United States, the co-hosts of World Cup 2026, has already qualified for the knock out round with a dominant 2-0 win against Australia.
USMNT appeared in great form as they won their first two games of the tournament, with their most recent victory against Australia in Miami on Friday. With one game still in hand, the hosts have qualified for the next round.
The first goal was an own goal by the Australian team while the second was scored by Alex Freeman with a decent header, placing the ball in net.
Fans and football pundits have already started speculating about the potential World Cup winner and they have place the U.S. among the top contenders. Fans stated the U.S. can win the Cup since they have home, in addition to a strong team. The U.S. has never won a FIFA World Cup. The last first time winners of the tournament was in 2010 when Spain lifted trophy for the first time.
If USMNT continues with their great form under Pochettino they might be able to take on heavyweights like Spain, France and England.
