Let’s preview a colossal Group B showdown between the USMNT and England at the WorldCup.
Christian Pulisic: Pulisic will usually make this list for the U.S., but this time it’s even more pertinent. The Chelsea winger has either played or been a teammate with almost all of England’s players in the English Premier League, and his familiarity against the defenders’ play styles could make a significant difference, particularly against Newcastle United’s Keiran Trippier, who could start at right back.
Harry Maguire: Usually at the center of attention for all the wrong reasons, the Manchester United center back turned in an impressive performance against Iran. He set up Saka’s first goal by winning an aerial duel off a corner kick and should’ve scored the opener himself if it didn’t clang off the crossbar. The U.S. will look to be more aggressive than Iran, so Maguire will be put to the test under more pressure. This is the moment where he’ll need to handle it.
