USA Soccercast, Episode 199: New cycle, new look USMNT
The youth movement has arrived.
There are 13 uncapped players on the new roster, of which 12 are receiving their first senior MNT call-up. We’re excited about guys like Cavan Sullivan to get their shot. We go through the roster to see who’s in and who’s left at home.
We then get into the news that Noahkai Banks has decided to represent Germany moving forward by accepting a German U-21 national team call-up. Julian Hall, despite being called into the USMNT, is still undecided on whether to pick the U.S. or Poland. We discuss these dual national decisions and what goes into them. They’re difficult ones, and you have to respect their ultimate choice.
