With 35 caps, Ream is the third-most experienced player on the roster for the match. “Tim’s as steady as they come,” Berhalter said, “a guy that isn’t fazed by the gravity of the game. He has a lot of experience in a very competitive league and he’s played in competitive leagues. I think it’s valuable. We talk about the Tim Reams and the Michael Bradleys and (Brad) Guzans, those are guys that have this presence that’s important for a young team. We value that type of leadership and always want to try to integrate leaders when we can.” Ream and Sargent Called into USMNT

Tim Ream speaks about the Cottagers’ mentality, young players and what sparked the unbeaten run (great read on great team makeup)

2018 Apr 16 Ream wouldn’t be disappointed if Fulham miss out on automatic promotion
In the “most pressure-packed” time of his career, Ream thinks the club still have to win all their games to stand a chance of finishing in that remaining automatic promotion spot, but “crazier things have happened”.

2018 Apr 10 – Tim Ream, Mr Reliable

2018 Mar 08 Nominated for Player of the Month
Fulham won three and drew two of our matches in February, scoring eight times and conceded just twice. A hat-trick of 2-0 wins at the Cottage saw off Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers, while crucial points were picked up on our travels courtesy of 1-1 draws at Bolton Wanderers and Bristol City.

Ream played every minute in February and was a major contributing factor to his side’s three clean sheets. He’s up against an opponent from Tuesday night in Billy Sharp, Barnsley’s loanee Oli McBurnie, and fellow centre-back Sean Morrison of Cardiff City.

2018 Feb 27 Named to EFL Team of the Week
“Ream stood tall in the Fulham defence, as he and the Cottagers superbly nullified the threat of the Sky Bet Championship leaders in yet another home win.”

2018 Feb 01 – Tim Ream interview: Red-hot Fulham targeting promotion to Premier League following last term’s play-off anguish
“Losing in the play-offs like we did was not as much deflating as it was motivating,” says Ream, whose side sit sixth, in the play-off places and just six points adrift of an automatic promotion slot.

2018 Jan 14 – Tim Ream: 100 Not Out by HammyEnd
The St. Louis native was fearless in the air against a much taller opponent in Rudy Gustede, read the game superbly and passed the ball so well that you were left wondering whether he was really a midfielder in disguise.

2017 August 30 – Tim Ream with American Soccer Now
“For Bruce to come over in late January to Fulham and speak with me personally was a huge deal,” Ream told American Soccer Now. “To be picked to start against Panama in my first call-up with the new staff showed their confidence in me. And then being able to translate that into a decent performance to get another shot in Mexico is huge.

After his defensive partner was dismissed inside the first minute, Ream found himself up against it as Fulham faced Reading on the road. But the American turned in a fantastic display to stem the Royals’ attack, helping the Cottagers come away with a point in the 1-1 draw.

2017 August 13 – Ream Reflects on his remarkable transformation
The biggest compliment you can pay Tim Ream is that Fulham fans are now sweating over who will partner him at Elland Road on Tuesday night. The American centre back, a thinker about the game and one of the more cerebral voices in the dressing room, would freely acknowledge that he didn’t have the smoothest of starts to life at Craven Cottage but his assured displays now make him an indispensable member of Slavisa Jokanovic’s back four. Ream was outstanding in the second half of last season but nothing encapsulated the transformation in his own fortunes better than his peerless performance as the organiser of the back line at Reading on Saturday.

Finished Top 5 in ranking, rugged and reliable in his tackling and marking, he also headed a ball during a scramble that Bobby Wood couldn’t turn into a shot. Passing could have been crisper.

2017 March 28 – gets the start at center back against Panama in World Cup Qualifying

tim-ream-fulham-birmingham-gamereport-2017

2017 February 07 – Following the narrow 1-0 defeat against Birmingham City on Saturday afternoon, Tim Ream admitted that the red card was a “game changer” but was quick to highlight that the Whites were not at their best despite the sending off. After four league games away from home, the American defender is looking forward to getting back to Craven Cottage after a full week of training.

With two games in the Championship prior to the Emirates FA Cup tie with Tottenham Hotspur, Ream wants Fulham to solidify their standing in the league and look to push up the table in search of the Play-Off spots.

2017 February 07 – Fulham defender explains improved form at Craven Cottage
Last season, the west Londoners were much more vulnerable defensively but, under the Serbian, Ream and co have looked much more solid. And, with Fulham playing the ball out from the back, the American believes it has lifted his confidence and he is playing to his strengths.

2015 September 5 – Ream Delivers Strong Performance for USMNT

Overall, Ream played the fullback position with relative ease, something unseen earlier in his career. Having developed in the position as a member of Bolton, Ream has grown in recent seasons, developing a certain level of versatility that is very appreciated in a national team.

2015 September 5 – What We Learned from USAvPERU

Ream was one of the best players on the field. His calm and composed demeanor helps everyone around him to play out of the back. Defending-wise he was everywhere disrupting the Peru attacks and being a steady influence on the back line.

2015 September 4 – Player Ratings for USA-PERU (Soccer America)
6 – Tim Ream (Fulham/ENG) 16/0.
Challenged by several different Peruvian flank attackers and usually won the battles once he adjusted to the pace. Slide-tackles and step-ups were strong and well-timed. Also won a couple of duels in the air and played early balls that reached their target most of the time.

2015 September 4 – Player Ratings for USA-PERU (NBC Sports)
LB — Tim Ream: 8/10 — Ream got a much-deserved start in the defense tonight, and should hold onto his spot after putting in a strong performance. It’s a surprise he hasn’t gotten more of a run with the USMNT over his career.

2015 September 3 – USA Defender Tim Ream is a Man in Demand

Ream shoulders his responsibilities day after day without deviating from the task set in front of him. His steadiness earned him supporters’ player of the year honors at Bolton Wanderers in each of the past two seasons. It also set the stage for him to emerge from the shadows and step into the spotlight this summer.

2015 September 2 – Evaluating Fulham’s Transfer Window

Ream was a consistent Championship defender, and has already made our defense look more composed. Overall, Ream is classy acquisition that adds to Fulhamerica.

2015 August 25 – MLS American Exports

Tim Ream played 80 minutes in the heart of defense to celebrate a winning debut, a 3-0 blanking of guests Sheffield United. Though the defender did have one bad early turnover that forced Andrew Lonergan into a save, he was given a standing ovation at the end of a solid first showing for the Cottagers.

2015 August 25 – The Sean Davis Column

We had our first glimpse of Tim Ream on Tuesday and he had a solid debut. I was with Tim a little bit at Bolton when he first signed from New York Red Bulls. He’s a very good defender who gets touch-tight to his man, he’s got a nice left foot and he’s very comfortable on the ball, so he’ll be a great addition to the squad.

2015 August 5 – No Short Corners Names Tim Ream USMNT Top Left Back

Yup. Klinsi wants to play the ball out of the back, we all want to. So, to me, it seems kinda obvious Ream needs a good look on the left. His experience playing in the center adds another set piece marker and he can also deliver restarts at the other end.

2015 August 5 – on Tim Ream: Why He’s Worth Keeping

I long for the day when the American is thrust back into the defensive midfield role in which he excelled previously. There, and with another defensive screen beside him to do the physical work, I believe that his ability on the ball would come to the fore.

2015 August 4 – Bolton rejects QPR bid for Tim Ream

2014 November 21 – Lennon: US Boss Klinsmann showed Wanderers ‘no respect’ with Ream Call

An answer on why there was no release from US Soccer regarding Tim joining the USMNT in Dublin for the match against Ireland. Neil Lennon – “And yet they call him in on the night before the game so he has to get flight on Tuesday morning to Dublin and then play one minute of an international.”

I’d say there was a lack of respect shown to Tim as well as Bolton.

2014 November 18 – not included in any of the formal press releases related to the team, it seems Tim was added to the roster for the friendly against Ireland and was brought on as a late substitute for Beckerman at defensive midfield.

Bolton Wanderers v Queens Park Rangers - Sky Bet Championship

2013 Sep 18 – Tim Ream a revelation in center midfield

Bolton manager Dougie Freedman made the decision to start Tim Ream against Queens Park Rangers but not in defense. Ream was played in a more advanced role, sitting just behind the midfield pairing of Medo Kamara and Jay Spearing. In the QPR clash and the two matches since, the American has made that position his own. (includes GIF of excellent play leading to assist on game-tying goal).

Daily Mail Live Action update on Bolton Wanders hosting QPR
