Why USA May Switch Up The Starters In Next World Cup Match

The U.S. clinched Group D after Paraguay beat Türkiye, so Pochettino can rest his starters in the final group game and save them for the knockout round.
With Tyler Adams, Folarin Balogun, Chris Richards and Antonee Robinson already booked, those players can be safely rested to avoid suspension for the round of 32.
Expect plenty of bench minutes (and time for Christian Pulisic to nurse his calf) — the win in Seattle also gave the U.S. back-to-back World Cup victories for the first time since 1930.
