- Booth: “Berhalter made some big calls in this World Cup. Not just with leaving Zack Steffen and Ricardo Pepi out of the team but also started [Josh] Sargent, Ream and Turner. All three are important parts of why the team is now in the round of 16 as well as Carter-Vickers, who surprised when he was included in the squad against Iran. While the work is not done, Berhalter’s plan was realized in this World Cup and he’ll have more calls to make if Pulisic and Sargent can’t go. “
