Malik Tillman is the breakout star of the USMNT's summer. Watching him prowl in search of space, and make shit happen, is a delight. A piece on what makes him special, and why he's the 10 until further notice: sports.yahoo.com/soccer/artic...

Great read and IF Gio can get right, now we have depth and options at that position so we don’t have to force the issue this cycle.

Great piece. If all that comes out of this Gold Cup is that Tillman and Richards step up as leaders that can drive a team, the whole thing is worth it regardless of result.

Tyler Adams on Tillman: "He's a really high-level player in between the lines. That position is rare to come by nowadays. More and more teams are playing without a No. 10. But when you find a player like that who can slow the game down and take pressure off the team, I think it's really valuable."

Haven't been super impressed by Tillman but I'm curious about what Poch likes so I'm glad you made the case
