It was a summer of trophies for the USMNT and Gregg Berhalter after many fans and pundits were skeptical if the former World Cup defender was the adequate person to lead the national team going into World Cup qualifying. Both passed with flying colors with two back-to-back wins over archrival Mexico in each final.
When it was all set and done the USMNT and Gregg Berhalter can add the Concacaf Nations League and Gold Cup to their list of honors. Berhalter can even boast that he won a title on his birthday and increased his depth chart.
While many of these players may not be in the squad come qualifying, their stock has risen and has caught the eye of many teams in Europe, here is a list of some of the Gold Cup winning squad members that could be changing teams before the start of the European season.
