For eight years, we talked about potential.
And about Friday, June 12, 2026, as the moment this USMNT would have to meet.
On a near-perfect night at SoFi, they met it, and maybe, just maybe, took U.S. men's soccer into a new era.

Happy Wednesday! We just published @TheAthletic's World Cup Tracker, an interactive tool to help you answer essentially any question about your team and its path to the finals.
I'm biased ofc, but I think it will be the best product in the world for any fan. Here's an overview!
"Superuser mode" is presented "as is" but it's pretty useful if you know what you're doing. You can pick scores or results only, or have the computer do it for you.
If you find yourself using or sharing these features, please subscribe to @TheAthletic! The extremely talented people who made this (too many for one tweet) are on a 10-year supermax contract and we need your money to make sure the checks clear
