Defender DeAndre Yedlin is the only returning member from the last World Cup team. This team is one of the younger teams the US has sent out for the biggest soccer tournament in the world.
Notable surprises include Antalyaspor forward Haji Wright at the expense of Groningen FC striker Ricardo Pepi was something of a surprise.
Another surprise was centerback Tim Ream from Fulham. Ream has only played in one World Cup qualifier match which was against El Salvador. Injuries to a couple of center backs for the US team pretty much made a path for Ream to make the team.
The USMNT will face off against Wales in their first group game on Nov. 21. After that, the US will face off against England then Iran.
