Two Seattle Sounders FC players, forward Jordan Morris and midfielder Cristian Roldan, were named to the U.S. Men's National Team roster for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 on FOX. FOX13
"As an organization, we are incredibly happy for Jordan and Cristian. If any two guys earned it, it’s these two," said Sounders FC General Manager & President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey. "No players work harder or more honestly for their team, and I am so glad to see that effort rewarded with this opportunity. We are lucky to have them, as is Coach Berhalter."
"Congratulations to Nouhou for an incredible honor," said Sounders FC Head Coach Brian Schmetzer. "We’ve seen for years what he can do on the field, and I think everyone in the Sounders community is excited to see what he can do on the global stage."Sounders FC performance coach Megan Young inspires athletes, shares story of survival
With central defenders Miles Robinson and Chris Richards sidelined by injuries, the 35-year-old Ream returns to the national team for the first time since the opening round of qualifying in September 2021. Ream captains Fulham in England’s Premier League and has gone a full 90 minutes in 14 of 15 matches this season. Berhalter had dropped him from the final four qualifying windows, preferring more mobile options.
Nine players are from Major League Soccer; eight are with English clubs; two each are based in Germany, Italy and Spain; and one apiece plays in France, Scotland and Turkey. Playing time is an issue for many. Pulisic, the biggest U.S. star, has started just five matches for Chelsea this season. Outside back Sergiño Dest has made just two starts for AC Milan and hasn’t played at all since Oct. 30 due to an adductor injury. Midfielder Weston McKennie has been sidelined at Juventus since Oct. 29 by a thigh problem.
