YOUNG AMERICANS
The USMNT was by far the youngest team to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, garnering valuable experience going through the rigors of World Cup qualifying. Through 14 qualifiers, the USA Starting XI came in at an average of 23.82, almost two years younger than the next closest team, Ghana at 25.67. Together, the other 31 participating teams averaged a Starting XI age of 27.5 through qualifying, nearly four full years older than the U.S. Sources say this is one of the youngest, but most talented teams the U.S. has ever fielded. While they may not win the world cup this year, they may garner the experience needed to make a serious run on home soil in the year 2026 when the World Cup comes back to North America.

FIFA allows players to choose which national team they play for based on where they were born, where their parents/grand parents are from, and if they have been in a country for 5+ years (presumably playing for youth teams and training in that country and possibly even having citizenship by now).
So if the question is why is X player allowed to play for Y team?... that is your answer. Pretty simple, direct, and not confusing.
Olympians are also allowed to represent a country they weren't born in. The athlete just has to have citizenship for the country they choose to represent and they can freely choose every Olympics, like the Canadian bobsledder who chose to represent the USA this last winter Olympics after she got her citizenship and there was some kind of sexual harassment issue with the Canadian team.

Missing that penalty hurt but Buchanan needs to do better on his chances , should have potential Loy had another one as well it playing high press you always risk a counter .

Canada should have had at least one more penalty called for them as well.
Did Canada have two other potential penalties robbed from them? The TSN panel discusses. pic.twitter.com/9LVFllouga
Canada hasn’t shown they can finish but dam! They sure have shown they can compete against the #2 team in the world! Mettle and heart. And Alphonso Davies is clearly hurt [Reply]
I blame Drake for the missed PK. So far Belgium is my favorite, i am sure they gonna be in a final this year. https://www.firesticktricks.com/watc...firestick.html - great source for ideas where to stream world cup the best from any country in the world. I am with the Sling TV at the moment. Does anyone know a better option? [Reply]
