Preview:
USA look to get off the mark in style when they return to the World Cup stage for their opener against Wales on Monday.
The United States side finished 3rd in their qualifier campaign with 25 points to ensure a place in the WC Finals.
It was a rather positive time for them as they developed a competitive squad through years of hard-work.
In their previous 5 matches across competitions, USA has won just 1, which does not make for good reading but there are signs of improvement.
On the other hand, Wales qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1958 and are looking to make their presence felt.
Gareth Bale is hopeful of helping Wales perform well in the tournament as it likely to be his final one as well.

Due to this, Wales look to seek inspiration and perform for their captain and for the love of the fans.
Wales head into this after a hat-trick of defeats in the Nations League. But this is a new start as it is the World Cup with their squad having quality through.
Both sides last met in a friendly match in November 2020, where it finished goalless.

de la Torre is a major doubt for USA as he is nursing a hamstring injury and could be a while before he returns.
Wales has no such concerns and have a fit squad ahead of the opener.

USA possible 11:
Turner, Dest, Zimmerman, Long, Robinson, Aaronson, Adams, McKennie, Reyna, Ferreira and Pulisic
Wales possible 11:
Hennessey, Davies, Rodon, Ampadu, Roberts, Allen, Ramsey, Williams, Bale, James and Moore
Prediction: USA 1-2 Wales
Wales has the edge in this one due to the pace they possess on the counter coupled with the more experienced players in their squad.
USA has the quality and in-form players but could be short in the backline. There is more youth than experience in the squad, which could see them slip up in pressure situations. Hence; we see Wales sneaking it.
Players to watch out for: Pulisic, McKennie, James and Bale.
