What Should the USMNT World Cup Roster Look Like Post Gold Cup?
Assessing who helped and hurt their stock by picking 23 names now.
There is still plenty of time for things to change, but the Gold Cup was meant to be a big proving ground for making the 2018 World Cup squad. The USMNT has several spots that appear to be locked in with just a few at each position to go. So who helped and who hurt themselves this past month?
Goalkeepers (3)
Going to Russia: Tim Howard, Brad Guzan, Ethan Horvath
Just Missed: Nick Rimando, Jesse Gonzalez
No big surprises here, Howard and Guzan are the two main keepers for the USMNT. The last spot should go to a younger player, and Horvath could potentially get some Champions League time in the next few months.
