Can ‘slow progress’ lead the United States to produce a top-20 player in the world?
Figures from around the American men’s soccer scene agree that the talent level is rising, but much work remains to improve the US men’s national team
The US men’s national team roster for the 2026 World Cup will be unveiled on Tuesday, and according to head coach Mauricio Pochettino, the team is suffering from a talent deficit.
“We are USA,” he said after a 2-0 loss to Portugal in March, which followed a 5-2 loss to Belgium three days earlier. “And we are competing against Belgium, Portugal. I think for sure Belgium and Portugal have in the top 100 players, few or some players playing in that top 100. I think we don’t have [that].”
