All of a sudden, the U.S. men’s national team has some striker options.
In one week. three USMNT forwards combined for five goals: Josh Sargent, Haji Wright and Jordan Pefok.
Like any striker not named Jesús Ferreira, the trio is right on the roster bubble for the World Cup and, more immediately, on the roster bubble for September’s final two tune-ups.
It’s unlikely that all three will be on the plane to Qatar but if they keep up their current form, they will give Gregg Berhalter a desired and unexpected problem: too many in-form forwards to fit on one roster.
