Usmnt aims to make great slamping in the 2026 World Cup

The United States Men’s National Football Team will be a home team in next year’s World Cup, and they could create a big splash.

Eleven out of 16 business stadiums in next year’s tournament, which starts just one year from Wednesday, is in the United States, and the New Jersey Metlife Stadium has a final.

After 1994, the Major League Soccer was born, and it goes without saying that the rise in the popularity of football in the country is exponential.

But it seems to have hit the wall in recent years, as Usmnt has not accurately given the Americans the ability to cover.

Squad entered 16 2010 and 2014 rounds, but couldn’t even qualify for the tournament in 2018. Usmnt returned to 16 years ago 16 years ago, but last year could not escape the stage of the Copa América group on the soil of their home.

However, US team legend Landon Donovan believes that football is “safe” in the country, even if the team deceived in the US, and its popularity can only grow from here.

“Of course, this team will have a lot of pressure. You are playing the World Cup in front of the crowd, will definitely be pressure. Are the football position in trouble if they are not good? No,” Donovan said at the conference call with journalists this week.

“There is a huge, huge opportunity (for this team). In my experience from the ’02 World Cup, when we were really good, my life changed, and the US football trajectory changed a bit.”

But then again, Donovan scored one of the most famous goals in the history of the United States: his goal of stopping against Algeria for the first time since 2002 set the US group.

“In 2010, it was that for steroids when we had an iconic moment. So if this team can do one of two things, either going far, and/or is a two -moment, it will catapult football through the roof in that country.”

Alex Lasy, Executive Director of the Nynj Host Committee, offered similar views, saying that the global stars coming to the United States will be enough to develop the sport itself.

“If this is not what we hope, I don’t think it will diminish what the World Cup means the United States,” Lasry told Fox News Digital Jersey City Liberty State Park, the official home of the 2026 World Cup Fan Festival.

“I don’t think it will diminish as it is 6, 7, 8 years old watching it. If (Lionel) Messi, (Kylian) Mbappe, (Cristiano) Ronaldo (Christian) Pulisic, sports stars here is what leads to the next generation of athletes.” “

Fellow Usmnt beer Alexi Lalas took the coin on the other side of the coin. By agreeing with Donovan, because all it takes is one special moment to make the country pass, he said he was not allowing this team “from the hook”.

“This is a generation that has worked in the last 30 years to make sure they have everything they may need opportunities and resources, and so have greater hope and fair hope,” Lala said. “The one who is eventually in this field next summer, I hope they will recognize the opportunity and responsibility to continue the game. What (it looks)? It can be many different shapes. But when this last whistle blows to the US team, you want to leave thinking,” it was something I remember. It was proud to not only be football in the United States, but about the American. “

“You have to be ready and cover this option with both hands and use it as much as possible,” he said. “I don’t want to let go of them from the hook because I think they can do things we haven’t seen yet. They need football gods to smile, but every World Cup team needs a little luck, keep moving forward.
