The wait is finally over. The FIFA World Cup 2026 kicks off in Los Angeles at the SoFi Stadium, with co-hosts USA squaring off against African powerhouses Morocco in a blockbuster Group A encounter.
US Coach Gregg Berhalter has declared that the team is fully healthy and prepared to meet the physical challenge posed by the Moroccan midfield.
Key battles will take place on the wings, where Morocco's Achraf Hakimi will look to lock horns with USA captain Christian Pulisic. Analysts suggest that a draw is the most likely outcome, but the electric home crowd could prove decisive.
