The U.S. men’s national team eagerly awaits the Dec. 5, 2026 World Cup group stage draw to learn its fate for next summer. Although there’s a wide array of possibilities, the draw could set up an absolute nightmare scenario for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
The USMNT finished its 2025 action with a majestic display in a 5–1 victory against Uruguay. The result followed a strong run of five straight unbeaten games to close the year. Since the October international action, Pochettino unlocked the best his side has to offer whilst still missing some key players that will surely contribute in next summer’s World Cup.
