  WHAT HAPPENED?

  USMNT boss Gregg Berhalter on Friday finalized his roster for this summer's marquee tournament as the US look to compete in Copa America for the first time since 2016.

  The US manager will be looking to make a tournament run, as he looks to prove himself with one of the most talented rosters the USMNT has ever seen.

  The roster has not changed much from the June camp, minus one player being sent home.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Timothy Tillman exits the USMNT June camp as the roster sees completion, while Josh Sargent remains with the team. The Norwich City striker missed both preliminary friendlies in the buildup to the tournament due to injury, but with his inclusion, it's safe to say Berhalter expects him to play a role.

  Tillman, the LAFC midfielder, meanwhile, is the lone player from the June roster dropped from the Copa roster.
