Five USMNT predictions for 2024: Deep Copa America run, Gio Reyna delivers, Tyler Adams doesn't
CBSN
Here's what could be in store for the USMNT for the entire year
After 2023, which had plenty of highs and lows for the United States men's national team, 2024 is setting up to be quite the year. With the team taking part in the Olympics, Nations League and Copa America, it will begin to show where the USMNT stand ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Even hosting the Copa America will give American soccer a chance to put its best foot forward ahead of hosting the World Cup in two years, but results on the pitch will determine if Gregg Berhalter is still the coach of the team for a second World Cup cycle.
Building on a 2023 that saw Folarin Balogun commit to and debut for the USMNT, the team qualify for the Copa America and reach the Nations League semifinals, the USMNT will also want to fix some of the mistakes from 2023. Losing to Trinidad & Tobago while Sergino Dest got a red card was a low point, but a friendly loss to Germany makes you wonder what the USMNT's ceiling is. Looking forward to 2024, let's make some predictions for the year.
