The U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT) is an underdog at this year's Men's World Cup in Qatar, yet they're an exciting group to cheer on. As coach Gregg Berhalter said in a statement, "We believe we have a talented group, a strong team spirit, and one that is ready to compete. We are extremely proud and honored to represent the United States and appreciate all the amazing support from our fans as we head to Qatar."
Here, as the USMNT gears up to take on Netherlands in the round of 16 in a must-win knockout game (they have to win to continue to advance), get to know the 26-man squad. They hail from just nine different states (and two foreign countries). There are five dads, one son of a current president, and the first ever player from Colorado to represent the U.S. at a Men's World Cup. All of them (except one) are on Instagram, and many play abroad in England, Germany, Italy, Spain, and elsewhere.
In alphabetical order, meet the 26 Americans who are playing for the U.S. right now in Qatar:
