Arguably the most talented U.S. men’s national team of all time arrives to the World Cup stage desperate to put on a show on home soil.

The Stars and Stripes might have automatically qualified for this summer’s tournament as hosts, but it more than earned the right to compete alongside the top 48 teams in the world. Oozing with talent and rejuvenated under the leadership of Mauricio Pochettino, the USMNT hope to pull off a storybook run in front of home crowds across the country.

Having never won a World Cup, the “golden generation” of American soccer players, led by AC Milan standout Christian Pulisic, kicks off its mighty quest on June 12 at SoFi Stadium, where a statement performance could set the tone for the host nation.
