Group D

USA

FIFA rank #13

Hosting the tournament on home soil, the Americans are a young, athletic squad built around some genuinely exciting players who ply their trade in Europe's top leagues. They've been on an upswing after a rough patch that saw them miss the 2018 World Cup entirely, and with a passionate home crowd behind them, expectations are higher than they've been in years. The big thing to watch is whether star midfielder Gio Reyna and striker Folarin Balogun can deliver in the big moments, because this team has talent but still needs to prove it can handle the pressure when it really counts.
