What happened: Tom Bogert reports that the dual-national uncertainty around USMNT forward Julian Hall is close to being officially settled. Bogert adds that there was never a real basis to fear a one-time switch.

Why it matters: Hall has become a regular in Mauricio Pochettino's plans, and his rise with the national team has come as the USMNT opens the 2030 cycle. Pochettino said there was "no doubt" about keeping him on the 25-man Nations League quarterfinal roster.

What to watch: Watch for official confirmation of Hall's international status.
