Josh Sargent, Haji Wright and Jesus Ferreira were ineffective in the World Cup in Qatar. They are all under 24 years old. Sargeent is the most well-rounded player of the three. Ferrer is 21. Wright made one start in that tournament. Jordan Pefok and Ricardo Pepi were unlucky not to make the 26-man roster. Daryl Dike is injured and out of contention. Folarin Balogun is eligible to represent England and Nigeria. There is a World cup in 2026. There are three-and-a-half years until that. The players with little experience in USA setup can become important contributors.
