USMNT roster for November 2015 World Cup qualifiers
US Soccer released the roster for the November 2015 World Cup qualifiers. The USMNT plays St Vincent and the Grenadines to open World Cup qualifying on November 13 in St Louis (6:30pm ET – ESPN) and plays Trinidad & Tobago away on November 17.
“We’re all excited about starting World Cup qualifying toward Russia 2018,” USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “Every time you say the words ‘World Cup’ it means so much to everyone involved that it gets you pumped up and energetic. The players realize it’s going to be a long marathon toward Russia 2018, but we have to start it on the right foot. With St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago, they’re two nations that are not taken lightly. They are good teams. T&T proved it in the previous Gold Cup. With St. Vincent and the Grenadines, we have a team that is an unknown, but we watch their previous games and make ourselves familiar with their players. At the end of the day you still don’t really know what to expect, so it’s going to be very interesting.”
