In his limited time, he did well to create space for himself on the dribble and picked out a couple of teasing balls over the top. The lack of consistent chance creation was especially worrying. Certainly the rest of the team didn't give him enough to work with in the final third, but he never really found the game. The Juventus man was lively in the first half, popping up all over the field and combining well on the left side, but his influence waned after the break. The Chelsea winger had a strong first half and faded quickly after the break. 9 didn't really answer any of the questions he needed to on the field. [Zimmerman](https://www.mlssoccer.com/players/walker-zimmerman/) was composed defensively, and a lot of the best USMNT moves came from him being more ambitious with his passing. The [Nashville SC](https://www.mlssoccer.com/clubs/nashville-sc/) stalwart was able to threaten Saudi Arabia with direct passing, and his improvement was one of the few encouraging signs. He really struggled to break down Saudi Arabia's low block, instead opting to circulate the ball wide, when often a more ambitious pass would have been rewarded. [Yedlin](https://www.mlssoccer.com/players/deandre-yedlin/) took two rough challenges before coming off. Playing inverted on the left, Dest looked bright early on.

USMNT fans were left panicking after Gio Reyna exited Tuesday's final pre-World Cup friendly against Saudi Arabia with an apparent injury.

USMNT fans held their collective breath with the World Cup less than two months away. THE VERDICT: While nothing serious at this point, a long-term injury to Reyna would be a massive blow to the USMNT and their chances to make it out of the World Cup group stage - where they've been drawn with Wales, England and Iran in Group B. THE BIGGER PICTURE: An important piece of Gregg Berhalter's formation, Reyna has a history of injury problems with Borussia Dortmund, suffering a serious of hamstring issues that forced him to miss the majority of the 2021-22 season.

In the USMNT's final friendly before November's World Cup, Gregg Berhalter's team once again looked listless and uninspired. Should fans be worried?

With [Kellyn Acosta](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/159478/Kellyn-Acosta) coming in for [Luca de la Torre](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/225609/Luca-de-la-Torre) in midfield, the U.S. [Christian Pulisic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/225607/Christian-Pulisic) to the attack, and [Ricardo Pepi](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/289120/Ricardo-Pepi) started as well.

There's prioritizing talent and skill, and then there's coach Gregg Berhalter's tendency to prioritize loyalty.

I gave the outside forward starting spots to Pulisic and Aaronson, with a hopefully healthy Reyna being a consistent super-sub. Walker Zimmerman and Aaron Long are the pair Berhalter and I agree on, and he’s likely to start that MLS duo against Wales on Nov. The USMNT isn’t blessed with center-back talent, especially with a long-term injury that forced Miles Robinson, the team’s best at the position, to be out of consideration for the World Cup. How do you deny the starting striker for the top team in the Bundesliga? The decision for Moore to be in the 26 is because of Cannon’s tendencies. Ream has worn the armband for Fulham this season and even if you don’t play him in Qatar that much, his veteran presence is needed for the Yanks. Berhalter’s affinity for Zack Steffen is obvious and I think he’s a top-three keeper in the USMNT pool. Musah, McKennie, and Adams as the midfield starters is the right call and a safe bet. Filling in the fullback spots is incredibly similar. Bringing the Rangers teammates of Malik Tillman and James Sands, a needed backup to Adams in a defensive midfield role, should be on the plane to Qatar. It’d be a shock to not call in three — and only four men appear in contention for those spots. Tuesday’s scoreless draw against Saudi Arabia gave us one final look at the Yanks before heading to Qatar, but didn’t even come close to getting a needle-moving moment in a nearly empty stadium.

The final World Cup dress rehearsal for the U.S. men's national soccer team came Tuesday in an almost empty stadium against an unexceptional opponent.

All of those games were played within two weeks of the World Cup opener. MLS players are approaching the end of the regular season Oct. The energy level and speed of play grew. The 19-year-old had played the first 45 against Japan and figured to come off at halftime again. It was a clear sign Berhalter plans to start them in the World Cup opener. Featuring players from their domestic league only, the Green Falcons did not show much Friday either, playing to a 0-0 draw with Ecuador in Murcia. Tyler Adams’s 28-yard one-timer in the 24th minute steamed narrowly wide of the left post. In the 30th minute, Reyna departed. “And you saw some of the thinking out on the field today. Pulisic’s presence boosted the team’s capacity, but the chemistry and confidence were low. The same goes with Turner, who played all 90 minutes for the second consecutive match. 14, one week before the opener.

The USMNT performed tentatively in friendlies against Japan and Saudi Arabia. It won't come together again until November.

“This window is a learning lesson and get the last little jitters out, and hopefully whenever we get to the World Cup it will be how it used to be.” “Do I think they’re all going to be available for the start of the World Cup? The team said his departure was precautionary, but given Reyna’s history, Berhalter can’t be certain he’ll be available for the World Cup. The United States has gone scoreless in six of 12 matches this year. Instead, it exposed problems and cast doubt about whether Berhalter and the roster — which is expected to be the youngest in Qatar — is ready for their greatest test. team will fly in the World Cup. Japan will struggle to advance out of a group that includes Germany and Spain, and Saudi Arabia has almost no hope in a quartet featuring Argentina, Poland and Mexico. This year, the World Cup was moved to November-December from June-July because FIFA realized Qatar gets a tad warm in the summer. Most troubling was not the failure to win either match. Players will, in fact, fly to the World Cup.

The USMNT has no more games between now and November's World Cup, so after the latest international break, who do we like to go to Qatar 2022?

Based on how consistently they've been called in, both Yedlin and Cannon will probably be on the final roster, although Yedlin -- the only projected roster player with previous World Cup experience -- appears more likely to have a meaningful role. The biggest discrepancy comes in goals prevented (GP), which measures the difference between opposing teams' expected goals on target (xGOT) and the goalkeeper's goals allowed.

Uninspiring, deflating and disappointing. These are the adjectives in regular use to describe the final pre-World Cup window for the US men's national team.

Ferreira is probably the only lock from this group to make the roster and he’s not a lock to start. There isn’t a shortage of blame to go around, that reservoir is deep, but Charlie (as a former USMNT forward himself) was particularly disappointed by those on the pitch. They (particularly Richards) were the other options for that starting spot. It’s hard to overstate how deflating the last 180 minutes were for the USMNT. And given the relativity of how uninspiring the last two games were, that’s enough for Stock Up. [World Cup](https://www.mlssoccer.com/competitions/fifa-world-cup/2022/) window for the [US men’s national team](https://www.mlssoccer.com/clubs/us-men-s-national-team/). Zack Steffen hasn’t been good in the Championship with Middlesbrough and is just coming back from an injury. Weah offers a different dynamism than any of the wingers, for his directness and ability to be goal-dangerous and (trigger warning) vertical. Vazquez hasn’t been with the national team and Williamson was overlooked as an injury replacement, as Johnny Cardoso got the call. The attack generated zero goals and two shots on target in 180 minutes. Tim Ream was another name some hoped to see get recalled thanks to his form with Fulham in the Premier League. Hopefully he’s fit/fresh enough to play every minute for the USMNT at the World Cup.

He played a total of 37 minutes during the September camp and made little impact in both games. Initially, Bahebri won the ball, but Scally jostled with him, won the ball and played across into the box. In Qatar, it is Tillman will join Acosta and Luca de la Torre as backups for starters Adams, McKennie and Yunus Musah. Saudi Arabia's Haitham Asiri cut it out and forced Turner to save his left-footed strike from just outside the penalty box. Long had improved from his setback against Japan last Friday, but hasn't proved he can start for the U.S. He also introduced Gladbach's Joe Scally and Rangers midfielder Malik Tillman in the second half. Berhalter made four changes to the USMNT lineup against Tuesday, adding Pulisic — who returned from a minor injury last week in training — center forward Ricardo Pepi, midfielder Kellyn Acosta and right back DeAndre Yedlin. In the 70th minute against Saudi Arabia, McKenzie tried to play a long pass to midfielder Weston McKennie in the American defensive third. In this version of our USMNT stock report, we take a look at Long, McKenzie, Scally and Tillman.
