Will Seattle Sounders FC midfielder Cristian Roldan be suiting up for the US men's national team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup?
He's right in the mix for a roster spot, according to MLS Season Pass analyst Sacha Kljestan, who listed Roldan third in his latest USMNT midfield rankings.
"I feel like Cristian Roldan has really solidified himself within this group," Kljestan said. "Because the way he's come in the last couple of camps and shown, and the way [Mauricio] Pochettino has spoken about him too: That he's a leader, he understands the group, he understands what the team needs at any given moment.
"And then the way he's played this season, I think his confidence is sky-high right now."
