Sounds of Soccer ASMR

Ahhh, the soothing sounds of soccer ASMR.

An empty field.

Just you and the ball. And some birds.

Put on some headphones and turn up that volume to hear the satisfying sounds of putting on boots, juggling, shooting, crossbar pings and more.

How Is The USMNT Roster Picked?

Potential new players can be scouted from all over the country at various events. 

Some of these events can include semi pro & pro leagues, youth club & league matches, olympic development programs, and USSF & youth national team events.

The scouted players are then evaluated by USMNT technical staff during events such as training camps, friendlies and official matches.

Once chosen, players are notified at least 15 days in advance of a camp or match. The final roster is then selected 1 week before the match.
