USMNT Stock Watch: Backing Catastrophe Concacaf Nations League

<!–>

It’s hard to think about any member The male team of the USA whose reputation remained completely intact after last week’s Concacaf League nation debacle in Los Angeles, where Americans lost to Panama and Canada And he saw the main rival of Mexico as he first raised the trophy.

Oppositely see where the players of the player is currently imperative, precisely because the failure was so complete.

Mauricio Pochettino has to make the main decisions. AND USMNTStar coach now has just another competitive tournament – this summer Concacaf Gold Cup -It that is to evaluate your detachment and perform the necessary adjustments in the guidance up to 2026. FIFA World Cupwhich will now host in less than 15 months.

With just over nine weeks before Pochetta’s selection gathers in Chicago for their training camp before naked, here’s a recording of his capabilities.

Goalkeepers

Of course, Matt Turner He probably should have done better on Panama’s winning goal in a time of stop. And yes, Zack Steffen It is scheduled to start a third place match against Canada before the disease excluded it.

But Turner, despite the lack of time to play for the Premier League Crystal palaceStill is the top -notch -foot guard in training up to some distance, there are more sources for Fox Sports, and he nodded Patrick Schulte When it was determined that Steffen – who is the overall goalkeeper coach in the game of Toni Jimenez is still not necessarily sold – could not go. Meanwhile, doc Ethan Horvath He did not impress the staff in his lone camp under Pochettin in October and remains from the outside, that could change in the next two months now that he has started again for the English club of the second layer Cardiff City.

Full returnees

The League of Nations Finals emphasized how much the downhill was massive behind the longtime starters Antonee “Jed” Robinson on the left and Sergño Dest to the right. Both alums of the 2022 World Cup missed March games due to injury. Hope is that both are healthy and available for a golden cup, because the problem is if they are not.

Joe Scalywhich started 12 of the last 14 USMnt games during the official FIFA window since Dest wounded his ACL in training for the Dutch titanium Psv eindhoven Almost a year ago, he is service and versatile, although the real preferred his usual position. “I’m naturally, back,” he said the day before he took Jedi’s place opposite Los Canaleros. Pochettino returned to the important side to the opposite side for Sunday’s competition and inserted 23-year-old Max Arfsten on the left.

Arfsten is likely to compete to travel the Gold Cup with European couple John Tolkin and Caleb Wiley. Kristoffer Lund is another candidate (although he is probably not strong because Pochettino has left Lunda from his last two full -power camps, as is Dejaun Jones.

Marlon Fossey Did the second return to the March team, invited in front of 2022 Shaq Moore. But Bryan Reynolds He builds his case, with almost 2,400 minutes played in the top league of Belgium this season. And maybe Pochettino will re -examine PSV Richie Ledesma, who the coach said more as a midfielder, given Fossey’s fighting from the bench against Canadian. The Roenix native of Ledesm remains eligible to present both Mexico and the USA

Central back

Submitted as a precautionary measure before Panama’s winner and resting for the second game, Chris RichardsThe status as the first American central defender on the Pochettino list is probably unchanged. Thirty -seven Tim reamwho also sat on Sunday, continues to fight the father, while Mark McKenzie He had a brutal window, beaten up in the upgrade of both winners in Los Angeles. Cameron Carter-Vickers A rare start against Canada; The fact that they now admitted three times while he was on the field probably not helping him.

The biggest winners may be guys who weren’t there. Auston reliably It was a late withdrawal this month to be considered a golden cup. And so options based on MLS like us veterinarians Miles Robinson and Walker Zimmermann and CF Montreal’s George Campbell. There is even an external chance of 18-year-old Hawaii born Noahkai Bankwho won eight appearances for Augsburg this season in the German Bundesliga. But Banks, who could go to the U-20 World Cup in September, is more likely to be the potential after 2026.

Midfielders

As with most teams, Pochettino’s best players must be his best players for now. That didn’t happen this month. Said Argentinian rejected men’s stars Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisik With Americans a series of goal and more than 20 minutes of regular playing time. He also sat Yunus Musah against Canada. (Musah, who returned to the first loss, came off the bench in the second.)

Now she needs more than all four this summer. They need a lot more than a crazy inconsistent McKennie, but they will have to wait until the fall, with the furious Texan and his Juventus teammate Tim Weah Set participate in the FIFA Club World Cup, which occupies the same dates this June and July as the Golden Cup.

WITH Johnny Cardoso forced a drinking list with a smaller injury, Tanner Tessmann started the opener. He did not take the opportunity. Both will continue to come back this summer, while the left is a playmaker Jack McGlynn and Mediatrix Defense midfielder Aidan Morris Should the place he left McKennie.

Gio Reyna is as equally enigma as always. He also needed to miss the golden cup; If Reyna leaves Borussia Dortmund This summer is likely to be after the club’s World Cup. Other options include a hard veterinarian Bredden Aaronsoncolleague Katar 2022. Alum Luca de la Torre, camper January Emeka EneliOr maybe even an outsider such as 20-year-old destroyer Santiago Castañeda-Floridian, who recorded more than 2,000 minutes for a candidate for promoting Bundesliga Paderborn.

Wings

Pulisic and Weah remain the locks despite their relatively quiet screens of the League of Nations. One of the lonely bright places during the otherwise terrible week was the striker Diego Luna, who started against Canada and set the only goal of Americans.

“I was glad I did well in my first big international game,” Luna told Fox Sports afterwards. “I look forward to hoping to get many more options.” Starting with a golden cup, which is now security.

Crazy Paxten AaronsonBreden’s 21-year-old brother house; Played 25 games Eredivisie (six goals, two assists) for Utrecht on loan of Eintracht Frankfurt. Both Aaronson had benefits that were not in LA -in as well as Club América Settlement Alex Zendejaswhich has five goals in the last 10 games in the MX league. It is not clear if they are PSV Malik Tillman (ankle surgery) will recover on time for the Gold Cup camp training, which should be opened in Chicago on June 1.

Attackers

You have to feel Josh Sargentwho hit the post and had a clinical finish (correctly) canceled for the offside in a panam match, extending his in vain in front of the now

Who knows how many opportunities are Norwich City Center forward will get when Ricardo Pepi and Folarin Balogun Get back this summer. There is Haji WrightWho continues to score for the championship Coventry CityNow and in front of Sargent?

Meanwhile, Brandon Vazquez scored his first goal for Austin fc Last weekend and could warm up. And 2024. American Olympian Damion Downs20, he was on the temporary list of league nations and had nine goals in 23 games for Cologne in the Second Division of Germany.
