Getting out of its group in Qatar promises to be tough for the USMNT.
Despite boasting a roster full of young and exciting talent, the team struggled in qualifying, winning just seven of its 14 matches, only narrowly beating Costa Rica to the third and final CONCACAF automatic qualification spot.
Results in the team's two most recent friendly matches have also been disappointing. First, Berhalter's side suffered a 2-0 loss to Japan, before it was then held to a goalless draw by Saudi Arabia.
Borussia Dortmund star Gio Reyna missed all but four of the USMNT's qualifying matches because of injury, but is now back and ready for the challenge in Qatar.
Speaking to Insider, he said he believes the team can be successful in the Middle East if it plays "without fear."
"It's going to be interesting," he said. "Maybe we lack a little bit of experience, but we can't really go in there with any fear.
"We just have to play our game and believe in each other and as a team. I think that that kind of recipe, with teamwork and no fear, can see us overcome any experience that we do lack."
