Tim Ream, USA's World Cup Captain, Makes Major Decision About His Career

Tim Ream is retiring from the U.S. men’s national team after a 16‑year run — 86 caps and 26 matches as captain, including at this year’s World Cup.
He says the program is evolving with younger talent (including 17‑year‑old Cavan Sullivan) and calls the future “bright,” praising the newcomers’ confidence.
Ream will keep playing for MLS’ Charlotte FC but hasn’t decided on his long‑term club plans.
