The U.S. men’s national team will name its 26-man official World Cup roster on May 26 and kick off World Cup play just two weeks later, two dates that are quickly approaching despite the many questions the Stars and Stripes still have left to answer.
The co-host opens the tournament on U.S. soil on June 12, clashing first with Paraguay in Group D action. Before then, though, manager Mauricio Pochettino and his group have two friendlies against Senegal and Germany at the end of the month to fine-tune everything and familiarize the final squad with one another. It will also be an opportunity for the Americans to avenge themselves after their last outing: defeats to both Belgium and Portugal back in March.
