Having moved to Germany as a teenager and racked up more than 160 appearances in one of Europe&#8217;s top five leagues, Scally brings hard-earned experience to a home World Cup.<\/p>\n\n<h2>A Bundesliga education<\/h2>\n<p>Scally left the New York City academy for Borussia M&ouml;nchengladbach as a teenager and grew into a first-team regular in the Bundesliga, a rare American to establish himself so young in one of Europe&#8217;s biggest leagues. Versatile enough to play either flank, he has been a fixture in the Gladbach defense for years. His club record in our database is below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Club<\/th><th>Apps<\/th><th>Tackles won<\/th><th>Interceptions<\/th><th>Clearances<\/th><th>Aerial duels won<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Borussia M&ouml;nchengladbach (Bundesliga)<\/strong><\/td><td>167<\/td><td>140<\/td><td>81<\/td><td>324<\/td><td>115<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n<h2>What the numbers say<\/h2>\n<p>Scally&#8217;s Gladbach record is that of a busy, dependable full-back: 167 appearances, 140 tackles won, 81 interceptions and 324 clearances, with 115 aerial duels won for a right-back. Across nearly 12,000 Bundesliga minutes he has shown the consistency and one-on-one defending that top-flight football demands, the profile of a full-back you can trust to do the basics well week in, week out.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Joe Scally and the USMNT<\/h2>\n<p>For the United States, Scally is experienced cover and competition at right-back, an option alongside <a href=\"\/us\/news\/sergino-dest\/\">Sergi&ntilde;o Dest<\/a> and <a href=\"\/us\/news\/alex-freeman\/\">Alex Freeman<\/a>. His Bundesliga grounding and ability to fill in on either side give Pochettino flexibility in the full-back areas.

In the Bundesliga he has chipped in 9 assists and 4 goals for Gladbach, beating his expected assists figure of 6.3, while creating 13 big chances and 76 key passes overall. He has also pumped 280 passes into the penalty area and logged 137 touches inside the opposition box, evidence of a fullback who genuinely contributes going forward, not just a defensive specialist.<\/p>\n<p>The defending holds up in the rates too. He has won 140 of 211 attempted tackles, a success rate around 66 percent, across nearly 12,000 top-flight minutes. That combination of reliability and end product is exactly the profile a tournament squad values in its fullback depth.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-sca1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who is Joe Scally?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Joe Scally is an American right-back for Borussia Moenchengladbach in the Bundesliga and a member of the USMNT squad.
