Turkey vs United States — match preview
Turkey meet United States in Group D of the 2026 World Cup. Exciting young Turkish side built around Güler’s creativity.
United States arrive with their own plan. Co-hosts with home advantage and a peak-years core under Pochettino. The match-up between Arda Güler and Christian Pulisic is the headline individual battle.
With little between the two sides, fine margins — a set piece, a moment of quality, a defensive lapse — are likely to decide it. Both teams know a positive start is vital in a tight group.
