Jun 19, 2024; Montreal, Quebec, CAN; New York Red Bulls defender John Tolkin prepares for a throw-in during the second half against CF Montreal at Stade Saputo. Mandatory Credit: Eric Bolte-USA TODAY SportsThe gravity of being selected to the United States men’s soccer team for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris did not fully hit John Tolkin until he hung up the phone with head coach Marko Mitrovic, who had just told him he made the squad, and called his mother.
With the Red Bulls, Tolkin is an invaluable left-back and already an established leader on a roster that boasts international stars like Emil Forsberg and Lewis Morgan. He is a resolute defender, an imposing talent from the free-kick spot, and a visionary playmaker. His 15 assists already rank second in Red Bulls history by a defender.
“He’s a legend of the game and for him to be the coach and the quality on the French side as well, it’s a massive challenge,” Tolkin said. “But it’s also a challenge that we’ve all been preparing for.” In just two years, the United States will host and compete in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. While Tolkin already broke into the senior side last year , establishing himself on the Mitrovic’s roster and a strong showing in Paris will continue to build an already appealing resume for the US Soccer Federation as they move toward a new era following the sacking of Gregg Berhalter.
