This summer, the U.S. men’s national team is on the hunt for a second trophy this summer, as the Concacaf Gold Cup is set to begin in July.

Preliminary rosters were released on Friday, and will be reduced to 23 players.

With several youthful players eligible, we’ve taken the liberty at TDS to put together a roster comprised mainly of the young players listed on the roster. It could definitely push Mexico for the crown (we think)!

To be clear, this isn’t a roster that we think Berhalter will pick. It’s one that squeezes in as many young players as possible.

Goalkeepers: Matthew Turner (New England Revolution), Bill Hamid (D.C. United), Tim Melia (Sporting KC)

There are minimal youth options here. David Ochoa isn’t on the roster, leaving the trio of Turner, Hamid and Melia – the latter by far the oldest on our mock roster.

Defenders: Aaron Herrera (Real Salt Lake), Jonathan Gomez (Louisville City FC), Miles Robinson (Atlanta United), James Sands (New York City FC), George Bello (Atlanta United), Justin Che (FC Dallas), Julian Araujo (LA Galaxy), Henry Kessler (New England Revolution)

Plenty of Olympic qualifying experience joins the roster, anchored by Kessler, Araujo and Herrera. The latter could be a starter at right back, in competition with Araujo. Robinson is the first name on the team sheet in central defense, likely to start alongside Kessler or Che.

It’s worth pointing out that Sands could anchor the midfield as a No. 6 or play in a three-man back line.

Midfielders: Eryk Williamson (Portland Timbers), Paxton Pomykal (Paxton Pomykal), Frankie Amaya (New York Red Bulls), Gianluca Busio (Sporting KC), Caden Clark (New York Red Bulls), Leon Flach (Philadelphia Union), Cole Bassett (Colorado Rapids)

Adopting Berhalter’s style of play, there is ample options for the three-man midfield. Sands could be used as a No. 6 here, along with Williamson or Flach. Busio’s earned minutes in that role for Sporting KC as well. In fact, several of the midfielders listed here could play in more advanced, press-centric roles, or deeper and help to dictate or breakup play. Pomykal, Clark and Busio could also flare out as wide players, offering more options along the forward line.

Forwards: Matthew Hoppe (Schalke), Rubio Rubin (Real Salt Lake), Mason Toye (CF Montreal), Cade Cowell (CF Montreal), Daryl Dike (Orlando City)

Speaking of the forward line, Toye and Dike make the cut as the central striking options (in this hypothetical scenario, his club situation is immaterial. Hoppe and Rubin could play through the middle or out wide as needed, with Cowell the sparkplug from the bench.
