Sorting through the US national team’s 55-player pool

Bruce Arena has officially been named new US national team head coach, and one of his first actions since replacing Jurgen Klinsmann was compiling a massive player pool of 50 or more players. We don’t know who is on that list, but we have a pretty good idea of the players in consideration.

Looking at the current crop of American players home and abroad, I’ve compiled a 55-man player pool, told through their likelihood of starting or making a roster. Let’s get started:

Obvious starters: Michael Bradley, Fabian Johnson, John Brooks, Geoff Cameron, Jozy Altidore

There’s no keeping these guys out of the starting XI.
