Breaking down the latest USMNT roster for World Cup qualifying: Brooks out, Dest hurt, Pulisic lives, and Gianluca Busio has the best name in camp
Joe and Taylor took a look at the roster, sat in on Gregg Berhalter's press conference, and then recorded a deeeep dive look at the latest USMNT roster ahead of World Cup qualifying games against Mexico and Jamaica. Here's the roster, if you haven't seen it:
GOALKEEPERS (3): Sean Johnson, Zack Steffen, Matt Turner
DEFENDERS (9): Reggie Cannon, Mark McKenzie, Chris Richards, Antonee Robinson, Miles Robinson, Joe Scally, Sam Vines, DeAndre Yedlin, Walker Zimmerman
MIDFIELDERS (7): Kellyn Acosta, Tyler Adams, Gianluca Busio, Sebastian Lletget, Weston McKennie, Yunus Musah, Cristian Roldan
FORWARDS (6): Brenden Aaronson, Paul Arriola, Jesús Ferreira, Ricardo Pepi, Christian Pulisic, Tim Weah
We get into the notable absences (John Brooks, Sergino Dest, Luca de la Torre, to name a few), Berhalter's thoughts on how he constructed this roster, who is most likely to play where, ideal centerback pairings, depth at the Number 9 spot, and much more!
