A massive move to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/whyerling-haaland-chose-to-play-for-norway-instead-of-england-20221111-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester City</a> and praise from Josep Guardiola only added to that stamp of approval of the number 1 spot.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for Steffen’s all of that has changed as he was not one of the three goalkeepers going to the World Cup in Qatar. Over the last two years, Steffen has had a fall from grace. <strong>First being loaned out of Manchester City where in the limited matches he did play, Steffen was prone to huge blunders.</strong></p>
<p>Then on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-who-is-the-youngest-usmnt-player-at-the-fifa-world-cup-20221111-0054.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> it was his understudies that provided the heroics, first Ethan Horvath came up big saving a penalty in the Nations League final against Mexico. Then Arsenal’s Matt Turner took the starting spot from Steffen on the back of solid play for both club and country.</p>
<h2>Why is Zack Steffen missing the Qatar 2022 World Cup?</h2>
<p>Gregg Berhalter stated one of the reasons why Steffen did not go to the tournament as being, “the hierarchy” of the USMNT goalkeepers going to the World Cup and wanting “more out of Zack” going forward.</p>
<p>Many pundits have stated that Steffen may not have gone to the tournament given he might not have been happy with being a number 2 option and that Berhalter considered team harmony over taking “the best” at his disposal.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>This is not the first time something similar has happened on the USMNT, in 1994<strong> Kasey Keller, who was playing very well at Millwall, was left off of the 94 World Cup squad given his difficult relationship with coach Bora Milutinović and that US Soccer’s pre World Cup marketing centered around Tony Meola, </strong>it would have been deemed “odd” for the face of US Soccer to sit on the bench in favor of the more talented Keller.</p>

Qatar 2022: Why is Zack Steffen not playing for the USMNT in the FIFA World Cup? - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/USMNT-25-greatest-players-of-All-Time-20221027-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>United States</strong></a> are betting on youth to have a great tournament<b></b>in <strong>Qatar 2022</strong>. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-usmnt-26-man-list-that-will-try-to-defeat-england-wales-and-iran-q22-20221109-0052.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>26-player squad</strong></a> is the second-youngest for the US in <strong>World Cup</strong> historywith an average age of25 years, 175 days. Furthermore, <strong>DeAndre Yedlin</strong> will be the only player with World Cup experience (Brazil 2014).</p>
<p>For the first time ever, three U-20 players are on the final list of a <strong>World Cup</strong> with the USMNT.<strong>Joe Scally</strong> (19 years and 313 days), Yunus Musah(19 years and 345 days) and<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-who-is-the-youngest-usmnt-player-at-the-fifa-world-cup-20221111-0054.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Gio Reyna</strong></a>(19 years and 361 days).</p>
<p>The <strong>United States</strong> will play in <strong>Group B</strong> with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-what-are-the-odds-of-england-winning-the-fifa-world-cup-20221109-0051.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>England</strong></a>, Iran and Wales. A major debate among the National Team is who will be the starting goalkeeper at the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-which-team-won-the-world-cup-in-different-continents-20221112-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>2022 World Cup</strong></a> in Qatar considering the shocking announcement made a few days ago by manager <strong>Gregg Berhalter</strong>.</p>
<h2>Who will be the goalkeeper for the United States in Qatar?</h2>
<p><strong>Gregg Berhalter</strong>surprised a lot of people with his26-man final rosterfor the<strong>World Cup</strong>in Qatar. His three goalkeepers for the tournament are Ethan Horvath (Luton Town/England), Sean Johnson (New York City FC/United States) and <strong>Matt Turner</strong> (Arsenal/England).</p>
<p>The biggest surprise was the absence of <strong>Zack Steffen</strong> (Middlesbrough) considering he was the starter in the last few games of the <strong>CONCACAF qualifiers</strong>. According to Gregg Berhalter, Matt Turner’s last months with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-do-any-usmnt-players-play-in-the-premier-league-20221111-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Arsenal</strong></a> have been good enough, Ethan Horvath has been a constant in the EFL Championship with <strong>Luton Town</strong> and Sean Johnson got the call because he’s been habitual in the US group.</p>
<p><strong>Zack Steffen</strong>, alonsgside <strong>Ricardo Pepi</strong>, is probable the biggest absence for the US. He was the ‘man’ in the final stretch of the qualifers.Ethan Horvath and Sean Johnson didn’t play at all in the road to the <strong>World Cup</strong>.Now, considering this surprising scenario, <strong>Matt Turner</strong> is the front-runner to be the starting goalkeeper in <strong>Qatar </strong>for the United States. Since his international debut in 2021, Turner has 14 clean sheets in 20 caps.</p>

Qatar 2022: Who will be the USMNT's starting goalkeeper at the FIFA World Cup?

Qatar 2022: Who will be the USMNT's starting goalkeeper at the FIFA World Cup? - Bolavip US

<p>To say that American soccer players are not elite anymore is just plain ignorant. In the last three seasons there has been a huge hike in USMNT players playing in the top leagues in Europe. <strong>From Serie A to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a>, and even in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Liga</a> you can find top rated <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/us-national-team-t95392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> players.</strong></p>
<p>This season a record 12 USMNT players will be a part of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Last season <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/christian-pulisic-profile-salary-net-worth-age-teams-titles-height-weight-20210505-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Christian Pulisic </strong></a>became the second American to win European Soccer’s biggest club prize. Now players like<strong> Gio Reyna, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/transfer-rumor-weston-mckennie-may-leave-juventus-3-premier-league-teams-interested-20210824-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Weston McKennie</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sergino-dest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sergiño Dest</a> </strong>will want to continue to make history by becoming the third American to do so.</p>
<p>Gregg Berhalter can’t complain, he has some of his most important players playing at the highest level. This season the UEFA Champions League will be exciting to watch as fans will return to the stadiums, now with 12 USMNT players it gets even more interesting.<strong> Here is the list of all 12 USMNT players in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League.</strong></p>
<h2>Brenden Aaronson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629987607785/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/brenden_aaronson_crop1629987606608.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Brenden Aaronson (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Brenden Aaronson</strong> will be commanding the midfield for Red Bull Salzburg, in his short time there Aaronson has already established himself as one of the club’s better players. The Austrian team will look to at least get to the next round, but a good group showing could help Aaronson land a transfer to a bigger league.</p>
<h2>Tyler Adams</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629987504457/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/tyler_adams_crop1629987503079.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Tyler Adams (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Already a Champions League veteran<strong> Tyler Adams</strong> is back at the big stage with RB Leipzig of Germany. Adams has the skill and the talent to play at this level, the question is can he stay healthy for a whole season.</p>
<h2>John Brooks</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629987422582/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/john_brooks_crop1629987421993.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    John Brooks (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The USMNT defender gets a crack at Champions League action with Wolfsburg of Germany. <strong>John Brooks</strong> is entering his fifth season with the club and is one of the best defenders of the Bundesliga.</p>
<h2>Sergiño Dest</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629987353113/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/sergixo_dest_crop1629987352495.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Sergiño Dest (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Sergiño Dest</strong> had a lot of growing pains last season at Barcelona, this season is an opportunity to show that he has the talent and the perseverance to maintain a starting spot at Barcelona. Barcelona will be without Messi, and while the club has seen better days, Dest can still shine if he corrects some of the issues that plagued him last season.</p>
<h2>Weston McKennie</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629987286318/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/weston_mckennie_crop1629987285780.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Weston McKennie (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Weston McKennie </strong>was a bright spot for Juventus last season, now in his second season what kind of role will he have? That question will be answered by Massimiliano Allegri. McKennie can play at this level no question, hopefully Allegri will find a spot for the box-to-box midfielder.</p>
<h2>Owen Otasowie</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629987197256/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/owen_otasowie_crop1629987196715.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Owen Otasowie (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Owen Otasowie</strong> recently signed with Club Brugge of Belgium after playing just 6 games with Wolverhampton Wanderers. At 20, Otasowie seems to have a good future ahead of him, but if he wants to crack the USMNT, getting a starting spot at Brugge and good Champions League outings will be essential.</p>
<h2>Jordan Siebatcheu</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629987113422/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/jordan_siebatcheu_crop1629987108504.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Jordan Siebatcheu (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>After a great season with Young Boys on loan last season and a big goal against Honduras in the Nations League semifinal, <strong>Jordan Siebatcheu</strong> is already off to a fast start this seasonwith 2 goals in 3 games in Switzerland.</p>
<h2>Christian Pulisic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629986449839/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/christian_pulisic_crop1629986449252.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Christian Pulisic (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Last season’s Champions League winner, <strong>Christian Pulisic </strong>wants to continue to show why he is the USMNT poster boy. Pulisic already scored a goal in his first game of the Premier League season and will want to hold down a starting spot for Chelsea this season.</p>
<h2>Gio Reyna</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629987001930/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/gio_reyna_crop1629986991363.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Gio Reyna (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Gio Reyna</strong> had an up and down season at Dortmund last year but showed his capacity to win his starting spot back last season, while showing the talents that have him pegged as one of the best young prospects in the world. Reyna will look for this season to be his official coming out party.</p>
<h2>Chris Richards</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629986821000/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/chris_richards_crop1629986820449.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Chris Richards (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Chris Richards</strong> will be in the Bayern Munich squad this season, just how much he will play will depend on many factors, nonetheless it will be a season of invaluable experience.</p>
<h2>Zack Steffen</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629986755788/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/zack_steffen_crop1629986755211.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Zack Steffen (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Zack Steffen</strong> is Manchester City’s back up goalkeeper, hopefully Guardiola will give Zack some Champions League minutes. Steffen’s chances of playing are slim unless an injury occurs.</p>
<h2>Tim Weah</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1629986682457/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/26/tim_weah_crop1629986681953.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Tim Weah (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The French champion will be able to showcase his skill in the Champions League, like his father before him. <strong>Tim Weah</strong> is often used as a bench option and his goal will be to be a consistent starter for Lille.</p>

Pulisic, Reyna, McKennie and the rest of the USMNT players in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a> </strong>captivates the world, it is the most watched soccer league on the planet, and it is extremely popular in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/us-national-team-t95392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States</a>. The 2021/2022 season kicks off on August 13 and many fans in the states will be glued to their television sets or at their local bar taking in some of the best club soccer out there.</p>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/buscar?q=Manchester%20City" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester City </a>comes in as last year’s champion and in search of their eighth title, while Manchester United, the team to win the most titles in England, will look for their 21st. <strong>In the United States fans can watch the Premier League on NBC Sports, Peacock, and Telemundo Deportes.</strong></p>
<p>While American participation has diminished in the last 10 years, the Premier League has always been a place where American soccer players have made a name for themselves. The most important USMNT player plays for Chelsea, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-pulisic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Pulisic</a>, and three other players call the Premier League home, <strong>here are the 4 USMNT players on Premier League squads this season!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center">
</p><div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-73">    <span class="item first"></span>  <span class="item second"></span>  <span class="item third"></span> </div>
<p></p>
<h2>Christian Pulisic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628102663815/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/04/christian_pulisic_x1x_crop1628102663116.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Christian Pulisic (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>As if we needed to tell you! <strong>Christian Pulisic</strong> is back for his third season at Chelsea, and the American wonder has not disappointed, 13 goals in 52 games for The Blues, and a Champions League title. The key for Pulisic this season is to stay healthy and officially win a starting spot week in and week out on the squad.</p>
<h2>Zack Steffen</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628102828012/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/04/zack_steffen_crop1628102827259.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Zack Steffen (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Zack Steffen</strong> has made 1 league appearance and is the go-to goalkeeper for the domestic cup games. Steffen is very much a back-up and with his position on the USMNT being threatened either he wins the starting job or may have to find a new home.</p>
<h2>Owen Otasowie</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628102905297/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/04/owen_otasowie_crop1628102904768.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Owen Otasowie (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Owen Otasowie</strong> may be unfamiliar to some, but he has already been capped with the USMNT. Not in any of the recent squads, Otasowie will be looking to break through at Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he has played only 6 matches all last season and maybe break into the US squad.</p>
<h2>Cameron Carter-Vickers</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628102968971/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/04/cameron_carter-vickers_crop1628102968451.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Cameron Carter-Vickers (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Cameron Carter-Vickers</strong> is back at Spurs, for how long who knows, but maybe this season he might stay and be a good role player when called upon. At 23, the defender has been around, loaned to 6 clubs, time will tell if he stays or goes.</p>
<p><em>Note: Matt Miazga is still on Chelsea’s books but will most likely be loaned out somewhere and Indiana Vassilev of Aston Villa is currently on loan with Orlando City of the MLS until the end of the season.</em></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Richards is coming along slowly for the current champions and will look to get meaningful minutes during the year. The fact that he is on the squad can only help his development. <strong>His chances of playing are slim at least for now.</strong></p>
<h2>Jesse Marsch coaches Red Bull Salzburg</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" alt="Jesse Marsch" data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Jesse Marsch" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601583848777/sites/bolavip/img/2020/10/01/jesse_marsch_crop1601583848309.jpg_21146372.jpg" width="740" height="411"><figcaption>    Jesse Marsch will coach in his second Champions League.

<p></p></div>
<p>In his second season with the club,Marsch will coach in his second consecutive Champions League. <strong>If he can get out of the group, it will be a huge victory for the Austrian side.</strong></p>

<h2>Zack Steffen – Manchester City</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" alt="Zack Steffen" data-height="463" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:463" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Zack Steffen" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601583967340/sites/bolavip/img/2020/10/01/zack_steffen_crop1601583966746.jpg_166139169.jpg" width="740" height="463"><figcaption style="background: transparent">    Zack Steffen will look for Champions League minutes with Manchester City. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Steffen has already played in a few cup games for Man City </strong>this season, and while he is not the starter, don’t be surprised if he gets some minutes in the Champions League group stage.</p>
<h2>Group D</h2>
<h2>Alex Méndez – Ajax</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" alt="Alex Mendez" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Alex Mendez" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1602249741520/sites/bolavip/img/2020/10/09/alex_mxndez_crop1602249740995.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Alex Mendez at Ajax.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Alex Méndezhas only recently been promoted to the Ajax senior side and will be in the mix as a rotation player </strong>most likely.Méndez is a USMNT youth international who moved to Ajax in 2019, he played in the youth systems of the L.A. Galaxy in MLS andSC Freiburg of Germany before making a move to the Netherlands.</p>
<h2>Group E</h2>
<h2>Christian Pulisic – Chelsea</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" alt="Christian Pulisic" data-height="462" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:462" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Christian Pulisic" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601584159697/sites/bolavip/img/2020/10/01/christian_pulisic_crop1601584159244.jpg_165215648.jpg" width="740" height="462"><figcaption>    Christian Pulisic is no stranger to the Champions League.

<p></p></div>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/christian-pulisic-t127491" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pulisic</a> is no stranger to this stage having played for Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea already. <strong>This season many pundits have noted that Pulisic will have a breakout year</strong>, he is wearing the number 10 jersey at Chelsea and will be a key player in their title hopes.</p>
<h2>Group F</h2>
<h2>Gio Reyna – BorussiaDortmund</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" alt="Gio Reyna" data-height="463" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:463" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Gio Reyna" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601584326989/sites/bolavip/img/2020/10/01/gio_reyna_crop1601584326508.jpg_166139169.jpg" width="740" height="463"><figcaption>    Reyna will look to make his mark in the Champions League. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Like Pulisic, Reyna is coming on strong for Borussia Dortmund, this will only add to the experience he has gained, and it could be a coming-out party for Gio Reyna at such a high level.</p>
<h2>Ethan Horvath – Club Brugge</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" alt="Ethan Horvath" data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Ethan Horvath" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601584437694/sites/bolavip/img/2020/10/01/ethan_horvath_crop1601584437252.jpg_21146372.jpg" width="740" height="411"><figcaption>    Ethan Horvath will most likely be on the bench for Brugge. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Life has been pretty dull for Horvath at Brugge, he lost both his starting spot on the teamandhe has fallen out of favor with the USMNT. His chances of playing are slim unless he regains his starting spot.</p>
<h2>Group G</h2>
<h2>Weston McKennie – Juventus</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" alt="Weston McKennie" data-height="463" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:463" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Weston McKennie" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601584564259/sites/bolavip/img/2020/10/01/weston_mckennie_crop1601584563629.jpg_166139169.jpg" width="740" height="463"><figcaption>    Weston McKennie in action for Juventus.

<p></p></div>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/weston-mckennie-t137414" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McKennie</a> as of right now is starting at Juventus and will most likely be rotating in the midfield as the schedule picks up for the Italian champions. No question about it, McKennie will play a role forJuve this season.</p>
<h2>Konrad De la fuente – Barcelona</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" alt="Konrad De la fuente Barcelona" data-height="464" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:464" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Konrad De la fuente Barcelona" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601584717563/sites/bolavip/img/2020/10/01/konrad_de_la_fuente_barcelona_crop1601584717061.jpg_167062690.jpg" width="740" height="464"><figcaption>    Konrad De la fuente is gaining experience at Barcelona.

<p></p></div>
<p>Konrad, as he is going by at Barcelona, is at the moment a squad player and his chances ofplaying are slim, but he might come in if a player gets injured.</p>
<h2>Sergiño Dest – Barcelona</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" alt="Sergiño Dest" data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Sergiño Dest" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601584827400/sites/bolavip/img/2020/10/01/sergixo_dest_crop1601584827021.jpg_21146372.jpg" width="740" height="411"><figcaption>    Sergiño Dest at Barcelona.

<p>It’s hard not to argue that the U.S. has talent in every position, and this will make <strong>Gregg Berhalter’s job a bit easier knowing his top talents are playing meaningful minutes in these competitive leagues.</strong> Players like Duane Holmes and Julian Green may be in the second divisions, but can also be used as good role players when called upon.</p>
<p>Fielding a starting 11 is always hard, especially when you have options in each position. Some players will be left out, but <strong>there are 11 key players in Europe the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/Top-25-US-mens-national-soccer-team-prospects-for-Qatar-2022-20200601-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> hope continueto develop</strong> and lead the team back to the 2022 World Cup.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>While Zack Steffen is not starting at Manchester City, he has already played in a cup game and<strong> the day in and day out training for a top club make it hard to argue there is another goalkeeper ahead of him</strong> in the pool.</p>

<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Reggie Cannon – Boavista" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Reggie Cannon – Boavista" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601484466597/sites/bolavip/img/2020/09/30/reggie_cannon_crop1601484466136.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>   Reggie Cannon recently signed with Boavista in Portugal.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Reggie Cannon was already one of the best right-backs in MLS when he was sold to Boavista in Portugal</strong>, since his arrival, he has started every game and will be one of the main options for the U.S. Defense.</p>
<h2>Defender – John Brooks – Wolfsburg</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="John Brooks – Wolfsburg" data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="John Brooks – Wolfsburg" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601484576866/sites/bolavip/img/2020/09/30/john_brooks_crop1601484576299.jpg_21146372.jpg" width="740" height="411"><figcaption>   John Brooks at Wolfsburg.

<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Chris Richards" data-height="463" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:463" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Chris Richards" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601484875591/sites/bolavip/img/2020/09/30/chris_richards_crop1601484875125.jpg_166139169.jpg" width="740" height="463"><figcaption>   Chris Richards is a young prospect at Bayern.

<p></p></div>
<p>Chris Richards has yet to claim a place in the Bayern first team, but coach Hans-Dieter Flick has praised him and has inserted him in some games. <strong>If he can continue to develop, he will challenge for a starting spot.</strong></p>
<h2>Left Back – Sergiño Dest – Barcelona</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Sergiño Dest – Barcelona" data-height="556" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:556" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Sergiño Dest – Barcelona" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601485131665/sites/bolavip/img/2020/09/30/dest_crop1601485131214.jpg_1027784262.jpg" width="740" height="556"><figcaption>   Sergiño Dest playing at Ajax.

<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Tim Weah" data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Tim Weah" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601485262511/sites/bolavip/img/2020/09/30/tim_weah_crop1601485261870.jpg_21146372.jpg" width="740" height="411"><figcaption>   The son of George Weah, Tim Weah plays for Lille in France.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>The multipurpose midfielder is coming back from injury</strong> and has shown flashes of what he can do at Celtic and PSG. He will need to stay healthy, but Weah has the energy and talent to be a key figure for the USMNT.</p>
<h2>Midfielder – Weston McKennie – Juventus</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Weston McKennie – Juventus" data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Weston McKennie – Juventus" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601485333373/sites/bolavip/img/2020/09/30/weston_crop1601485332934.jpg_21146372.jpg" width="740" height="411"><figcaption>   Weston McKennie chatting it up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus.

<p>Since his move to Juventus, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/the-rise-of-weston-mckennie-20200824-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Weston McKennie</a> has only added to his rising stock. <strong>He was one of FC Schalke 04 best players last season and already has received positive marks in Italy.</strong> He is one of the new leaders of the U.S. team.</p>
<h2>Midfielder – Tyler Adams – R. B. Leipzig</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Tyler Adams - R. B. Leipzig" data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Tyler Adams - R. B.

B. Leipzig. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Adams is one of the U.S. most consistent European based players</strong>, he has grown in each season since his move to Germany. The key is for Adams is to avoid injury, despite some amazing performances his seasons are cut short due to injury.</p>
<h2>Midfielder – Christian Pulisic – Chelsea</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Christian Pulisic – Chelsea" data-height="463" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:463" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Christian Pulisic – Chelsea" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601485546119/sites/bolavip/img/2020/09/30/pulisic_crop1601485545613.jpg_166139169.jpg" width="740" height="463"><figcaption>   Christian Pulisic is the USMNT biggest star. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The new Landon Donovan, the man who everyone will look too to lead the squad. <strong>Pulisic is yet to debut this season, but<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/how-christian-pulisic-began-to-prove-his-worth-at-chelsea-20200805-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last year he was the best player for Chelsea</a></strong>, that can’t be argued. He completely dominated in a game against Liverpool and scored some amazing goals. The hopes of the USMNT rest on Pulisic.</p>
<h2>Midfielder – Gio Reyna – Borussia Dortmund</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Gio Reyna - Borussia Dortmund" data-height="463" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:463" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Gio Reyna - Borussia Dortmund" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601485708432/sites/bolavip/img/2020/09/30/gio_reyna_crop1601485707936.jpg_166139169.jpg" width="740" height="463"><figcaption>   Gio Reyna playing for Borussia Dortmund. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Like his father before him, <strong>Reyna looks set to be the new USMNT set up man.</strong> His quick passing and field vision will look to open up spaces for speedsters Pulisic and Weah. Reyna started his season strong as he looks to break out for Dortmund.</p>
<h2>Forward – Josh Sargent – Werder Bremen</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Josh Sargent - Werder Bremen" data-height="463" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:463" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Josh Sargent - Werder Bremen" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1601485801021/sites/bolavip/img/2020/09/30/sargent_crop1601485800524.jpg_166139169.jpg" width="740" height="463"><figcaption>   Josh Sargent at Werder Bremen. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The USMNT weakest position by far is forward. Sargent is young, but he plays on a dreadful Bremen side. With little options besides Sargent, the U.S. will hope that he finally starts scoring for his club. <strong>At the national team level, Sargent does have 5 goals in 12 games.</strong></p>
