Cristian Roldan

Cristian Roldan has spent his entire professional career at Seattle Sounders, becoming one of MLS's most decorated players with multiple Cup winners' medals and a CONCACAF Champions League title. A tireless, combative central midfielder, he excels at pressing, winning second balls, and providing the unglamorous defensive cover that allows more creative teammates to function. For the USMNT he has long been a reliable squad option rather than an automatic starter, his ceiling limited by the fact that his game is built on industry over technical distinction. At 31, he brings tournament experience and professionalism that younger players in the pool are still developing.
