We just hit the two year point for Gregg Berhalter’s term in charge of the United States Men’s National team, and to mark the occasion, I’m doing a comprehensive review of the team since he took charge. This is part two of that series, and, today, we will be talking about dual nationals on the team. If you want to check out the first part, a review of who’s in and who’s out of the roster, you can find it here. The series will also continue next week, with discussions on tactics and the player pool. With that, let’s get started.

With the close of January camp, we passed a milestone. On January 27, 2019 and 5 days after that on February 2nd, Gregg Berhalter fielded his first two teams as head coach of the United States Men’s National Team. And with the victory over Trinidad and Tobago on January 31st, we marked the two year point since those first two games. This basically marks a halfway point in the four year cycle, with about 6 months to go until World Cup Qualifying starts, and just shy of two years until the World Cup kicks off in November 2022.

The United States had other plans, but then head coach Bob Bradley brought an experienced core of players to South Africa to try and win.
