Why are they always referred to as “the US Men’s National Team?”

It’s really long and clumsy. I’ve found that’s it’s pretty constant, in lots of different contexts - not just American media, but I’ve also heard in UK coverage. Other teams are almost always just the country name, or occasionally a nickname (“Azzurri”, “Super Eagles”, “El Tri”, etc.)

I get that “Yanks” and “Stars and Stripes” haven’t caught on. But why not “USA” or “The US” or something?

(And FWIW, I always thought our warmups and coach jackets that just had “STATES” on it were cool…)
