USMNT abroad: Sargent, Wright score; transfers for Dest, Pulisic?

There’s an old adage that coaches will fall back on when asked about a referee’s decisions and how it impacted a game. In some form or another, it centers on the notion of doing enough with what the team can control so that the decision-making, as far as it relates to the game’s result, is effectively taken out of the referee’s hands. 

A similar approach can be applied to a coach’s roster decision for an upcoming camp or competition. If a player is performing so well and so effectively, mastering what he can control, then there’s really no decision left for the coach to make at all. It’s all rather organic.
