This roster proposal contains more than 23 players, and it also includes other players who should be considered or looked at in a USMNT camp. Part of the intention of this roster proposal, in addition to the long list of names of players to be considered at the end, is to emphasize the need to really gauge the overall talent level and depth of the pool.

Jürgen Klinsmann’s USMNT camps have frequently contained more than 23 players, and it’s very important for the United States Men’s National Team to really look at a wide variety of players, either in camp or through scouting, in order to see if there are any players who could possibly strengthen the overall skill-level and performance of the USMNT.

More so than an exact roster proposal for the upcoming friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina, this list below is more of a list of players that this writer believes can help to form a stronger USMNT going forward.
