Prediction for tomorrow: usa 2 vs australia 2 #USMNT #WorldCup26

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

67K inside Mercedes Benz Stadium. Great experience. Czechia 1-1 with South Africa

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

Prediction for today: #USMNT 3, Paraguay 2

USA is vulnerable in the back.

Pulisic, Flo, McKenie are going to show what kind of firepower this bunch has. Don't sleep on the craftiness from Tillman.

#FifaWorldCup

From May 23, when the roster was announced my first XI for today was off by three players.

[U.S. Soccer Men's National Team @USMNT]

Your XI for Match #1 at the @FIFAWorldCup.

#USMNT x The @HomeDepot

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

Underwhelming El Tri 🇲🇽 opener. #FIFAWORLD26

Still think its cieling is Round of 16.

Shame that this is maybe the worst Mexican side since turn of the millenium.

[Men in Blazers @MenInBlazers]

Just Lamine Yamal in a Georgia Walmart 🤯

The World Cup keeps throwing up wild and wonderful crossovers 🇺🇸

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

Tonight is the final evening without a World Cup game taking place before 27 consecutive nights of it.

The calm before the storm.

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

Here in one week! Let’s go! #CzechvSouthAfrica

[USMNT Only @usmntonly]

Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta is 2026 World Cup ready 🇺🇸🔥

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

Anyone else ready for a bangin' summer.

Jedi just used the force at Soldier Field from 22 yards out on this volley. And then backflipped in celebration.

ANTONEE ROBINSON WITH AN ABSOLUTE BANGER AGAINST GERMANY.

ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?!

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

His quality in the 2010 World Cup was supreme. No #USMNT right back can hold a candle to his sterling showing from WC I wintessed: 2002-22. #FIFAWorldCup

[Thomas 🇺🇸 @USKeeper]

Less than a week (6 days) remains until the #USMNT opens its #WorldCup campaign.

USMNT legend Steve Cherundolo, widely regarded as one of the greatest right backs in program history, represented the United States at three #FIFAWorldCup tournaments.

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

T-minus 6 days! #UMSNT

[Men in Blazers @MenInBlazers]

LOOK AT THIS SCENE 😱

Paraguay received an insane send-off at their final home game before the World Cup 🇵🇾

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

USA is last year's #Bears #NFL

Lots of holes on D. Will play from behind a lot.

Firepower, talent on offense to be in games. Will make noise but won't get to the Conference Championship/World Cup Semis.

Bears never had a Caleb. #USMNT never had a Christian.
#FIFAWorldCup

[brandon* @brndxix]

someone in nfl terms tell me how likely the USA is to win the world cup

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

Decent.

No Captain Ream for the opener? Don't want Ream but will start over Trusty.

Pepi and Tillman are in-form. Pepi had great combination play with Pulisic vs. Senegal. Gio isn't starting over him or Tillman.

It's a coin toss, but I have Freese in goal.

This potential USMNT XI at the 2026 World Cup 🇺🇸👀📈

[Uri Levy @Levyninho]

75 out of the 1,248 players who will play in the upcoming World Cup were born in France, but will represent other national teams.

Together with France’s own squad, that’s almost 100 players in the tournament who were born in France. That’s about 8% of all World Cup players. Insane.

There is no other country that produces more national team players in this tournament than France. Most of them, by the way, come from Paris and its suburbs.

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

Great research! ⌨️ Follow this journalist @SoccerInsider

[Steven Goff @SoccerInsider]

World Cup squads

Oldest player: Scotland’s Craig Gordon (43)
Youngest: Mexico’s Gilberto Mora (17)
40 and over: seven players
Under 20: 22
Clubs represented: 449 from 71 countries

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

Don't sleep on Pulisic and Pepi combination play.

Some of these Group games could have those two plus McKennie and Flo in the first XI.

Pepi and Flo are the two most in-form strikers I can recall #USMNT has had going into a World Cup.

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

Two #USMNT takeaways:

A. McKennie springing Flo w/through balls is a positive omen.

B. Tillman is crafty, and put Senegal under with high pressure. His goal should have counted.

And Pulisic and Flo balling is what will lead our frontline. A lot of chances sprung.
#FIFAWorldCup

[Hunter Tickel @ByHunterTickel]

Can Roldan, M.Robinson be cut?

Could bounce back, but might not feature again.

Aaronson, Freese not playing is puzzling. Aaronson trained less because he just got married.
Will they play vs. Germany?

Wright also didn't play, he should get minutes Sat.

D needs to clean it up.

Is it 3-2 or 2-2?

ESPN, FOX and Telemundo have had different lines. I am watching on Tele.

Sadio Mané finds another, tying the game for Senegal 🇸🇳
