Monday’s friendly against Panama in Austria might not be United’s last game of the year. s. Men’s national team. On Sunday, yo. s. National team coach Greg Berhalter said the team was trying to arrange a match for December. He said « I hope that will be done. ». If another game were to be played, it would be outside the FIFA window, so the United States would likely be without all or most of its foreign players. The MLS season will end with the MLS Cup in December. 12 The CONCACAF Champions League will end in 10 days. « [The Panama match] will definitely be the last time this group meets together this year, » Berhalter said.. Three CONCACAF competitors – Mexico, Guatemala and Nicaragua – played friendly matches earlier this fall outside FIFA windows.. Berhalter stressed the importance of matches such as Friday’s match against Wales and the Panama match, given the limited opportunities available to him to work with his players residing abroad.. . He said he can only count on their presence in four matches in 2021 before the 2022 World Cup qualifiers start in September – two friendlies in March and the CONCACAF Nations League Finals in June. . He said it was « doubtful » that foreign players would be in the 2021 Gold Cup in July. Berhalter said that integrating so many young players – 10 players called up, none older than 20 – presents challenges.. He said, « I’ve noticed one thing, especially when you’re working with new players or a group in the making, you’re going through different stages of team development. ». “With this group in particular, more people are looking for their place within the team. What happens now is completely normal. A man who wants to come to the camp, wants to make a good impression on the coaching staff, and wants to play well, and focus more on himself. The more comfortable he becomes, the more he focuses on his teammates. We definitely want to get to this stage by qualifying. Because that would be really important. Berhalter would like to see a better performance after the 0-0 draw with Wales on Friday when the USA dominated the ball but created a few chances.. . Perhalter said: « When you shoot one ball at the goal in a match, that is not enough. ». “So there is much room for improvement at the end of the attack. We focus on competing to win the match and we want to score goals. “We want to end this experience with the group on a high note.  »
