USA - World Cup Profile
Take a closer look at the USA ahead of Qatar 2022!
Road to Qatar 2022
The United States felt like they had a point to prove after failing to qualify for Russia in 2018.
However, CONCACAF qualifying was far from a routine affair for the USMNT. Gregg Berhalter's side ultimately qualified in third place, level on 25 points with fourth-place Costa Rica but boasting a superior +6 goal difference, as the Ticos were forced into an intercontinental play-off with New Zealand.
This will be the United States' 11th World Cup and Berhalter will be urging his side to make the most of an intriguing group B draw.

Player to watch
Christian Pulisic - If the US upset the odds and progress beyond the group stage in Qatar, the chances are that Pulisic will have had a lot to do with it. The 24-year-old Chelsea star has consistently been the Americans' most important player in recent years, one of the few individuals capable of producing game-changing moments on the biggest stage. The man known as "Captain America" was a crucial contributor during the US qualification campaign, which included a hat-trick against Panama in March.
