Berhalter was a high school teammate of Claudio Reyna at Saint Benedict's Preparatory School in Newark, New Jersey
Berhalter enrolled in the University of North Carolina in 1991, where he was a teammate of Eddie Pope for two years.
Berhalter left UNC after his junior year, signing with Dutch club FC Zwolle in 1994. He later played for Sparta Rotterdam (1996-98), Cambuur Leeuwarden (1998-1999), Crystal Palace (2001-02) (alongside Jovan Kirovski), and Energie Cottbus (2002-2006) of the Bundesliga.
For the US national team, Berhalter earned his first cap on October 15, 1994 against Saudi Arabia. As of 2005, he has been capped 37 times. Berhalter played a significant role for the US at the 2002 World Cup, stepping in for the injured Jeff Agoos and starting the last two games.
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.
