What happened: Sebastian Berhalter featured for the United States during its 2026 World Cup run. He saw action in the 2-0 group-stage win over Australia and remained in the squad for the Round of 16 against Belgium.

Why it matters: His continued involvement gives the United States another midfield option with tournament minutes. That experience shapes depth charts as the pool shifts back to club performance and the next national team window.

What to watch: Watch his club minutes for form carrying into the next USMNT selection.
