The full USMNT World Cup roster has been revealed! BrianStraus breaks down the 26-man squad: The surprise late omissions and exclusions and a deep look at the group that’s headed to Qatar to end the program’s eight-year World Cup drought
The U.S. World Cup roster is out, and the list of 26 men who will carry the Stars and Stripes in Qatar is a reminder that while the tournament is a culmination of four years of tactical and individual development—and of the careful establishment of on-field and locker room chemistry and culture—it’s also an event that happens at a single moment in time.
The Americans will continue their World Cup against England on Nov. 25, then conclude the group stage on Nov. 29 against Iran. The top two finishers in the four-team group will move on to the round of 16. But the ground under Steffen’s feet started to give way, albeit gradually, that summer. Horvath demonstrated his potential with late heroics in the Concacaf Nations League, and then Turner was outstanding at the ensuing Gold Cup, yielding just one goal in six games. Turner then started the first five World Cup qualifiers as Steffen navigated injury and the coronavirus.
Horvath, who’s played regularly while on loan to Luton Town, has eight caps and started the muddy, rain-soaked Concacaf Nations League draw at El Salvador in June. Johnson has played just once for Berhalter in the past 2.5 years—the June friendly against Uruguay. But the 2021 MLS Cup MVP is well liked inside the team and is considered a leader, and so makes sense as a third World Cup goalkeeper.
The manager gave up on John Brooks, a 2014 World Cup alum, following the opening qualifying window in September 2021. Berhalter insisted that the door wasn’t shut, but Brooks never never got a second U.S. chance and has barely played since moving to Benfica over the summer. Ream, another veteran, also was cast aside following that same window. Berhalter later hinted that the Fulham icon lacked the recovery speed required to play as part of the high line the U.S. planned to deploy in Qatar.
The marching orders have been clear in the middle of Berhalter’s 4-3-3 for a while—the relentless Adams is the destroyer, the dynamic Musah is the progressor and theis the attacking spark plug and/or wrecking ball. Berhalter has tweaked the setup a couple times recently, pulling Musah further back and closer to Adams, but the MMA midfield has been pretty much to set in stone for a while. Acosta is the obvious choice as defensive depth and, when called upon, quality set-piece delivery.
Wright was a late inclusion for the USMNT, riding a hot scoring streak for his club in Turkey to a roster spot. Jesús Ferreira , Jordan Morris , Christian Pulisic , Gio Reyna , Josh Sargent , Tim Weah , Haji Wright
