Former USA Coach Gregg Berhalter's 'Joy and Elation' For World Cup-Bound Son Sebastian

Gregg Berhalter surprised young keeper Chris Brady with his World Cup call — then got a FaceTime from his son Sebastian telling him he’d made the U.S. squad, a proud family moment.
Sebastian Berhalter went from zero senior caps a year ago to earning a spot on the 2026 roster after strong club and national-team form — a neat underdog-to-breakout story.
The Berhalter family will be at the U.S. opener in Los Angeles, with Gregg juggling Chicago Fire duties afterward and calling his son’s selection “his time.”
