What plans do the Americans have for the World Cup?

The American team is ready to give it all to qualify for the World Cup next year. Speaking about his experience while training with his team, he said, “There’s no Plan B for us. There’s only been a Plan A and that’s obviously to qualify for the World Cup.”

Elaborating more about the plan, the 22-year-old said, “When I think about the experiences we’ve had now, in the past two years, I would say as a group and how much we’ve developed, it’s ultimately for the moment right here.

“We’ve talked about this as a group how in the last cycle they didn’t win one game away from home. Going into this window right here right off the bat, we have two opportunities to win two games away. And that puts us obviously in a good position going into the next window. We’re looking for a nine-point week. Bottom line- if you don’t set the standard high then there’s going to be a lot of room for improvement. We want to set the standard and the bar high. We’re always looking to reach that goal.”
