Maybe Jordan Morris, but Soto is not better than Jozy or Pulisic (who's played forward in a bunch of games for MNT).

Even if you want Christian to play deeper, Sargent, Novakovich, and Bobby Wood (even despite this atrocious last season) are still both better currently than Soto.

Which USMNT U20 players are already better than their first team counterparts?

Only two of them, Tyler Adams and Weston Mckennie (although they are already 1st-team, despite being U-20 eligible).

I'm talking about the current U20 WC roster vs the current GC roster.

Supercoug

None of them.

Not exactly the same position, but you think Wil Trapp is better than Paxton Pomykal?

Wil Trapp currently is miles ahead of Pomykal. Maybe not in three years, but Pomykal can't even get on the field for his

Pomykal starts for FC Dallas, which is a better team than Wil Trapp's.

It's a stretch to even compare a holding mid to an attacking one. I'm sorry, I'm not ready to crown a kid who has only

This season Trapp has played 1350 minutes with 1 assist and no goals.

Because he's a defensive midfielder... you don't see the difference?

Sebastian Soto > Jordan Morris; Paxton Pomykal > Wil Trapp

RSL

Agreed. Soto isn't as fast, but more clinical, and can use both of his feet.

Also, Ledezma, Weah, de la Fuente are all arguably on similar levels with Amon.

Servania had some good moments as well.

My post was in response to the OP saying "which U20ers are better than their Gold Cup counterparts?"

RSL

Potential, obviously. But better already? No.

scootsy

I'm not claiming that.

I think Weah is already better than anyone who will be on the left wing during the GC.

Richards, Weah, Soto

Man I forgot Richards. With Brooks out, I 100% agree.

Pomykal, Weah and Richards for me.
