U.S. men's national team (USMNT) defender Chris Richards is determined to be part of bringing the first men's World Cup title back stateside.
Richards is part of the USMNT's promsing and youthful side, which features Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Sergino Dest, Tyler Adams and Gio Reyna.
With that young core preparing for 2022 and, ultimately, a 2026 World Cup on home soil, Richards says the current group has lofty aims and ambitions of joining the world's elite.
