5 most surprising exclusions from USMNT November roster

Writer Bryan Zarpentine highlights the five most surprising omissions from manager Mauricio Pochettino's USMNT squad for the November Nations League matches against Haiti. The excluded group includes Marseille captain Tim Weah, Borussia Mönchengladbach right-back Joe Scally, and Middlesbrough midfielder Aiden Morris, along with Stoke City's Jack McGlynn and Max Arfsten.

Zarpentine argues that Pochettino opted for younger talent and uncapped options over experienced or in-form players. The article questions decisions such as selecting Bryan Reynolds over Weah and Scally, leaving out the in-form McGlynn and Morris, and preferring Reed Baker-Whiting over Arfsten at left-back for competitive matches.
