The USMNT has a goalkeeper problem for the 2026 World Cup

With 100 days remaining until the 2026 World Cup begins, ESPN analyst Jeff Carlisle highlights that the USMNT's goalkeeper position, historically a strength, has become a notable weakness heading into the tournament. The concern is significant enough that analyst Herculez Gomez has already been picking his preferred USMNT starting XI for the World Cup opener against Paraguay. The United States is set to host the 2026 World Cup, making the goalkeeping situation a particularly pressing issue for the home nation.
