Where the USMNT stands after the Gold Cup - a roster breakdown

Editor's note: The following commentary was written by 3rd Degree writer emeritus Jason Benfield. @JasonOBenfield

The USMNT basically met expectations with a second place finish to Mexico in the Gold Cup. Heading into the tournament most followers of the team were just hoping to get to the finals and avoid a blowout loss to Mexico. From that perspective, some fans might argue that the team actually exceeded expectations.

The most important goal is qualification for the 2022 World Cup, and to that end, a better understanding of where we stand from a roster perspective is helpful.
