USMNT roster uncertain after Nations League losses

The U.S. men's national soccer team (USMNT) is facing challenges after two disappointing losses in the CONCACAF Nations League finals. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino stated that the roster is "open," indicating that changes may be necessary as they prepare for the 2026 World Cup. The losses to Panama and Canada raised concerns about the team's performance. Pochettino is now considering whether to keep his star players or make significant changes. He has until the Gold Cup to finalize his squad, which is the last official competition before the World Cup. Despite the defeats, some players remain locks for the World Cup roster, assuming they are healthy. Key players include Christian Pulisic, Antonee Robinson, and Tyler Adams. They are seen as essential despite recent underwhelming performances. Others are on the edge of making the team. Midfielder Gio Reyna's limited minutes have drawn attention, with Pochettino questioning his readiness. Meanwhile, Diego Luna has emerged as a bright spot, impressing during his time on the field. As the USMNT continues to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses, the final roster for the World Cup will depend on player performances leading up to the tournament.
