Alexi Lalas just revealed what he thinks should be the starting lineup for the USMNT in the 2024 Copa América. He might’ve been spot on.

United States men’s national team fans were thrilled to see that Gio Reyna was given his first start with Nottingham Forest on Saturday for their 2-2 draw vs. Wolves. The American took advantage of the opportunity with a solid outing and supplied an assist.

A Miles Robinson header and subsequent deflection off Cory Burke’s cranium was Berhalter’s savior.
The 23-player roster for the United States men’s national team’s upcoming games in the Concacaf Nations League was revealed on Wednesday. The roster had several surprises including the return of Tyler Adams and Josh Sargent.
Gregg Berhalter appeared on CBS’s pregame coverage of the UEFA Champions League and took questions from Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards about the squad he selected.
“This was the hardest roster we’ve ever had to pick based on the players in form,” Berhalter said.
