USMNT: Looking ahead to 2018's defenders and goalkeepers

Russia is only a couple years away as we look at where the USMNT stands right now in the back.

Back in 2014 after the World Cup, I started keeping tabs on the next wave of American internationals. Now that we're a year and a half closer to Russia 2018, it seems like a good time to revisit our up and coming prospects.

The US brought one of the older teams to Brazil 14'. Only 7 'young' players made the last World Cup roster (based on being eligible for the 2012 Olympic team), and Jurgen Klinsmann has hinted on more than one occasion (including with the composition of the January camp) that he'd like to have a younger roster at his disposal in Russia.
