U.S. Men's Team Seeks Group D Crown

The U.S. Men’s National Team is on the brink of securing top spot in Group D—with a win over Australia on Friday, they’d clinch the group outright thanks to new FIFA tiebreaker rules that prioritize head-to-head results. If Paraguay draws or wins against Türkiye, the U.S. locks in first place regardless of their final match. Australia also holds a shot at the top if they beat the U.S. and Türkiye beats Paraguay. The fate of both teams hangs in the balance until late Friday night, with the U.S. game kicking off at 3 PM Eastern and the other at 11 PM. Winning the group means a potentially easier knockout path and staying on the West Coast for their Round of 32 match—something the U.S. hasn’t done since 2010.
