To reach the tournament finals, standout performances and exceptional players are crucial. Here are my top five players for the US team in this year’s Gold Cup.

As I reviewed the tournaments in my rankings, I noticed players climbing based on their enhanced performance.

I chose Diego Luna as my top pick. When fans come to see stars, Luna represents the brilliance that this US team has showcased for years.

Malik Tillman and Diego Luna both shine as true stars for the US men’s national team.

Chris Richards had an outstanding tournament. I believe he will be a key starter in the World Cup next summer, barring any unforeseen events.

He played in every match, and we understand that the US team needs a reliable striker. His performance certainly places him in talks for future camps.

We recognize his skills on set pieces, which will remain vital, alongside the consistency that keeps him in discussions.
