The United States enter their penultimate World Cup preparations on the back of a 3-2 friendly win over Senegal in Charlotte. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who unveiled a 26-player roster on May 26, is using the remaining tune-ups to blend experience with emerging talent as the squad sharpens its cohesion while fine-tuning tactical details. The next fixture offers a decisive opportunity to lock in the starting eleven, build momentum, and set the tone for the opening matches of the 2026 tournament.
