Jamie Carragher has claimed that USMNT stand a strong chance of progressing from the group stage of the upcoming World Cup, saying that their young squad has the energy to succeed in Qatar.
The USA have been drawn in a group alongside England, Wales and Iran as they hope to progress into the knockouts rounds from what has been branded as the tournament's 'group of death'. The USA were absent from the last tournament in Russia, but enjoyed a positive campaign at the previous two tournaments as they reached the last-16 stage in both 2010 and 2014.
They have a young squad, with players like Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie leading the way for Gregg Berhalter's exciting side. They will come up against some experienced tournament sides, with Iran having pushed Portugal and Spain all of the way in their group at the 2018 World Cup with Wales having made the semi-finals of Euro 2016 and progressing from their group at Euro 2020.
