So I'd expect Buchanan to continue, but Miller, I think, was always kind of probably more of an impact sub who was a stopgap until Ali Ahmed could get healthy.
And it looks like from the impact Ahmed made off the bench that, you know, he's a player who looks pretty good to go from the start, I would think, this week.
Yeah, I can't believe...
you know, how he keeps doing it.
20 years old, still like one season of first team experience in Belgium.
He's someone, you just don't see that very often, right?
A player who has, you know, not really made the breakthrough at a high level in terms of his club football, play at the level he does for his country.
But it's not new.
It's not the first time he's done this.
We've seen it at tournaments in the past.
We got an early glimpse of it when he was just 18 at Copa America two years ago.
And I think that's been the key.
Like, I give credit to Jesse Marsh for this.
He brought him in very early, saw a player there.
And I think because he's been with the men's national team for two years now, that's prepared him for this.
I don't know necessarily that his club career to date has prepared him for this, but it's his international career.
that has and yeah just an absolute warrior as composed and kind of classy as he looks on the ball someone who doesn't shy away from the physical challenges particularly against a team like Bosnia you saw him at the end he like batted and bruised but he came through it and played very well again
Yeah, they're going to have to be careful for sure.
I think Dufus role is the bigger worry than Johnston probably just because you have Nico Seager in reserve at right back, as good a player as Johnston obviously is.
So that's a concern.
