How are the USMT doing at the World Cup?
For fans concerned that Gregg Berhalter’s men will struggle in Qatar, there are plenty of famous faces looking to light up the tournament. Sergino Dest, formerly of Barcelona, plies his trade for Serie A champions AC Milan and is a real threat from defense.
There is plenty of talent in midfield with Leeds’ Tyler Adams and 20-year-old young star Giovanni Reyna who plays for Borussia Dortmund in Germany. Leading the line will be Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic who is arguably the biggest name in the team.
The USMNT haven’t had the strongest start after a 1-1 draw against Gareth Bale’s Wales team, but will look to bounce back against England on Friday, November 25 and Iran on Tuesday, November 29. As the table currently stands, team USA will need to win both of their remaining two games to qualify for the knockout stages.
