The soccer world is on a roll, and Atlanta United’s stunning 3-2 upset over Inter Miami in the MLS playoffs has left everyone buzzing. I mean, can you blame them? Last night’s game was just amazing. Speaking of amazing, we cannot forget about the heart of this monumental victory, goalkeeper Brad Guzan. He delivered a spectacular performance to deny Lionel Messi and Co and man did eat them up.

But this doesn’t come as a surprise as Guzan’s heroics between the posts proved decisive after he made several crucial saves to preserve Atlanta’s lead. His impressive display thwarted Inter Miami’s attempts to equalize, which included two late free kicks from Messi that were blocked by the wall of Atlanta defenders. Talk about giving it your all. Atlanta’s Jamal Thiare scored twice and Bartosz Slisz’s 76th-minute header sealed the win while Messi tied the match 2-2 in the 65th minute with an unexpected header.

With Messi in the lineup, Atlanta triumphed over Inter Miami for the third time this season, thanks to Guzan’s outstanding play. The fans were so impressed they all agreed that Guzan’s contributions deserve greater acknowledgment. The recent tweet by Fox’s Soccer Analyst, Stu Holden fans had the fans talking about the potential opportunity that might be waiting for the epic goalkeeper. “Can’t tell me Guzan isn’t still worth considering in the USMNT pool…… dude stood on his head all series and has been a monster down the stretch’s”, read the post.

Now, we all know that Guzan’s heroics will be remembered as a key factor in one of the biggest upsets in MLS playoff history. But is that enough for him to land in the USMNT pool? Well, the fans say yes and Mauricio Pochettino might need to take notice.

Netizens react to the latest Brad Guzan feat

Soccer fans are rarely seen agreeing on something. When they do, you know the matter is worth considering. Well, that was exactly the case with Guzan’s latest performance, as the fans believe the goalkeeper deserves a spot on the USMNT pool. “I was thinking same thing” said one fan, expressing their agreement on the matter. Another fan wants him over Drake Callender and said, “Agreed…also Callender shouldn’t get any more looks with USMNT”. 

Some fans were just showing their excitement in the comment section by writing, “He was incredible this series” and “Brad Guzan national team shouts in 2024”. Another fan articulated Guzan’s amazing resilience and grit will only help USMNT as they’ve been lacking quite the work, “Not to mention experience and grit….2 things we’ve seen lacking recently in the USMNT”. Well, Guzan’s experience could benefit Mauricio Pochettino.

Another fan put forward the argument, but with a twist, “I’d put him over Steffen at this point”. Yes, Guzan over Steffen, but we highly doubt it will ever happen. These fans talked about what everyone must be wondering and said, “If I really think about it, Brad Guzan is back to being a top three #USMNT-eligible goalkeeper on current form”. And it’s true.

Guzan is in the top 3 on the current form. But these were the fans’ thoughts. What are your opinions? Should Guzan be selected for the USMNT pool? Let us know in the comment section below!
