Ranking USMNT strikers with Copa America looming: Josh Sargent surges as Haji Wright leads the way
CBSN
There are plenty of options at striker, but who is at the top of their game?
Rolling back the clock a year, it felt like there weren't enough in-form strikers for the United States men's national team as all hope was on if Folarin Balogun would declare to represent the red, white, and blue. But now as the team is preparing for a Copa America tournament that will test their limits, multiple strikers are in top form. It's a good problem for Gregg Berhalter to have when he is selecting his roster for the tournament.
Balogun may still be the starter for the national team but it's imperative that he receives ample competition to start atop the line which he has no shortage of. With top options in form, it's a good time to look at who is impressing or disappointing so far in 2024. There's still time for players to kick it into high gear but let's see how the striker pool looks at the moment, ranking players based on form in 2024.
