USA

Overview

The USMNT has won four of their last six matches, though the losses have been heavy. A 4-1 defeat to Belgium sits awkwardly alongside more convincing recent victories. The squad shows inconsistency at both ends - they've scored freely in wins but conceded multiple goals in losses, suggesting defensive vulnerabilities against top-tier opposition.

Recent Form

The Americans opened this run with a bruising 4-1 loss in Belgium, then steadied with a 2-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina. Türkiye proved problematic, winning 3-2 in a match the US could have controlled. Since then, the form has tightened. Victories over Australia (2-0), Paraguay (4-1), and Senegal (3-2) show the squad can both dominate weaker sides and grind out results in tight contests.

The pattern is clear: the USMNT compete well against mid-tier nations and below, where they've won four straight. Against elite European sides, they've struggled. The Belgium scoreline is the outlier that demands attention - conceding four goals represents a breakdown rather than a tactical defeat. The narrow wins over Türkiye and Senegal, both 3-2, suggest matches where the US had to come from behind or hold on late, which speaks to either resilience or a tendency to invite pressure they shouldn't need to weather.
