Who are the current USMNT captains and who have been some iconic names to captain the USMNT side?
The USMNT has been one of the most improved national teams in the footballing world. A country not known for achieving iconic laurels in football or soccer, as it is called in their country, USA has finally accumulated a side that can challenge some of the biggest European sharks in world football.
Gregg Berhalter's men left a long-standing impact in the previous year's World Cup contested in Qatar and with the staggering tournament being hosted by the USA in 2026, the 'Golden Generation' can be the dark horses heading into the tournament.
Players like Weston Mckennie, Christian Pulisic, Timothy Weah, and Tyler Adams have brought a new sense of hope and excitement to the hearts of USMNT's faithful who were waiting to see a generation of soccer stars in their country.
While the American players have established their footing in leagues all across Europe be it Pulisic playing in the Serie A, Bundesliga, and the Premier League or Sergino Dest playing in the Eredivisie and La Liga, this generation of American football has the power and potential to leave a long-lasting impact on future generations and become the heroes that pave the way for a scintillating factory of football coming through the ranks.
While the team is full of stars who can turn the tide with individual brilliance, Gregg Berhalter has relied on some specific players to lead the country and keep the team hinged together through the ups and downs. Tyler Adams was appointed the country's captain in 2022 before the FIFA World Cup in Qatar and when the midfielder has been sidelined Christian Pulisic and Matt Turner have deputised for Adams.
