The US men's national team sits 16th in the FIFA rankings. Mauricio Pochettino will lead the side as hosts at the 2026 World Cup, with Christian Pulisic headlining a predominantly Europe-based squad.
As hosts, the U.S. face no traditional giants in Group D and are banking on home support and their attack to reach the knockout stage, with Pulisic's form set to be decisive.
Host nation Canada are leaning on their strongest-ever squad to overturn a history of finishing bottom of the group, with Alphonso Davies' return from injury set to be pivotal; Switzerland are bound for a sixth straight World Cup after conceding just two goals in qualifying.
