With the USMNT having secured the top spot in Group D and Türkiye already eliminated after successive defeats, there‘s nothing at stake during Thursday‘s clash between the nations at SoFi Stadium.
The Stars and Stripes have produced two emphatic victories over Paraguay and Australia, those triumphs ensuring progression to the World Cup last 32 as Group D’s champion. That sets up a meeting with a third-placed qualifier from another group and allows Mauricio Pochettino to rest and rotate for the finale with Türkiye.
