Shaka Hislop discusses whether the USMNT have an advantage against Bolivia as hosts ahead of their Copa America clash. "From my understanding, everyone will be available to play some role," Berhalter told reporters at AT&T Stadium on Saturday."I can't go into specifics about length of time for Josh, but I know he's available to play a role."
Sargent last played for his club, Norwich City, on May 16, when he sustained a foot injury. He did not feature in either the USMNT's June friendlies ahead of Copa América but was named to the final roster for the tournament.told reporters on Saturday."You wouldn't have known that he hadn't played many games this season.
"We'll be presented with different challenges in this tournament, sometimes a different brand of soccer, and for us it's about how we adapt to that," Berhalter said."I think when you look at the top teams in the world, that's what they are the best at doing, is adapting., they can play on the offense, they can play on defense; whatever they need to do to be successful is what they do. And I think that's still something that we're developing.
"One thing I know for sure that our most success is going to come from being able to limit our opponents' high-scoring goal-scoring opportunities. If we can do that in each game, we'll have a chance, because we always create enough chances to score a goal."
