Most importantly, we’re going to predict the entire path of the tournament and follow the bracket round by round to see exactly what the road to the World Cup Final could look like for the United States. Can Pulisic lead this team on a historic run? Is the midfield strong enough to compete with the world’s elite? Can the defense hold up against top-level competition? Join us as we preview the tournament, make our predictions, and determine just how far this USMNT team can realistically go.
