For the first time since 2008, the U.S. men's team will be participating in the tournament. Stars like Christian Pulisic No one will be in attendance. Marko Mitrovic's U.S. Under-23 team will be in the tournament, as will Messi's squad. Flexibility is key with an 18-man roster, but substitutes are available in case of injuries.
