Players are determined to accomplish whatever it takes to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, which is quickly approaching. The USMNT is one of the 32 nations that have advanced to the finals. Despite some turmoil, Gregg Berhalter’s team qualified for the World Cup and had a rather successful run.

Now that the USMNT only has four months to be ready for the World Cup, Berhalter needs to address two crucial issues. The USMNT has tried a number of players, but none of them have succeeded in cementing the roles of goalkeeper and striker.
Ethan Horvath of Nottingham Forest is one of such goalkeepers. The 27-year-old, however, struggled to find playing time as he only made six appearances in the English Championship. Now that Forrest has been promoted to the Premier League, Horvath has a fantastic opportunity to make his impact.

Sign for Nottingham Forrest Henderson, Dean
Dean Henderson, Manchester United’s number two, has recently been acquired by Forrest on a season-long loan. Henderson, one of the top goalies in the Premier League, will undoubtedly rank ahead of Horvath in Steve Cooper’s estimation.
The Englishman, who previously enjoyed a stellar stint on loan at Sheffield United, is currently attempting to demonstrate his form and regain his spot in the England squad before the World Cup. Horvath, who is 27 years old, might search for a new team because he will need to look for game time once more.

The USMNT’s Ethan Horvath and his performance
Although Horvath has been a part of the USMNT lineup for some time, he didn’t really break out until last year. In the second half of the CONCACAF Nations League final, he was inserted to take Zack Steffen’s position who was injured.

The USMNT held a one-goal lead because to two spectacular saves by Forrest, who that day appeared to be an enormous shot-stopper. Horvath completed the feat by saving a penalty in overtime, ensuring that his team won the game 3-2.
