The 2026 World Cup draw has commenced and the United States battle Australia, Paraguay, and Turkiye in Group D.
Former Tottenham, PSG and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino will lead the USMNT in the 2026 World Cup in his second year as the United States' coach.
Pochettino's hiring marked the biggest in U.S. men's soccer history, as the Argentine is considered one of the top managers in world soccer having been at the helm at some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Poch has done a nice job preparing his squad for soccer's most prestigious tournament. He's leaned on young MLS players rather than the more talented Americans playing for European teams, but will likely have a blend of both on his squad this summer.
With Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie leading the way for the USMNT, check out how far the bookmakers expect the team to go in the tournament.
