The #USMNT usually follow the industry standard: first 15 minutes of training are open to press, which is mostly just warm-ups. Even that brief glimpse can be a treat, tho. Players often limber up with rondos, what we in the States called 5v2 when I was young. It's a core element of the game around the world and I always love to watch elite players get after it. So while Mauricio Pochettino and his staff welcomed a few baseball stars from the Kansas City Royals to training yesterday, I was more focused on the rondos. The near group includes some of the USMNT's top players: Christian Pulisic, Flo Balogun, Ricardo Pepi. But the one who really pops is Weston McKennie - he's calling out the pass counts, leading the banter, 'trying shit,' bringing the energy. You can learn a lot from rondos."
