United States men’s national team fans and especially Gregg Berhalter will be taking a massive sigh of relief Thursday night after a late flurry of goals resulted in a 3-0 victory vs. Trinidad and Tobago.
The Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal first leg victory will make the Monday’s game in Trinidad way more comfortable with a three-goal aggregate lead. Whoever wins the quarterfinal secures a place in next summer’s Copa América.
One of the most exciting tournaments in the world is returning to the United States.
The Copa America will be back in the United States and will — like in the Copa America Centenario in 2016 — feature six guest nations from Concacaf but now as part of the federation’s “strategic collaboration agreement to strengthen and develop football in both regions” with CONMEBOL that was announced earlier this summer.
The collaboration also includes the Concacaf Women's Gold Cup and a new club competition.
The United States U-17 men’s youth national team has a star in the making and it’s 15-year-old Nimfasha Berchimas.
The U.S. is competing in the U-17 World Cup in Indonesia and secured a spot in the Round of 16 after defeating Burkina Faso 2-1 on Wednesday. The Americans bested South Korea 3-1 in their opening game and now sit tied at six points with France, mathematically advancing the U.S. out of the group.
The United States men’s national team roster for two Concacaf Nations League games against Trinidad and Tobago was revealed on Thursday and fans will have one big question. Why is Pulisic not playing vs Trinidad and Tobago?
Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah are U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter’s preferred starting wingers, however neither were included in the latest roster.
This is because the attacking pair are both recovering from hamstring injuries.
UPDATE: After an MRI scan it was confirmed that Pulisic didn't suffer any major injury and could return soon.

Landon Donovan being left off Jürgen Klinsmann’s 2014 World Cup roster was a stunning move from the German head coach. Now nearly 10 years later Donovan has confessed what he said to Klinsmann after being told he wouldn’t go to the World Cup.
Donovan appeared as a guest on CBS Sports’ show “Kickin’ It” with Kate Abdo, Clint Dempsey, Maurice Edu and Charlie Davies and was asked about that moment in 2014.
United States men’s national team legend Landon Donovan rubbed plenty of American fans the wrong way back in 2018 when he announced that “My other team is Mexico” in a Wells Fargo advertisement.
Five years later he’s finally revealed the truth behind that moment.
Back in 2018 the U.S. men’s soccer scene was at an all-time low after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Seeing Donovan supporting the USMNT’s biggest rival drew criticism from former players too who weren’t on board with the stunt.
Jozy Altidore was a guest on CBS Sports’ show “Kickin’ It” and said that the United States men’s national team from nine years ago could beat the current squad. The 2014 USMNT vs 2023 USMNT question started a large debate on social media.
