#351: A draft of USMNT prospects and late-bloomers for 2026

Scuffed | U.S. soccer, World Cup, Yanks Abroad, futbol in America

Matt Hartman, Marcus Chairez, Alex Calabrese and Belz pick XIs of players who were not on the World Cup roster and have fewer than 5 caps. Some surprises. Some surprising omissions. We call it the Future Draft. Hopefully it introduces you to some names to keep track of over the next three years.
