US EditionThe sons have come out as Sebastian Berhalter, Jonathan Klinsmann vie for US World Cup roster
Sebastian Berhalter and Jonathan Klinsmann seek roster spots as the U.S. prepares to host the 2026 World Cup with a refreshed team following recent losses, coach Mauricio Pochettino said.
- Sebastian Berhalter and Jonathan Klinsmann are competing for U.S. roster spots for the 2026 World Cup the Americans will host; Sebastian started seven of the last eight matches, while Jonathan earned a callup after playing with Cesena and prior camp experience in 2018.
- The move coincides with the sons' family ties to Gregg Berhalter and Jurgen Klinsmann, former U.S. coaches, as they vie for World Cup roster spots.
- From academies to national camps, their development reflects early exposure to elite environments, with Sebastian Berhalter training in southern California, playing for Bayern's youth academy, and absorbing professional habits alongside Michael Bradley.
- Some players who sat out a recent loss are slated to get another chance Tuesday against Japan in Columbus, Ohio, while Gregg Berhalter, former U.S. coach, noted the likely unprecedented presence of two former national team coaches' sons in camp.
- Both players emphasize hard work and making an impression; Jonathan Klinsmann said, `Do whatever I can to make the best impression and see what comes next,` while Sebastian Berhalter aims to `easily assimilate and just be myself` in the U.S. team camp environment.
