USMNT
Roster Exclusion Categories
It’s easy to get lost in all the meltdowns and outrage that takes place on USMNT Twitter any time a roster is released. Inevitably, anyone who follows the team, and the player pool passionately will disagree with one decision or another. That isn’t a helpful exercise. A constructive exercise is to break down the exclusions by categories, reasons they were not called or status on the team. When you do this for the October roster, here is how it breaks down:
INJURED (Self-explanatory. Unavailable due to injury)
Christian Pulisic
Gio Reyna
Pulisic is close to a return and may even feature this weekend for Chelsea. Gio is likely not far behind. But neither needs to be risked here and I would imagine neither of their clubs would be very happy that important players were injured while away on international duty, come back and don’t play for a month then go right back out on international duty where they could be risking further injury. I think leaving them off is sensible, both from a risk standpoint and from a club relations standpoint. This is fine.
SNUBS (Legitimate snubs. Guys who have been part of the group and who wouldn’t have been surprising starters but instead weren’t even included in the roster)
Konrad
Sargent
Pefok
Sargent and Pefok haven’t performed, so others get looks here. Striker is a form-based position on national teams. Sometimes that is harsh but if you don’t put the ball in the back of the net consistently, you are risking your place in the team. Pepi was the productive one on the roster in September. He is retained and the other two are replaced by other strikers who get their chance to perform. This makes sense for this camp even if I personally think we could have used a big, strong target forward like Pefok against Jamaica.
However, I don’t understand Konrad’s exclusion. With Pulisic out with an injury, the closest like for like replacement for him is Konrad. Both are two of our best 1v1 attackers, both are comfortable with the ball at their feet and are extremely skilled dribblers capable of changing the game by themselves. Berhalter seemed to want more verticality in this squad, explaining why Arriola was included. That makes sense. Not enough players on the US regularly get behind the defense. It has been a big factor as to why the US attack has been so inefficient at times under Berhalter. The problem with that is Berhalter is already bringing Hoppe, Weah (new inclusions this camp and both of which have this characterstic) and Aaronson (retained but one of the only players who was consistently getting in behind. Arriola seems surplus in this area and in general the verticality thing seems to be an overcorrection. Now it seems like we don’t have enough on-ball creators and this is something to watch out for during the games.
LESS CONTROVERSIAL “SNUBS” (Guys who have been on the fringe of the roster or mainly second or third choice selections and miss out due to form, playing time or simply because there are better options)
Miazga
Zimmerman
Cannon
Dike
Vines
Sands
I don’t have an issue with any of these exclusions. We will cover this a little further below, but Miazga, Zimmerman and Sands are casualties of a numbers game in central defense, Sands also didn’t look good enough in midfield to warrant his inclusion over other guys in that position, Cannon isn’t getting games at Boavista and right back is one of the US’ deepest positions and Vines isn’t getting games at Liege. Dike perhaps has a case here. He has been playing well of late in Orlando and again, the US may have been able to use a strong target forward against Jamaica. We will see if Berhalter regrets not having this profile forward in that game, whether it had been Pefok or Dike.
LEFT OFF / NOT RATED BY BERHALTER (Guys consistently left off, not typically included in the core group of selections for the manager at this point)
Green
CCV
EPB
Boyd
I teased this above with Miazga, Zimmerman and Sands. Center backs have largely performed well the past 18 months with a couple exceptions like Brooks recent appearances and McKenzie in the Nations League Final. CCV and EPB can’t break into this group because it is at this point 8 or 9 deep of players who have been playing well. When you have 8 or 9 guys similarly rated, you are either sticking with the guys who are performing (the case with Miles and McKenzie), sticking with your top rated defender hoping he figures it out (Brooks) or calling the highest upside young defender (Richards). It doesn’t mean Miazga, Zimmerman, CCV or EPB are bad options, but they are going to find it difficult to get calls until the current contingent either have poor performances or are injured. I know a lot of people (myself included) have found it difficult to justify Ream’s continued inclusion at this level with his age and performances the past year. This is the position to target if you are any of the above players. But that is one open job for five players. Difficult situation to break in. Green simply isn’t rated by Berhalter at this point. Furthermore, the Roldan inclusion is for a very specific utility role off the bench for multiple positions. Green is certainly a more technical, better attacking midfielder than Roldan, but that isn’t really the reason Roldan is included. Green would need to be called over Luca de la Torre or Musah or McKennie and the latter two certainly aren’t happening. You could argue Lletget would be the spot for Green and I may agree if Lletget hadn’t literally done everything he has been asked to do every time he has seen the field. Lletget is a good soccer player. He isn’t elite. But he executes his assignment well. If you are the manager, it is difficult to replace a guy who is executing the job you are asking him to execute. Boyd has fallen far down the pecking order at this point it seems.
TOO YOUNG FOR BERHALTER / NOT READY (Players who are too inexperienced in the eyes of the manager)
Scally (note: this is according to Berhalter, not me)
Reynolds
Clark
Cowell
Otasowie
Johnny
Soto
Some controversy here. Scally shouldn’t be in this category. He is literally one of the most in-form American players in a top five European league at the moment. The full back just won player of the month for one of the most storied clubs in the Bundesliga and is a locked down starter for the team. Berhalter said he was too inexperienced, and he was looking forward to his future integration. The problem? How is Scally supposed to gain experience if he isn’t called in? It defies Berhalter’s own logic. The major note with all of these exclusions too is the fact that it doesn’t necessarily have to be zero-sum. It’s not like calling Scally meant Berhalter had to leave Moore or Bello at home like some have said. There is no restriction as to the amount of players a national team can call to these camps. The only requirement is limiting the gameday squads. Want to integrate Scally? Bring him to camp, build chemistry, have him train with the group and learn the system. I don’t want to make this a big deal. The sky isn’t falling because Joe Scally wasn’t included at this point. But this is a missed opportunity and the logic of not calling him simply doesn’t make sense. Reynolds is likely a cross between here and the poor club situation category above. Guys like Clark and Cowell could add some things, but I agree they are a bit too young and inexperienced for this. A camp invite to train with the group and integrate into the system? Sure, that would have been fine.
UNAVAILABLE DUE TO TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS / WOULDNT HAVE PLAYED (Only one guy and it’s self-explanatory)
Horvath
Everyone knows who our top three keepers are. Steffen can’t travel to Panama and will stay in the States. The backup to Turner in that game must be able to travel. This is fine.
So, after doing this exercise, all in all there are only two guys I am really disappointed are not here: Konrad and Scally.
Arriola over Konrad baffles me. I honestly mean no disrespect but there isn’t a lot that Arriola gives you that Roldan wont. Konrad is better out wide than both and gives the squad something different as mentioned above.
So, if you’re going to continue to call Roldan for the hard work utility player off the bench role (and I’m on the record saying “this is ok for now”) then Arriola is surplus to requirements.
On Scally, I simply disagree with Berhalter that he’s too young. Bello is young too. Joe Scally is less than a year younger than him and is playing at a higher level. I think Scally is a more complete defensive player than Bello. You are more likely to get defensive mistakes out of Bello than Scally.
Not just that, the versatility makes sense for this roster. Antonee Robinson won’t be going to Panama due to UK travel restrictions. So, either Dest will be a defensive liability on the left or Bello will be a defenseive liability on the left against a good counter attacking team. Having more defensive options isn’t a bad thing.
And again, this wasn’t mutually exclusive. Berhalter could have called in both AND kept all the guys he has.
But all in all, two changes isn’t bad.
I know Green is a popular snub for folks but no matter what you think of him, he isn’t the savior. He’s a depth guy. Why freak out about his exclusion?
The good news is there are way more exciting INCLUSIONS here than the two disappointing EXCLUSIONS.
Musah, Richards, Hoppe, Weah and Busio are all new from last camp and add interesting things to the group.
I’m excited to get another look at breakout guys like Pepi, Miles and Antonee.
We have established stars like Adams, McKennie and Dest.
It’s a good roster! Now, let’s unite and cheer on our boys as we try to qualify for a World Cup.
USMNT
Is the MLS Specifically Targeting Expansion to USL Cities?
In 2019, Don Garber and MLS announced they would expand to 30 teams. A year later, Don Garber said the cities of Las Vegas, Indianapolis, San Diego, Detroit, and Phoenix were clubs interested in joining MLS. Four of those cities had a USL or NISA club at the time of the announcement. Today, one of those USL teams has ceased to exist, another may be in jeopardy now, and the NISA club is now a USL club.
On April 25th, 2024, the Mayor of Indianapolis, Joe Hogsett, announced an unnamed ownership group would put in a bid for an MLS club. Along with the announcement, the owners of Indy XI (the USL Championship team in Indianapolis), Keystone Group, announced the City had backed out of the $1 billion fund for Eleven Park. The stadium was announced in 2022 and was planned to be a 20,000-seat stadium. It would also include additional apartments, office buildings, and other amenities. Last year, the stadium broke ground. That means that the mayor and city council agreed to stop the funding of a sports facility in mid-construction that would also add additional jobs to the people of Indianapolis and stop their backing of an existing club for a potential club. If the city does not get the bid, it could have repercussions for elected officials. When you look at social media, the people of Indianapolis are not happy about the announcement.
This is not the first time a team in the USL was in danger by the expansion by the MLS. San Diego Loyal played their final season in 2023 after the announcement by the MLS that they would expand to San Diego with the club San Diego FC. SD Loyal made the announcement just three months after San Diego FC was announced. The reason was due to not being able to find a stadium solution. As for San Diego FC, they will play their matches at the Snapdragon Stadium, which the Loyal could have used to play their matches. Instead of looking for a solution to integrate San Deigo Loyal, MLS had their club created which led to the destruction of a club in a rival league.
Miami had a soccer club before Inter Miami, Miami FC. Miami is a different story than San Diego. Unlike the Loyal, Miami FC attracts a very small audience. They averaged only 190 people a game a year before the arrival of Inter Miami, per Transfermarkt. It has gone up since Inter Miami’s inaugural season. Last season, the average attendance was 1,432 and this season it is 826 so far. The problem falls on the people of Miami though. Inter Miami increased their attendance by 35% to 17,061 last year from the prior season. It still begs the question of how much longer Miami FC will last when they are competing against a club with Leonel Messi for attendance.
Las Vegas Lights is another USL Championship club but are in a city being looked at by MLS also for expansion. Even worse, the current owner, José Bautista, is not part of the organization and is in talks with Don Garber to join the MLS, who would be the owners of Aston Villa. Phoenix is a different story. The USL team, Phoenix Rising, talked to MLS to join the league, which is a more positive solution. Tampa Bay Rowdies did the same thing when they were pursuing an MLS bid.
MLS does speak to the current existing clubs in the city. They did it with Louisville City, San Diego Loyal, Sacramento Republic, and others, but when that failed, they move in with their own clubs, i.e., San Diego FC and now potentially Indy MLS club. What MLS is doing is not helping the growth of the sport. They are aiming to monopolize the sport by destroying their competition, USL. This would not be a problem if USSF would create an open system or step in to put it to a stop. If MLS is the sole soccer league in the US with only 30-40 cities with a team, then you would isolate the hundreds of cities that have fans and players without a club to help accomplish their dream. Even in other sports leagues in the US we do not see a campaign like this. NFL did not actively work to end the XFL and the other football leagues. The NHL and the MLB have minor leagues all over the country. I do not prefer having minor leagues in soccer here in the US. It would be preferable that the MLS and USL work together to expand the sport and/or USSF implement policies that protect smaller leagues from bigger leagues.
USMNT
USMNT Kits Come in Different Styles and Colors
Thomas Deschaine (@uskeeper on X and us_keeper on Instagram)
US Soccer kit releases are something fans get excited about and lately have resulted in disappointment. US Soccer’s recent schedule for kits release during the cycle has seen them releasing another road and or third kits in Gold Cup years and home and away pairs in the even years.
US Soccer is expected to release the 2024 Copa America kits for the USMNT in the coming weeks headed into the Nations League Finals. Last Thursday evening Footy Headlines, who has had a good track record of leaking USMNT kits in the past, provided the below pictures of the home and away USMNT kits. These kits haven’t officially been announced by Nike or US Soccer, but the anticipated announcement is expected in the coming weeks headed into the Nations League Final.

Fake Leaked USMNT Kits
The below USMNT kits were leaked over the last decade, but none of them came to fruition, it’s fun to look at what could have been for the USMNT.
2014 World Cup Kits
These leaked kits headed into the 2014 FIFA World Cup were where loved by many USMNT fans due to the sash and the use of the Centennial Crest, but unfortunately, these kits were fakes and never released.

2015 Alternative Kit & 2016 Copa America
Generally, US Soccer releases an alternate kit in the years that the Gold Cup is played. This leak kit was reported back in 2015 by NBCSports and then again by MLS Soccer when it was suggested it could be used during the Copa América Centenario.

2022 World Cup Kits
I would have much preferred for the USMNT to have worn these kits at the 2022 FIFA World Cup when they ended up, but alas it was another leaked kit that never was.

2024 Copa America Kit
This rumored kit for the USMNT was based on similar kits worn by the USMNT at the 1924 Olympics and the 1930 World Cup.

History of US Soccer Crest and USMNT kits
Over ten years ago I began my research of USMNT soccer data in search of a single source site, which I quickly found didn’t exist. Through my research, I started to comply with old USMNT kits and crests from the past. As I acquired more and more kits worn by the USMNT and was able to start to fill in the gaps between them I decided to digitally recreate these kits and share them with the USMNT fans.
Here’s a look at what I was able to find while it seems like a lot I am sure there are many more kits I missed and if so I would love to know which ones so I could create and update what I have already.
History of US Soccer Crests
Here’s the history of the US Soccer crests. I had to recreate several of these crests based on old pictures I found throughout my research since there were no digital images available.
USMNT Kits – 1916-1973
These were the first kits worn by the USMNT which weren’t sponsored. There are variations of these kits worn by the USMNT which comprised of variations of crests and styles, likely due to available funds during this time. My favorite kits in the group are the ones with the sashes from the 1928 and 1936 Olympics and the 1959 Pan American Games.
USMNT Kits – 1974-1983
The group of kits for the USMNT were the first that were sponsored by Adidas. There were a lot of similar styles of kits during this time which really lacked any creativity. My favorite kits in the group are the ones from the middle to late 1970s, there is something about their simplicity and clean look.
USMNT Kits – 1984-1994
Adidas’s 20-year run of creating kits for US Soccer ended in 1994, with few quality kits made during those couple of decades, which is ironic considering how nice Adidas’s kits are today. My favorite kits in the group are the 1985/1986 blue hoop kit and the 1988 Blue Olympic kit.
USMNT Kits – 1995-2011
In 1995 Nike took over the creation of the US Soccer kits and started by making three similar kits for the 1995 Copa America and 1996 third kit for the US Cup. Nike did release three Special Edition kits in 2003, 2004, and 2006, which were only worn for one match each. My favorite kits in the group all had a sash on them, which were both the 2010 World Cup kits and the red 2011 Gold Cup kit.
USMNT Kits – 2012-Current
Most USMNT fans would agree that recent kits released by Nike haven’t held the standard seen in the 2010s, where the hoops/stripes that some many fans loved for the 2012 Waldo kits were incorporated. My unsung kits of this group are the 2018 home kit, which would have been worn at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and the 2017 Gold Cup kit.
USMNT Kits going forward
Nike and US Soccer signed what was considered a historical long-term sponsor agreement, in November 2021, that went into effect in Janaury 2023 that will run for at least a decade which will cover the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Summer Olympics and possibly a 2027 or 2031 Women’s World Cup hosted in the United States, so for fans who has hoped for a different kit creator they will have to wait a while.
Once the 2024 Copa America kits are released US Soccer will likely only release one more kit for the 2025 Gold Cup for the USMNT before releasing the 2026 World Cup kits. One idea that I’ve had for a long time was for US Soccer to release Special Edition Kits with styles from the past, with the limited release of those kits, coupled with playing matches in locations and venues throughout the United States to build the fan base and excitement for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
In conclusion, I am somewhat optimistic that US Soccer and Nike will create some variation of the 2012 Waldo kit & 1994 Stats and Denim kit to be worn as the hosts of the 2026 World Cup.
USMNT
2024: A Pivotal Year for the USMNT
Thomas Deschaine (@uskeeper on X/Formally Twitter)
Photo From: USA Today-John Locher, AP – 18, June 2023 – 2023 Concacaf Nations League
As the fog hovered over Estadio Parque Artigas Stadium in Paysandú, Uruguay in the 58th minute Eric Wynalda received the ball on the right wing with Joe-Max Moore making a run forward and in front of Wynalda who delivered a pass to Moore who then went down preventing the ball from being taken away and sending it back to Wynalda who slides forward and scores the third goal of the match and his third goal of the tournament, making it 3-0 USA over tenth-ranked Argentinians and all but sealing the win and the top spot in Group C at the 1995 Copa America. The win for this USMNT consisted of 17 players from the 1994 World Cup team who reached their pinnacle with this group of players finishing fourth at this Copa America.
Over the previous three decades, the USMNT has had some of the biggest wins in the team’s history. During the 1999 Confederations Cup, which was played in Mexico the USMNT played a hard-fought match against the fifth-ranked Germans defeating them 2-0 in the final group stage match and finishing third overall in the tournament. The USMNT would also have an even bigger result against second-ranked Spain in the semi-finals of the 2009 Confederations Cup when they ended Spain’s 35-game unbeaten streak in a 2-0 victory that would send them to the final against Brazil.
2024 is the midway point of the 2026 FIFA World Cup cycle, and the next two windows for the USMNT who as a team and federation need to start ascending to their apex with this group to ensure that they have an amazing performance at the 2026 World Cup.
The USMNT has already played their first match, a 1-0 defeat to Slovenia, but need to quickly focus on the March window 2024 CONCACAF Nations League Finals where they will play Jamaica in the semi-final round and a win would put the USMNT in their third straight Nations League Final where they would have a chance to play either Mexico or Panama and win their third straight Concacaf Nations League trophy.
Some 90 days later the USMNT will be kicking off only their fifth appearance at the Copa America Tournament, with the stakes for this group at an all-time high and where success is demanded from the players, coaches, fans, and the federation. Will this current group of USMNT players and coaches be able to progress to the next level against the elite teams of CONMEBOL? It’s worth noting that the USMNT has finished fourth twice at Copa America in 1995 and 2016, however, the USMNT finished 32nd at the 1998 World Cup and failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
The U-23 USMNT will also be playing the Olympics for the first time since 2008, which provides a great opportunity for those U-23 players to get noticed on a big stage. There are many eligible players who if released by their clubs will have a great opportunity to impress while helping the U-23 USMNT make a deep run at the 2024 Olympics in France.
As it becomes increasingly harder for the USMNT to schedule non-Concacaf opponents the US Soccer Federation will need to get creative in who and where they schedule these Friendly matches. The June window offers up the best opportunities for the USMNT to schedule matches against other CONMEBOL teams, preferably in Groups A and B which feature Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
Edgar Moreno on X, formally Twitter, reported that the USMNT and Colombia have scheduled a Friendly headed into Copa America. It was also reported on Goal.com that Colombia will be scheduling a total of four matches leading into the tournament, two of which will be taking place in Europe. While there are challenges with timing and logistics around scheduling Friendlies with UEFA teams, USSF really needs to do everything possible to secure a similar type of schedule headed into Copa America but, rarely schedules USMNT Friendlies outside of the FIFA International window, which Colombia would need to do to make that schedule work.
It has been recently rumored that the USMNT might close to scheduling a Friendly with Colombia headed into Copa America. The September and October windows have few quality opponents available, at the time of the article it appears that the September window could be an opportunity to play schedule matches with teams from the CAF Confederation, but those matches would likely need to be played at neutral sites in Europe.
2024 USMNT Window
| March | June Window | Copa America | September | October | November |
| CNL Finals March 18-26 | Friendlies June 3-11 | June 20-July 14 | Friendlies Sept. 2-10 | Friendlies Oct. 7-15 | CNL quarterfinals Nov. 11-19 |

Expectations for the in 2024 USMNT
The USMNT is expected to once again advance to the Nations League Final and with their full fit A Squad should be able to bring home their third Nations League trophy, but the 2024 Copa America tournament is very possible the most important non-World Cup the USMNT has even competed it. How success and failure will be determined by the USSF and fans will be interesting to follow. Gregg Berhalter has to prove that he can put together a roster, a formation that allows for simple and effective tactics that will allow the USMNT to not only compete against some top-tier nations but beat them. Success for me isn’t just advancing to the semi-finals of Copa America The USMNT needs to perform at the next level against the top-tier nations, something that I’ve only seen a handful of times in my nearly 35 years as a USMNT fan.
