TEAM OVERVIEW

After rising to #15 in FIFA rankings following their 2025 Gold Cup final run, the USMNT enters 2026 with unprecedented pressure and opportunity. Under Mauricio Pochettino's guidance, an anticipated golden generation faces their defining moment on home soil, seeking to surpass the 2002 quarterfinal breakthrough that remains their modern-era benchmark, and put memories of a failed Copa América campaign in the rear-view mirror.

Physical, Fast and Free


While Gregg Berhalter’s rigid positional play focused on limiting opponents’ scoring opportunities, Pochettino has sought to bring freedom and creativity to the fore. The team still prioritizes possession (currently 60.4%, highest of any USMNT manager) over speed and chaos, but in weaponizing their athleticism and physical intensity, the US is redefining their identity on the fly.

It's Soccer, Not Football


You know it’s going to be intense, but America’s soccer fandom is also a veritable mixing pot of influences and ideas. Just try to find another nation whose fans sing "God Bless America" between South American-style drum beats, favor tailgates to pub meet-ups, and wave scarves in 90-degree weather while chanting naval academy battle cries.

America's Dynamic Duo


Christian Pulisic is already the most accomplished export in American soccer history, but as team captain and defensive anchor, Tyler Adams is equally crucial to the USMNT’s hopes. As childhood friends from the U.S. Soccer residency program, they represent the core of America's golden generation and enter their prime years at the perfect moment.

A Golden Burden


This World Cup represents a make-or-break moment for American soccer's next chapter. With expectations higher than ever and their country looking on, their potential has led to unprecedented pressure. A quarterfinal run could cement soccer within America's sporting mainstream, while falling short risks wasting the sport's biggest moment in a generation.
