The June international window offers an opportunity for the US Men's National Team. With two friendlies against fellow World Cup qualifiers Morocco and Uruguay, in addition to two CONCACAF Nations League tilts against Grenada and El Salvador, Gregg Berhalter's squad will be picked for a variety of reasons.

There are new questions to answer, such as the gap left at centerback in the wake of Miles Robinson's Achilles injury, plus the remaining lack of clarity at the number nine position. There are also dual nationals who may be brought in to experience what a window is like with the US, with Berhalter hoping to secure their long-term commitments.

The squad's final roster was unveiled on Friday afternoon, so here's a couple predictions for the USMNT ahead of the June international window.

1. Replacing Robinson on the backline

When Miles Robinson went down with a torn Achilles tendon on May 7th, hearts sunk all across the country, not just in Atlanta. Alongside Nashville's Walker Zimmerman, Robinson had formed one half of a very solid centerback pairing for the USMNT. With his injury, eyes naturally glance at other options. Let's take a look at who Gregg Berhalter tabbed for his squad at the position outside Zimmerman.

In the last window, Berhalter looked to Erik Palmer-Brown and Miles Long behind Zimmerman and Robinson, and Palmer-Brown impressed more than Long. They'd be the likeliest to step into a starting role for the first game against Morocco, but there are others as well. Mark McKenzie may be called back to the national team, he's got familiarity though he hasn't wowed anyone during his appearances.

Filling the void left by Robinson is a must, but fans shouldn't expect to see John Brooks return. Berhalter has commented publicly that he knows what he'll get out of Brooks, shutting the door on him here but potentially leaving it open for him to be part of the squad in Qatar come November.

Cameron Carter-Vickers is next in line, and USMNT fans have been clamoring for his addition to Berhalter's team for months. The 24-year old has had a very good season at Celtic, where he logged 46 appearances and over 4,000 minutes for the Glasgow giant. In that time he even proved his aerial capabilities while netting four goals, which would make him quite formidable on set pieces, similar to Zimmerman.

With four matches in the window, even if Carter-Vickers doesn't start against Morocco, he should have plenty of time to put his stamp on a ticket to Qatar if he can play well.

2. Finding a suitable striker

The one glaring weakness for the USMNT across the entirety of World Cup qualifying was the lack of a lethal striker. Several players were tried in the role, from Daryl Dike and Josh Sargent to Jordan Pefok and most recently Ricardo Pepi, who has struggled massively since making a January move to Bundesliga outfit FC Augsburg.

So where does that leave the USMNT going forward? Well, there are still options.

Currently, the most in-form strikers in the pool are Pefok and FC Dallas' Jesus Ferreira. In the Swiss top flight with Young Boys, Pefok lodged 27 goals and five assists across 45 appearances. Ferreira, meanwhile, has netted nine goals and assisted on two across 14 games early on in the MLS season.

They would be the likeliest to assume the mantle at the No. 9 spot for Berhalter, with Ferreira being an interesting option due to his ability to spread the field out with his athleticism, often freeing gaps for club teammates like fellow American international Paul Arriola and Alan Velasco to create chances on goal. Pefok is a more typical poacher style, but holds up play nicely as well.

Another player USMNT fans have been banging their fists over that is now finally with the national team is Antalyaspor's Haji Wright. In 31 appearances for the Turkish outfit, Wright netted 14 goals, which seems low, but he missed time in the middle of the season and it took him a while to get back into the starting lineup.

Wright offers a similar pace to Ferreira, but is bigger like Pefok, so he may just be the best of both worlds for Berhalter.

3. Enter Malik Tillman

On Thursday afternoon, Germany's under-21 manager confirmed what had been rumored all week in USMNT circles: Tillman was filing a one-time switch with FIFA to join the US instead.

Tillman was held in extremely high esteem in German youth circles, so this is a huge get for the USMNT. Playing mostly with Bayern Munich II, Tillman accrued four goals to match his four assists with the second team, but did manage to get on the field for 164 minutes across seven appearances with the first team at an extremely competitive attacking midfield spot under Julian Nagelsmann.

In fact, Tillman hasn't spent a second in US Camp since his time with the Under-16 team in 2016. At just 19 years old, Tillman is bound to have quite the career for the US, and will hope to move his first World Cup appearance up four years from what likely would've been a 2026 debut with Germany.
