    The process of bringing Cardoso into the U.S. system began with a call in September from U.S. national team manager Gregg Berhalter who Cardoso believes was tracking his progress at Inter through a scout. He received a message from Berhalter through WhatsApp and was soon surprised when he realized he was talking to the U.S. team’s manager.

    “He contacted me and first asked me how I was doing here at Inter,” Cardoso said of his call with Berhalter. “He then how many matches I had played already, how I was training and how I was performing in my matches. He then asked me if I had interest in representing the US national team. I said yes, without any doubt.”

    0-0 draw in the Campeonato Gaúcho.

    A disappointing result for Internacional against a third tier opponent but it was enough to advance to teh semifinals.

    Berhalter was asked, who is one player for the Nats that not many know about but will soon

    And his answer was Johnny

    And Berhalter was the one who "discovered" Johnny and first reached out to him to bring him into the U.S. setup.

    So Berhalter might be taking a bit of a victory lap. If Johnny is good, then Gregg deserves it. This was his find and "recruitment"

    Given injuries and squad rotation with Olympic qualifying, I wonder if this comment is a precursor for his call-up to MNT in March?
