The World Cup is almost here and while there are worries about how the United States will perform, the team still begins high expectations after making it to the round of 16 in both the 2010 and 2014 editions of the tournament prior to the disappointing absence from Russia in 2018. But despite struggling at times, this United States squad comes into the World Cup with a pretty good record in tournament play defeating Mexico to win both the Nations League and Gold Cup. The tune-up friendlies in September against Japan and Saudi Arabia weren’t pretty, but seven players who were in the squad against Saudi Arabia on September 27 won’t be in the squad when things kick off against Wales on November 21.
