I get why Poch named Ream to the squad

Giving him the armband is a bit more confusing for me. No disrespect to Ream, but I think the captain should be in the 11, and I don't think Ream belongs there. If Richards' ankle doesn't heal quickly enough, we need a better Plan B.

I'm not sure what Poch is doing at GK, though I still think it'll be Freese. FWIW, I thought Turner played well enough--taking the ball of Mane like that is no small feat--and I guess I get why Brady needed a first cap before the WC, but it was all a bit weird.

Still, loads to feel good about, which is a nice change of pace.
