Who will captain USMNT at the World Cup? (2:15)

The USMNT captaincy situation, as well as the latest on injury news, are discussed by Sam. 1:45

The United States will play Wales in the World Cup in Al Rayyan. Group B has England, Iran and the U.S.

The U.S. advanced to the round of 16 in both World Cup appearances. The US has never won a World Cup match against a European team.

Berhalter's confidence hasn't been affected by that.

He believes that we can beat anyone in the world. "Any person."

Youth will lead the way regardless of the outcome. There is only one World Cup veteran after the right back made his World Cup debut at the age of 20. The most experienced players on the roster are Kellyn, Christian, Jordan, and Tim Ream.

The Welsh can't counter Yedlin's experience. Wales is participating in the World Cup for the first time in over six decades. Wales has an illustrious pro career of its own, with the exception of Bale, who is at Real Madrid.

The USMNT and Wales are playing in Group B.

Wondergoal from Weah!

Tim Weah got the USMNT on the board when he streaked past the Wales keeper after a beautiful throughball from Christian Pulisic.

Fans out in force

Youth movement

Along with the youngest USMNT World Cup captain ever in Tyler Adams, we've have the youngest lineup at the tournament. The youngest is 19-year-old Yunus Musah, who played for England's youth team before moving to the U.S.

What is the oldest member of the squad? Tim Ream hasn't started for the US in over a year. The veteran defender is going to be the steady one. Yedlin is the only holdover from the previous year.

Lineups are out!

The USMNT lost to Belgium at the World Cup in the Round of 16 in the previous year. The emergence of so many new faces and exciting new talent has been seen by the USM NT.

The youngest ever at a World Cup, Tyler Adams is the captain of the USMNT. We'll see how much Weston McKennie and Sergino Dest can contribute as they've been hampered by injuries, but it's a surprise start for Joshua Sargent.

Here we go. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Wales hasn't been to a World Cup since 1959 and the US hasn't played in one in a long time. The captain of the team, Gareth Bale, is one of the stars to watch. Daniel James andAaron Ramsey have a lot of big game experience.
