This is the first of a series of position by position analysis of the USMNT player pool now that we have all of the data from World Cup Qualifying (WCQ). I will analyze each position within the context of the USMNT system (4-3-3). Within this series I will look at the health and storylines to track for each position between now and the World Cup, along with my way too early squad predictions for the World Cup.
As of right now the squad sizes for the World Cup is 23, but there are discussions of it being expanded to 26 and I am expecting that they will make the decision to expand to 26.
