Sergino Dest has questioned the decision to host the in the United States. The US will host the tournament for the second time this summer having also held the Copa America Centanario back in 2016. Traditionally hosted by one of the South American nations, USMNT international Dest believes CONMEBOL’s flagship competition should stay where it began. “I would love to have had it in South America,” he told .
” The USMNT head into the tournament with designs on going far on home soil, just as they will do when they host the World Cup in 2026. “We are a young team, and when we went to the 2022 World Cup we were on an upward curve but we also had some setbacks,” says Dest, who started all four of his country’s games in Qatar, and assisted Christian Pulisic’s goal in the 1-0 win over Iran. “The line isn’t always rising though, it can go down. We need to get back to our shape now, get back together.
