Key Players to Watch – USMNT
Christian Pulisic – AC Milan attacking midfielder, the USMNT’s most creative threat and primary goal scorer. His form coming into the tournament will define how far the US can go.

Weston McKennie – Juventus midfielder, engine of the US press and one of the most physically imposing midfielders in the tournament.

Tyler Adams – the heartbeat of the USMNT midfield when fit. His availability is always the key injury watch for the US.
