One year until the World Cup: is the USMNT anywhere near ready for the challenge?
Briefly

As the U.S. men's national team gears up to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, expectations are high for them to be well-prepared. However, the team has faced significant challenges over the last year, including an early exit from Copa América and a disappointing performance in the Concacaf Nations League. Following the dismissal of manager Gregg Berhalter, new coach Mauricio Pochettino has not been able to reverse the team's fortunes, leading to a four-game losing streak at home. As the World Cup approaches, doubts grow over the team's readiness.
As cohosts of the tournament, the match will present an immense opportunity to move the U.S. program forward on the world's biggest stage.
The USMNT is in the throes of a four-game losing streak, all of them at home. The last time the USMNT lost four consecutive games at home was 1988.
