On 25 May 2006 Berhalter was added to the US national team's 23-man roster for the 2006 World Cup, replacing the injured Cory Gibbs. Berhalter expressed confidence in the ability of the USA team in the run up to the tournament,^[1] but was an unused substitute in all three group games. The USA was eliminated after finishing at the bottom of Group D in the first round with one draw and two defeats.
