At least there's some type of substitute for the World Cup this summer.
The Concacaf U20 Tournament for players born in 2003 or after is in June. The top 4 go to the 2023 U20 World Cup and the top 2 go to the 2024 Olympics.
I realize that the pandemic has changed the calendar a ton but I wonder how much say the US had in getting this tournament changed to the summer when they can call in their best players. That said, its possible the US end up facing Honduras in Honduras for a spot in the Olympics and they'd probably be the underdog down there despite the talent they can bring in.
Potential players
Ricardo Pepi
Caden Clark (Leipzig on loan to RBNY)
Justin Che (Bayern on loan to Hoffenheim)
Kevin Parades (Wolfsburg)
Unfortunately, Reyna and Musah were born in November 2002 and Busio in May 2022. But they and 2001 birth years are eligible for the Olympics if they miraculously qualify.
