Summary

The United States has reportedly finalized its 26-player roster for the 2026 World Cup, with Brenden Aaronson, Mark McKenzie, and Gio Reyna among the expected selections. Reyna, who was sent home from the 2022 World Cup due to behavioral issues, is expected to be included on the roster for Mauricio Pochettino’s first World Cup run as USMNT manager. Real Salt Lake standout Diego Luna and Zavier Gozo did not make the final squad.


Our Reading

The game followed a familiar script.

Gio Reyna, the polarizing figure, gets another chance to prove himself on the international stage.

Diego Luna’s omission from the roster is a tough decision, but not surprising given his recent form.

Sebastian Berhalter, the son of former USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter, is one of the expected selections.

This one feels like a learning moment for the young USMNT players.

Original Observation: The World Cup roster is always a mix of surprises and expected selections, but what fans really care about is the performance on the field.
