The US qualified for their first World Cup since 2014 on Wednesday night in Costa Rica. Here’s TYAC’s first post-qualification roster projection and analysis.

The United States face an old rival in a daunting venue, and a tricky set of demands, in a decisive final week of World Cup qualifying.

After a disappointing autumn, the US enter a critical 2019 with plenty of questions.

A major challenge for US Soccer in the aftermath of the catastrophe in Couva is expanding access and increasing participation in underserved communities.

A very diverse U20 team, coupled with the black and brown faces that dominate the quickly forming core of the next senior men’s national team, provide hope, even in a contemporary moment plagued by political tribalism.

The US again showed flashes of promise in its October friendlies against Colombia and Peru.
