Wade Barrett, Chris Klein, Daniel Hernandez, Leo Cullen, Eric Quill, Clint Mathis and Adin Brown never played in a Youth World Cup either.

Most of them did play in U-20 or U-23 qualifiers, but either their team didn't qualify for the World Cup or didn't make make the final roster.

Either they updated the article or jmeissen0 mis-quoted it. Here is an accurate quote:

U.S. National Team press officer Michael Kammarman reports that everyone on the roster except three players -- Jeff Cunningham, Eddie Robinson and Ryan Suarez -- have played on a youth national team. Twelve of those have played in either a youth World Cup or the Olympics.

I'm guessing that the exact wording (to cover Pablo and Clint?) should be: all but three have played either on a youth national team or in the World Cup.
