining to San Jose’s players can be read below. The full article can be read here.
RIGHT BACK
- DeAndre Yedlin (Newcastle United)
- Tyler Adams (New York Red Bulls)
- Matt Polster (Chicago Fire)
- Shaq Moore (Levante)
- Nick Lima (San Jose Earthquakes)
Adams might end up being a central midfielder instead, but for now I've got him here since he checks every box necessary to be an elite fullback, but isn't quite there (his first touch in traffic is wanting) to be an elite midfielder.
