On paper, one of the weakest groups in the World Cup.

“We’ll see where we come in six months. We’ve played Paraguay and Australia recently and we’re very fresh.
Then there will be a very strong team from Europe in this group. We should be optimistic, continue to fight, develop. Now we can only analyze the teams and see what happens in a few months.
We have to respect all opponents. Everything will not be easy. We know that Paraguay did very well in the American qualifying tournament. Australia hadn’t lost in 12 or 13 matches until we played them.
Let’s see what other team will join us. With all due respect, but yes, we believe we can go further. But it will not be easy for us,” said Pochettino.
Team USA will play in the same group as Paraguay, Australia and Turkey/Romania/Slovakia/Kosovo.
