The 26 players that will represent the U.S. men’s national team at the World Cup this summer were unveiled on Tuesday during a live event in New York City. They all gathered on stage, while rapper and singer Gunna performed for the crowd of U.S. fans, a spectacle “that’s America,” plain and simple, according to star midfielder Tyler Adams.
The squad’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, was of course present, having worked towards the roster selection day since he took over the USMNT position in Sept. 2024, trialing over 80 players in several different formations over the past year and a half.
