The U.S. men’s national team’s journey at the 2026 World Cup did not go the way many had hoped, as it crashed out to Belgium in the round of 16 without putting up much of a fight. Despite the humiliating exit, there’s still hope for the future.
While the status of manager Mauricio Pochettino remains unclear, the player pool is young and improving. The majority of the USMNT stars are in their mid 20s, meaning they will be either in their late 20s or early 30s by the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
