da stake casino： The U.S. U23 team is loaded with potential senior team contributors, but first they head to Paris for the Olympic games
da bet7： The murky haze of the U.S. men's national team's Copa America failure is lingering over everything, and it'll feel that way for quite some time. Even so, there is some hope is on the horizon as the U.S. prepares for the Paris Olympics – and with it, what could be a small glimpse into the USMNT's future.
The Olympic squad is out, and it's one filled with potential future USMNT contributors. The U23 team is missing several established USMNT stars but that's OK – there are still plenty of talent heading to France this summer.
A quick look at the roster shows starlets all over the field who could someday step into a USMNT role. From talented goalkeepers to rising stars in the attack, the potential is there. And while this roster may not be loaded with players destined to be world-class, it is overflowing with players who could be difference-makers, either by 2026 or down the line.
With the Summer Olympics just two weeks away, GOAL takes a look at the U-23 stars that could someday become senior team stars.

He's long been heralded as the goalkeeper of the future for the USMNT, and that future may be coming fast.
The 20-year-old goalkeeper is fresh off his first season in Europe, having spent his most recent campaign on loan with Eupen. It's all part of a development process laid out for him by Chelsea, one that should prepare him to be among the best in the game.
At some point, Slonina will get his USMNT chance. Depending on Matt Turner's club situation going forward, that could be very soon.

Another goalkeeper, but one who is also very, very good.
Schulte already has a history of winning with the Columbus Crew. The 23-year-old has an MLS Cup to his name and has proven himself as a star goalkepeer in the league. The USMNT has taken notice, too, with Schulte earning the start during January camp.
The goalkeeper has been linked with some European moves as well – and if one of those comes to fruition, it's easy to see him rocketing up the depth chart by 2026.

Chelsea's signing him for a reason, clearly.
The Atlanta United starlet is set to join the Blues this summer, but will immediately be loaned to French side Strasbourg. A season in Ligue 1 will benefit the 19-year-old, who heads into the Olympics this summer as the second-youngest player in the squad.
A versatile left-sided player, Wiley could either establish himself as Antonee Robinson's backup or a Swiss Army Knife of a supersub that could make an impact by 2026.

He's starring alongside Messi on the club level, which is a smart way to get exposure for a potential European move.
Cremaschi is a silky-smooth midfielder, one that, at just 19, already makes a massive impact in the attack. He's the youngest player on this Olympic squad, too, which goes to show how much of a difference-maker he is already.
He's learning some pretty good life lessons from Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez at Inter Miami, which means he could take a massive leap forward by the World Cup.
