Jurgen Klinsmann made three changes to his USMNT Gold Cup roster following the group stage, but Sporting KC Designated Player Matt Besler was still left out. DaMarcus Beasley, Joe Corona, and Alan Gordon will all join the team for the knockout rounds.
Despite winning Group A in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, several questions remained of the U.S Men's National Team roster.

With some awful defense at times, many believed that a call up for Matt Besler was coming.
