USA Preview

Think America is all about basketball and baseball? Well, for a period it was, and when it came to the FIFA tournament, those stateside were largely absent. We take a look at America in the World Cup, the team’s history, their current best three players, and how they got to qualify for the trip to Qatar. Do they have the right ingredients to shake down Wales? Let’s find out.

World Cup History

So, when most people think of the US appearing in a World Cup, they would naturally assume they wouldn’t be that good because of the game being unpopular in the country. Those making a football prediction would certainly think that Wales has the upper hand in this game, but you might want to be cautious.

Yes, for many tournaments, the USA did not qualify. Between 1954 and 1986, the Americans did not qualify. Since the 1990 World Cup, they have experienced Group Stage, Round of 16, and even the Quarter-Finals in the 2002 World Cup, finishing 8th place overall.

The US got to host the 1994 World Cup and will be repeating the honour with the 2026 tournament that will be shared between the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Qualification & Road to the World Cup 2022

For the USA to get to the tournament, they had to take part in 14 qualifying matches. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for them this time, as they had some surprise results against far weaker opponents. A sign of things to come, or just a blip. Here are the qualifying results from the US. 

USA Players to Watch

America has developed some very good players in recent times, and we take a look at three of them that could be absolutely pivotal to how well the US does in this tournament.

• Cristian Pulisic: Position: Right Winger. Perhaps one of the best American footballers to be produced. He has thus far earned 50 caps and scored 21 international goals and is only 23 years of age. Technically classed as a right-winger but can often play in a front three. If the US is to get goals in this game, then it would be no surprise if it were him netting it in.
• Brenden Aaronson: Position: Midfielder. An attacking midfielder that caught many eyes in the 21/22 UCL, earning him a move from RB Salzburg to Leeds United. Currently has 21 caps, 6 goals, and 5 assists. At 21, If America does well, he could be Young Player of the Tournament.
• Tyler Adams: Position: Defensive Midfielder. Helping to dictate and control the flow of the game, Adams is a clean player who holds 30 caps, 1 goal, 1 assist, and 4 yellow cards.

Wales Preview

If you thought that this game was going to be nice and simple for the Welsh, then you might want to think again when you see their history with the tournament. But perhaps they have the players to out-class the Americans. This is going to be a shorter brief than the Americans, that’s one thing we are certain of.

World Cup History

Before the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Wales last qualified for the tournament back in 1958 and finished 6th. Since then, they had failed in every attempt, and though qualifying, they did it the long and hard way.

Qualification & Road to the World Cup 2022

The Welsh aren’t used to success in reaching the World Cup, so they can be forgiven for taking the long route. Not only did they have to play the Group Stages, but they had to go via the Qualifiers. This is when all the teams that finish 2nd place in their groups have to go through via a playoff against each other.

Wales Players to Watch

If you know the Welsh squad, then it is fair to say that much relies on one player being in form. Here we look at the team’s best three players that could have a huge impact in the game against the USA.

• Gareth Bale: Position: Forward. The greatest Welsh player since George Best and the most successful at club level of all time. Wales needs to make sure he is not injured before the tournament to even stand a chance. Bale has 106 caps, 39 goals, and 22 assists. If Wales manages any wins in this tournament, he is favourite to be the goal scorer.
• Daniel James: Position: Midfield. 36 caps, 5 goals, 5 assists, and 5 yellows. James gets into the thick of games because of his high pace. Draws fouls and has a huge impact on offence play. With him on the pitch, the opposition will pick up cards.
• Brennan Johnson: Position: Midfield. 13 caps, 2 goals, and 1 assist. One of the game’s rising stars, and if Wales does progress, he could be in line for Young Player of the Tournament.
