Mauricio Pochettino has named his final United States squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the Americans welcome the world to a tournament hosted mostly on their soil.
Expectations will be sky high for the USMNT as they aim for a long run through the competition after a last-16 exit in 2022.
The 2026 World Cup, from June 11 to July 19, is an expanded format with 48 national teams now competing, originally divided into 12 groups.
The U.S. will face Paraguay, Australia and Turkey in Group D, starting Friday, June 12, against La Albirroja in Los Angeles.
