The USMNT is positioning itself for a deep run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and the DNVR crew is breaking down if Mauricio Pochettino has a legitimate chance to guide this squad all the way to the trophy. We preview tonight’s final Group D match against Türkiye at SoFi Stadium in LA and potential Round of 32 knockout stage opponents. We analyze the standout players who have impressed the most during the first two weeks of the tournament, alongside a look at the biggest group stage winners, losers, and El Tri talk as Mexico's form has been impressive. Finally, we rank the tournament’s most compelling underdog stories and predict which contenders will be the first to be sent home early.

Join Andre Simone, Duane Brown and Yahir Vazquez to talk all things World Cup, USMNT, Mexico and MLS.
