USMNT's 2026 World Cup draw could not have gone any better
World Cup success requires both talent and luck. It appears the USMNT has luck on its side with one of the most favorable draws for the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. With Mauricio Pochettino looking on during Friday's draw, the Americans were drawn into a group with Paraguay, Australia, and a still-to-be-determined European side.

England has 2018 runner-up Croatia, USMNT World Cup nemesis Ghana and Panama in its Group L while France has 2022 African champion Senegal, Erling Haaland and Norway and the winner of an intercontinental playoff.
