Clint Dempsey on growing soccer in the USA FIFA 2026 Chances

FIFA 2026: When comparing the roster at any level to other top countries around the world since the 2022 World Cup, it’s fair to question if the U.S. has done enough to support its current core. Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Antonee Robinson, Yunus Musah, Chris Richards, and Tyler Adams are among the key personnel who have established themselves in Europe’s top leagues since the round of 16 exit in Qatar.

Since the U.S. Men’s National Team, USMNT, made its exit in the Round of 16 during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, there has been growing concern about whether enough has been done to build on the current core of talent. Key players like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Antonee Robinson, Yunus Musah, Chris Richards, and Tyler Adams have secured spots in top European leagues, establishing themselves as leaders for the USMNT.

The question now is how the U.S. can change that, especially within its domestic scene. One of the ways is through better platforms and opportunities for emerging talent. Clint Dempsey, a former USMNT star, is doing just that by partnering with Spanish football giant Real Madrid and healthcare company Abbott. Their collaboration has led to the launch of the Abbott Dream Team program, a unique initiative to uncover the next generation of football talent in the U.S.

FIFA World Cup: Dream Team Tryouts Dempsey Seeks Versatile Talent

The Abbott Dream Team is hosting tryouts across five major cities in the U.S., Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Chicago, and Los Angeles, where young male and female players, ages 18-19, will have the chance to showcase their skills to Real Madrid’s coaches. The ultimate goal is to select 11 players to travel to Spain and train at Real Madrid’s renowned Ciudad Real Madrid training center.

Stay true to yourself, Dempsey advised NBCUniversal Local. The reason why you love the game should be showcased. He stressed the importance of confidence and resilience, even in the face of failure. You might hear ‘You aren’t good enough,’ but the key is to learn from setbacks instead of seeing them as losses. Even if you are good enough to make it, are you still hungry to take your game to another level?

As football continues to evolve tactically, with new player profiles like inverted fullbacks, false nines, and ball-playing goalkeepers becoming more common, Dempsey is specifically looking for complete players. These are players who can use both feet, take on defenders in 1v1 situations, and contribute effectively on both ends of the pitch. He believes versatility is crucial, as a well-rounded player can fill multiple roles on the field.

Dempsey Calls for Creativity, Competition, and Growth Ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026

Play the position you love the most, Dempsey explained. If you’re a complete player, people can tell right away. However, Dempsey also underscored the importance of creativity, drawing from his own experience as a player. I want to see creative players, the ones who can take on defenders and create opportunities for themselves and others.

In terms of USMNT’s prospects for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Dempsey noted that players like Patrick Agyemang, Diego Luna, Malik Tillman, Brendan Aaronson, and Haji Wright have all improved their stocks under Pochettino’s reign. The big question is whether the U.S. will have enough depth and talent to challenge the likes of Spain, Portugal, and Argentina, who have made significant strides in player development since 2022.

Rising Giants USA Faces Tough Road to Football World Cup 2026

These countries are emerging as strong contenders for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Spain, in particular, already showing the impact of its up-and-coming stars. The 2024 UEFA European Championship winners have seen the rise of young wingers like Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, alongside promising defenders such as Pau Cubarsi and Alejandro Balde.

Portugal, which claimed the 2025 UEFA Nations League, still boasts the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be 41 by the time of the 2026 tournament. However, there are rising stars in the Portuguese squad, including midfielders Vitinha and João Neves, who bring a blend of youth and experience, having already tasted success in the Champions League.

For the USMNT, the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup promises to be filled with challenges. While the U.S. managed to make it out of its group in Qatar, the 3-1 loss to the Netherlands in the Round of 16 showed that they still have a long way to go before they can compete with the world’s top teams.

Dempsey Home-Field Advantage Key for USA in World Cup

Dempsey believes that hosting the World Cup on U.S. soil will provide a unique advantage, serving as a 12th man to fuel the team’s confidence and energy. He likened the situation to the U.S.’s performance in the 1994 World Cup, where the team shocked the world with unexpected performances.

If that 1994 team could make an impact, there’s no reason why this team, fully fit and confident, couldn’t do something special, Dempsey said. The clock is ticking, and with the 2026 FIFA World Cup just around the corner, the U.S. has a golden opportunity to capitalize on its home-field advantage.

But in order to make a deep run, the USMNT will need to continue to develop top-tier talent both domestically and abroad, ensuring that the next generation of players is ready to compete with the best on the world stage. Dempsey, who knows a thing or two about what it takes to succeed at the highest level, has been providing valuable tips to aspiring players on how to stand out.

USMNT: Dest left off Gold Cup roster

The U.S. men’s national team roster for the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup has been revealed.  Left back John Tolkin has replaced Sergino Dest on the 26-player roster, while Walker Zimmerman, Chris Brady, Paxten Aaronson, and Nate Harriel will all stay after previously being added as injury replacements.  Zack Steffen, Patrick Schulte, DeJuan Jones, Folarin Balogun, and Sean Zawadzki have all…

[stillunusual]

Leeds United: Meslier, Bogle (Byram 90), Firpo, Struijk, Rodon, James, Piroe, Aaronson (Joseph 58), Solomon (Gnonto 83), Tanaka, Gruev (Rothwell 58).

Subs not used: Darlow, Ramazani, Guilavogui, Schmidt, Debayo. This was a classic game of two halves, in which our promotion rivals managed to get themselves in front, but ended up getting spanked in their cup final….

Daniel Farke had to make one change to his starting line up, because Ethan Ampadu has picked up another knee injury.

I imagine that Chris Wilder's pre-match team talk included instructions to pump lots of high balls into the Leeds box, because this is what Sheffield United did at every opportunity for the first 20 minutes of the game and it really paid off for them.

Two early set piece crosses were both fumbled by Illan Meslier - the second requiring an amazing goal line clearance from Ilia Gruev. A few minutes later Meslier managed to tip Callum O'Hare's header onto the underside of the crossbar, but the ball rebounded to Tyrese Campbell who headed it onto the post, from where it was somehow diverted over the line by another fumble from Meslier….

Two minutes later Meslier fumbled yet again and we almost conceded a second.

It took Leeds a while to get a foothold in the game. We did manage to create one or two chances of our own before the break, but it was a very poor first half.

Meslier redeemed himself early in the second half, when he raced to the edge of the box to smother the ball just ahead of Tyrese Campbell, who was clean through. After that he was totally solid….

Once again, Daniel Farke was more creative than usual with his substitutions, replacing Brenden Aaronson and Ilia Gruev with Joe Rothwell and Mateo Joseph with less than an hour gone.

A few minutes later, Joseph missed a massive chance after the ball broke kindly to him following a Leeds corner, but the momentum was now with Leeds, and that miss ceased to matter when Dan James broke down the right and sent in a perfectly weighted ball for Junior Firpo to head home our equaliser.

Farke then replaced Manor Solomon with Willy Gnonto, who almost scored with a shot that was tipped over the bar by Michael Cooper. Rothwell's corner was flicked towards the far post by Firpo, where Ao Tanaka was waiting to guide the ball into the net and give Leeds the lead with only a minute of normal time remaining.

After some incredible scenes of celebration, Joel Piroe sealed the points with an absolute thunderbastard of a strike shortly after the restart.

There's only one team in Yorkshire….

The USMNT: Behind the Crest

[little-red-devil]

Just a bunch of guys being dudes 🫶🏼

[julio-viernes]

Letra gótica para Dust, el heavy metal trío de Kenny Aaronson y Marc Bell (Ramone). Fueron una de las primeras bandas del heavy en Estados Unidos y publicaron dos LPs bastante buenos para Kama Sutra con impactantes portadas (la del segundo es casi un previo a las de Meat Loaf) que sin duda merecieron mejor suerte. "Often Shadows Felt" es uno de los cortes más sugestivos y psicodélicos de su primer álbum, que compré allá por los 80 en La Gramola de la calle Montera.  

Después Bell estuvo en Estus, Wayne County´s Backstreet Boys, Voidoids y Ramones. La lista de gente con la que tocó o grabó Aaronson es inacabable, por citar unos cuantos Stories, Rick Derringer, Joan Jett, Hall & Oates y Blue Öyster Cult. Tocó con Bob Dylan en 1988, audicionó para entrar en Rolling Stones en 1994. Imparable, ubicuo... Le concedemos el increíble y dificilísimo título de “Chris Spedding norteamericano”.

Following an injury, forward Folarin Balogun is back for the first time since September 2024. A dual national of England and the United States, his first goal for the U.S. came in the 2-0 win against Canada in the final of the 2023 Concacaf Nations League.

He’s made the most of the opportunity, already collecting three goals in four matches.

After thoughtful discussions and careful consideration, we made the collective choice that this is the right moment for him to get the rest he needs. The objective is to ensure he’s fully set to perform at the highest level next season, U.S. Soccer Sporting Director Matt Crocker said.

Vanity Fair: Succession Will Feature More Tall Men in Season Three

The vertically blessed Alexander Skarsgård and Adrien Brody join a cast populated with towering actors like Matthew Macfadyen and Nicholas Braun.

BY CHRIS MURPHY, MAY 5, 2021

Succession season three has a theme, and that theme is height. Variety announced this week that the Emmy-winning HBO drama has added exceedingly tall Emmy winner Alexander Skarsgård and Oscar winner Adrien Brody to its ranks for season three, as the battle to run Waystar Royco continues. Skarsgård will play Lukas Matsson, an accomplished yet confrontational tech founder and CEO, while Brody will guest star as Josh Aaronson, a billionaire activist-investor who becomes crucial in the battle for ownership of the drama’s fictional family conglomerate.

Even before the additions of the six-foot-four Skarsgård and the six-foot-one Brody, Succession was already populated with famous talls. While Matthew Macfadyen’s hapless Tom can often be found playing “Boar on the Floor,” the actor actually stands at six foot three. Nicholas Braun’s incredibly awkward Cousin Greg clocks in at a truly whopping six foot seven—as does his fictional grandfather Ewan Roy, played by the equally towering James Cromwell.

Succession also features Emmy winner Jeremy Strong, Brian Cox, and Sarah Snook, great actors who are not quite as tall, as well as Kieran Culkin, whose five-foot-six frame will continue representing short kings on the Succession set. Incredible potential for height-related gags aside, we understand all those who are hoping production will get Culkin an apple box to stand on during filming. Or, as one Twitter user put it:

All I can think about is if Josh heard Chris talk to roman like that 💀😭. On site, my man. But like, in a Josh way. In a “ooohhhh ur going to be so blacklisted in LA that even wholefoods isn’t accepting your credit card” way.

Chris has no idea who Josh is or what he's capable of, and absolutely no shame about what he's doing to Roman, so he's gonna slip up. And Josh Aaronson does not fuck around.
