Assists in two consecutive Nations League matches may not seem like much, but his decision making has improved. On a similar note, Luca de la Torre has solidified his role as the first man off of the bench. While his starting role depends on the health of Gio Reyna, not many players on the roster are as direct and driven to make life hard for goalkeepers like Weah. Weah has put his club form behind him and is one of the most electric players on the pitch for the national team.

Keeping it simple is important in international play and Long plus Zimmerman can accomplish that. While it wasn't always pretty, Long was solid in the role and didn't do anything to hurt the team. Long could likely see himself as the starter at center back alongside Walker Zimmerman after logging minutes in all four matches that the USMNT played during their June window. There are four new entries into this section (technically three new entries and one returner) as Aaron Long, Tim Weah, and Jesus Ferreira have done enough to book their trips to Qatar. While the majority of these names are self-explanatory due to talent (Pulisic) or locker room presence (Yedlin), the 17 players above will all make the World Cup roster barring injury. When Berhalter was asked about his roster heading into friendlies versus Morocco, Uruguay, and Nations League matches earlier this month he alluded that most of the roster is already set with around 10 spots being fluid.

With so many players playing locally in MLS and the top talent abroad in Europe, Berhalter has a huge pool of players to choose his roster from. It's a massive year for the red, white and blue to prove their ability on a global scale after missing out on the 2018 edition. With the International Football Association agreeing to allow five substitutes per match, it paves the way for the World Cup rosters being at 26 men before long.

While current rules allow for a 23-man roster, teams are expecting an expansion to 26 players for the tournament in Qatar this November. We may be months away from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but planning and preparation for it is already well underway for United States men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter.
