- Sebastian Berhalter made the USA’s 26-man 2026 World Cup roster, joining his dad Gregg to become the second U.S. father‑son World Cup duo (after Gio and Claudio Reyna).
- Gregg’s firing and Mauricio Pochettino’s hiring are widely seen as clearing the path for Sebastian, sparking debate—pundits insist he earned his spot and point out strong MLS representation (8 current MLS players on the roster).
- The 2026 World Cup runs June 11–July 19; the U.S. opens vs Paraguay on June 12 (streams free on Tubi) and the final will be at the New York/New Jersey stadium.
