YOUNG AMERICANS
The USMNT was by far the youngest team to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, garnering valuable experience going through the rigors of World Cup qualifying. Through 14 qualifiers, the USA Starting XI came in at an average of 23.82, almost two years younger than the next closest team, Ghana at 25.67. Together, the other 31 participating teams averaged a Starting XI age of 27.5 through qualifying, nearly four full years older than the U.S. Sources say this is one of the youngest, but most talented teams the U.S. has ever fielded. While they may not win the world cup this year, they may garner the experience needed to make a serious run on home soil in the year 2026 when the World Cup comes back to North America.

Players should boycott because the stadiums were built with slave labor.

Not watching til women get paid as much as the men

Day after Thanksgiving against England will be fun. Will be the most watched soccer game in American history.

It is hard to get a read on this team but I think we are really sound on defense which gives us a good shot in these games.

I worry about where turn to for scoring if Ferreira starts and is not having an impactful match.

Excited to see Gio Reyna go to work though he has been healthy and effective playing for Borussia Dortmund lately.

Gtfoh

Do pansexuals care about gender assignments?

I'm going to watch the England one. Just because of the pure hilarity it would be if we beat them at their own game. A game we barely care about. It would be great.

Really hoping Reyna has a good tournament he deserves it.

Qatar kills homosexuals

One thing Qatar has tons of is money and sand and Falcon stores. They should live nicely until they get booted in the opening round.

Good times!

He's been starting for Dortmund now correct, post injury?

Hoping he has the stamina for a full 90.

Yep

I don’t know anyone on this new generation squad except McKinney and Pullisic.

Are they as good as the Landon Donovan/Clint Dempsey teams?
