The United States men’s national team take the field tonight for what is a surprisingly high stakes two-legged Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinal with Trinidad & Tobago. Normally, the Nations League at this stage is nothing but glorified practices matches, but now with a place in next summer’s Copa America up for grabs, there is some anxiety and tension involved.
Which makes some noticeable key injuries impacting the U.S. even more daunting. The obvious name missing from the group during this window is that of Christian Pulisic’s. Gregg Berhalter will be tasked with replacing the face of the USMNT in these two key matches to ensure his side gets the amazing chance of playing some of South America’s best teams in 2024.
