## Resource

The USMNT can take a giant step toward winning Group D in Friday's clash against Australia. Should Mauricio Pochettino stick to his winning formula or rotate his squad? Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola preview the clash, breaking down the Socceroos' impressive win over Türkiye, where they can trouble the World Cup co-hosts, and the key matchups that could decide the game. Plus, with Christian Pulisic still nursing a calf injury, who should replace him in the starting lineup? And finally, the guys open the World Cup mailbag to answer your biggest questions.
