The US Men’s National Team has a chance to qualify for its first Olympic tournament since 2008. Failing to reach the tournament in the past two cycles has reflected the overall struggles of the US Men’s program culminating in being eliminated from the 2018 World Cup in the Hex. However, in recent years the team has made huge strides in producing youth talent thanks in significant degree to the success of MLS academies developing talent. The recent success will be put to the test from March 18-30 in Mexico.

We just hit the two year point for Gregg Berhalter’s term in charge of the United States Men’s National team, and to mark the occasion, I’m doing a comprehensive review of the team since he took charge. This is part four and final part of the series, and we will be talking about how the player pool has improved over the last two years. If you need to catch up, you can go back to the first, second, and third parts, where we talked about roster selection, dual nationals, and tactics, respectively. I hope all of you have enjoyed the series and found something insightful.
