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>

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>

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>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/christian-pulisic-t127491" 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">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173838_christian_pulisic_x1x_crop1628102663116.jpg_22069893_260ab55d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><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">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173838_zack_steffen_crop1628102827259.jpg_22069893_d14a59fb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><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">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173838_owen_otasowie_crop1628102904768.jpg_22069893_fd90110c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><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">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173838_cameron_carter-vickers_crop1628102968451.jpg_22069893_c3d42ca3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><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>
