Feature
As co-hosts, the USA arrive with the bar set low after a bumpy run-up, but the route into the knockouts is there if Mauricio Pochettino can finally settle on a plan. The squad's spine carries genuine World Cup mileage, and their coach has a track record of getting results when the games matter most. The lingering worry: nobody's quite sure what his best XI or system actually is, and the home crowd has noticed.
USA are into the last 32. Job done in the group, and now the tournament really begins — one-and-done from here, every match a final.

The star the whole American project orbits around — if the USA are to make noise, it runs through him.
