A Philadelphia Union perspective on a busy year ahead for the USMNT

Earlier this week, USMNT head coach Greg Berhalter discussed the packed 2021 slate for his national team on Sirius XM with Glenn Crooks.

If everything goes according to plan, the USA will compete in the Concacaf Nations League knockouts, the Gold Cup, an Olympic campaign with U-23s, and the highly anticipated World Cup qualifiers.

Berhalter acknowledged that because of the heavy fixture list, he likely will have to “call on 30 to 40 players next year.” The United States’ depth and growth from the lows of 2018 will be extremely tested ahead of the looming 2022 World Cup.
