It’s the moment USMNT fans have been waiting for: Who will the United States face in the 2026 World Cup that’s taking place in their home country, along with Mexico and Canada?It’ll be Paraguay, Australia and one of Turkey, Romania, Slovakia or Kosovo in Group D with the U.S. And all of that is good news! Australia is 26th in the world, one of the easier teams of Pot 2. Paraguay is 39th. And any one of the other playoff teams aren’t a huge threat.Now, that said: The USMNT obviously has to win those games and can’t think for a second that its skating out of the group stage easily. But fans were rejoicing after the World Cup draw:BREAKING: The USMNT World Cup group is set🇺🇸 United States🇦🇺 Australia🇵🇾 Paraguay🇪🇺 Winner of Turkiye/Romania/Slovakia/KosovoVery favorable draw given potential options. pic.twitter.com/U19flRnUCg— Tom Bogert (@tombogert) December 5, 2025The USMNT should win this group.
