The USA national soccer team will compete in the World Cup in Qatar for the 11th time in international soccer history, with a dominant performance they reached the semifinals in the 1930s Uruguay World Cup. This was their best World Cup result. But the USA will want to silence critics by winning the World Cup this year in Qatar under the leadership of Christian Pulisic and the coaching of coach Gregg Berhalter.
They are in Group B in Qatar and this time they will face one-time world champions England, favorite European team Wales and Asia’s No. 1 team Iran. So the coach may be in a difficult position to prepare a squad of 26 best players to face these tough teams in the Qatar World Cup. Again, the coach will be comfortable with footballers like Christian Pulisic, Gio Reyna, and Weston McKennie.
Coach
Gregg Berhalter is the current head football manager of the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT). Berhalter was announced as the head coach of USMNT on 2nd December 2018. Under his guidance, the USA beat Mexico in World Cup qualifiers and qualified for the upcoming 2022 Qatar World Cup. The coach will be comfortable in Qatar with footballers like Christian Pulisic, Gio Reyna, and Weston McKennie.
Goalkeepers
Middlesbrough’s Zack Steffen and Arsenal’s Matt Turner could be a battle between the two experienced goalkeepers to play in Qatar as they have been performing very well recently.
On the other hand, New York City’s Sean Johnson and Luton Town’s Ethan Horvath could be coach Berhalter’s third and fourth-choice goalkeepers for the upcoming Qatar World Cup.
Player name | Club name |
Zack Steffen | Middlesbrough |
Matt Turner | Arsenal |
Sean Johnson | New York City |
Ethan Horvath | Luton Town |
Defenders
USA national team veteran defender John Brooks has been going through a very poor form lately so whether he will accompany his team to Qatar is up to the coach’s decision. Celtic’s veteran footballer Cameron Carter-Vickers, New York Red Bulls’ Aaron Long, and Nashville’s Walker Zimmerman are three reliable names for coach Berhalter as USA’s center-back.
AC Milan’s Sergino Dest and Crystal Palace’s Chris Richards are two talented young star footballers who could take their country one step further in the race to win the World Cup in Qatar.

John Brooks | Benfica |
Cameron Carter-Vickers | Celtic |
Aaron Long | New York Red Bulls |
Walker Zimmerman | Nashville |
