Former USA international Alexi Lalas has slammed Gregg Berhalter’s squad for the World Cup, with one selection leaving him “p****d off”.
USA are in Group B alongside England, Wales and Iran at the World Cup, which kicks off in Qatar on November 20. Ranked 16th in the world by FIFA, the Stars and Stripes are hopeful of making an impact in Doha, where they begin their tournament against Wales on November 21.
Berhalter named his 26-man squad on Wednesday, with Arsenal ’s Matt Turner, Fulham ’s Antonee Robinson and Tim Ream, Leeds United’s Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson and Chelsea ’s Christian Pulisic among those selected. But it was the decision to call up Antalyaspor striker Haji Wright which infuriated Lalas, who made 96 appearances for the USA.
