Speculation is rife following the surprised omission of goalkeeper Zack Steffen from the 2022 United States World Cup roster.
Steffen, who this season is on loan at English second-tier team Middlesbrough from English champion Manchester City, was once far and away considered the United States no.1 keeper, leaving both fans and media members questioning why he was left off of the roster for Qatar.
One of those media members was former USMNT midfielder Stuart Holden, who raised the question of whether or not something happened between Steffen and head coach Gregg Berhalter behind the scenes.
