USMNT's World Cup Roster Revealed: Surprises and Surprises
Berhalter Springs Late Surprises for Final Squad
The United States men's national team's 26-man roster for the 2022 FIFA World Cup is officially out. This USMNT World Cup roster boasts perhaps the most impressive list of club homes ever at this level. Players from the likes of Chelsea, Juventus, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are all represented, showcasing the growing talent and recognition of American players on the global stage.
Legit Snubs and Surprises
Despite the impressive list of club homes, there were some notable snubs and surprises in the final roster. Goalkeeper Zack Steffen, who was expected to be the starter, was surprisingly left off the team. Instead, Matt Turner of Arsenal and Ethan Horvath of Luton Town will be the goalkeepers in Qatar.
Another surprise was the inclusion of Haji Wright. The forward has had a breakout season with Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig, but he has yet to make his international debut. His inclusion suggests that Berhalter is looking for a goal-scoring threat off the bench.
Berhalter's Guessing Game
The USMNT's World Cup roster is always a guessing game for Gregg Berhalter. With so many talented players to choose from, it's impossible to please everyone. However, Berhalter has shown that he is not afraid to make bold decisions, and his roster for Qatar is no exception.
The United States will open their World Cup campaign on November 21 against Wales. They will then face England on November 25 and Iran on November 29.
