Group D closes on Friday morning at Los Angeles Stadium with Türkiye already eliminated and the USA already through — but Mauricio Pochettino’s side target a third straight win regardless.
The USMNT topped Group D with maximum points, beating Paraguay 4–1 and Australia 2–0 to seal their place in the round of 32 with a game to spare. A third consecutive World Cup victory would be a first for the United States in the competition’s history, and Pochettino has made clear he is chasing it despite the luxury of rotation.
Türkiye head into their final fixture having scored zero goals from 62 shots across two defeats. The pressure is off, the tournament is over, and Vincenzo Montella’s side have one last chance to prove their talent was never the problem.
