The race to be No. 9: Which strikers will the USMNT take to the World Cup?

The USMNT is facing a tough decision in selecting its starting striker for the World Cup. With a history of limited productive strikers, several players are currently in exceptional form, making the decision a challenging one. Among the contenders are Jesus Ferreira, who has been a consistent performer for FC Dallas, and Jordan Pefok, who has been scoring goals for Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. Additionally, Haji Wright has emerged as a potential option, having found success with Antalyaspor in the Turkish league. The final decision will be crucial as the USMNT looks to make a strong showing at the World Cup. The coach will have to carefully weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each striker to determine the best fit for the team's tactics and strategy.
