The United States faces Australia today, Friday 19 June, at 9.00 pm (Italian time), at Lumen Field in Seattle, in the second day of Group D. The match can already direct the group: the USA wants to give continuity to the 4-1 victory against Paraguay, while the Socceroos want to demonstrate that the victory over Turkey was not a coincidence. Both national teams debuted with a victory and occupy first place in the group with three points: an important opportunity to qualify for the round of 16 is up for grabs.
The main doubt for selector Pochettino concerns the availability of Pulisic, who has not trained in the last few hours due to calf problems and remains in doubt.
