Roldan Returns for USMNT World Cup
Description
Veteran Seattle Sounders midfielder Cristian Roldan is set to make his second World Cup appearance in 2026, becoming one of only two MLS players on the USMNT roster. After seeming to fade post-2022, his standout 2025 club season revived his international career, earning him 45 caps since September 2023. As the US prepares for a group stage featuring Paraguay, Australia, and Türkiye, Roldan’s resilience embodies the grit needed for the expanded 48-team tournament — the US’s 12th World Cup, second time hosting, and their best finish remains third in 1930.
