FIFA #11 Group D CONCACAF USA

Background

The United States are co-hosts and the only CONCACAF nation to reach a World Cup semi-final, in the inaugural 1930 tournament in Uruguay. Mauricio Pochettino inherits a senior squad headlined by Pulisic, Reyna, McKennie, and Balogun, and home advantage in 2026 is the largest tactical asset the program has ever had.
