USA's Previous World Cup Problem At A Key Position Should Be An Strength

After years of World Cup scoring struggles, the U.S. arrives with a hot striker trio — Folarin Balogun (19 goals for Monaco), Ricardo Pepi (19 for PSV) and Haji Wright (18) — giving fans renewed optimism.
Balogun is projected to start vs. Paraguay Friday in LA; teammates praise his hold-up play and movement while Pepi and Wright offer different attacking options off the bench.
The attack is backed by service from Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and attacking fullbacks, and the squad has positive fitness news (Chris Richards back, Antonee Robinson fit).
