USA opened the 2026 World Cup<\/a> with a 4-1 win over Paraguay at the SoFi Stadium.<\/strong> The three points are a strong start to their group stage campaign, with two matches still to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USA World Cup 2026 odds put Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT at +8000 on home soil. The market does not price USA as a credible champion, but a deeper run than the Round of 16 ceiling that has defined the last three tournaments is firmly in play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USA have qualified for eight of the last nine World Cups, reaching the Round of 16 in three of the last four. Last time out, in Qatar 2022, the Netherlands ended their tournament 3-1 in the first knockout round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pochettino has names. Christian Pulisic at AC Milan, Folarin Balogun at Monaco, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams. The recent Concacaf Nations League cycle and four-of-five Gold Cup finals (winning two) suggest the program is on its strongest footing in a generation. The 2026 schedule and Group D are mapped on the 2026 World Cup schedule<\/a> page, with full bracket detail at FIFA’s official 2026 World Cup site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
