USSF called in 26 players for the first World Cup Qualifiers since the disaster in Couva. The roster includes almost all the top players (Tim Weah and Yunus Musah had to withdraw with an injury). However, there are some players missing. What is nice to think about is that this roster is strong enough, by far, to get the job done but we could see a turnover of 4-8 names by the next window, in October to make it even stronger.
Let’s go back in history to before Couva even. After winning the Gold Cup, the USMNT faced Costa Rica, at home, in a World Cup Qualifier.
