The prediction for the match is all Stars and Stripes but the South Americans could hold out for at least a while

June 11 – 7.49pm – MILAN

The second Stars and Stripes World Cup could be the definitive consecration of soccer in the States. First of all because – compared to 1994 – today the USA has a high-level national championship, which has grown in recent years in the wake of the Beckham effect: it can be said that the Englishman – who landed in Los Angeles for the first time in 2007 – is the true pioneer of the rebirth of American football. Also because his intuition has been followed, in more recent times, by other world football champions: from Rooney to Pirlo, up to Ibrahimovic and Messi. Today, however, MLS is no longer just a popular destination for hunters for the latest contracts, but also a garden of talents who have left America to conquer Europe: from Pulisic to McKennie, passing through Reyna, Balogun and Johnny Cardoso. All “Born in the USA” and determined to change the course of history: so far the World Cup has only been won by European and South American national teams. Who knows, it might be the right time to change the geopolitics of football. In the meantime, we have to think about the debut against a Paraguay reborn under the guidance of Gustavo Alfaro and capable of beating both Brazil and Argentina in the qualifying round. Sixteen years later, Albirroja returns to play in the World Cup, driven by the talent of Miguel Almiron (whose bad knee, however, worries the entire nation) and the starlet Julio Enciso, introduced by De Zerbi at Brighton and returning from a great season with Strasbourg, Conference and French Cup semi-finalists.

Motivation and support from the Los Angeles public could also push the team coached by Pochettino into the market for shots on goal, also given the offensive potential available to the coach. Including Christian Pulisic, called to forget the last difficult months with the Milan shirt. Without a goal in Serie A since last December, the American returned to celebrating only in the friendly match won by his national team against Senegal at the end of May. We will soon find out if it is a sign of rebirth. At the last World Cup – in 2022 in Qatar – Pulisic actively participated in all the goals scored by the United States, scoring one goal and two assists. Today Uncle Sam relies on his plays to try to match the third place of 1930, the best result ever for the States in the World Cup. Another football and another world, some will say. Maybe, but the great American dream is only just beginning.
