USA vs Wales Preview
Group B in the 2022 World Cup consists of the United States, Wales, England and Iran. England is predicted to win the group, while Iran is predicted to finish in fourth (via SI Sportsbook), which means the head-to-head matchup between Team USA and Wales is crucial to the United States advancing out of Group B, as there are eight groups of four and the top two of each group advance to the Knockout Stage.
It’s been a bit of a rebuilding phase for Team USA. The current U.S. men’s national team has only one player, DeAndre Yedlin, who has ever played in the World Cup before. In his pre-game press conference, Team USA coach Gregg Berhalter said that he can try to impart all of his wisdom to the team as a former player, but they’re not going to know exactly what they’re made of until “the whistle blows against Wales.”
“The way I look at this is we can say anything we want, I can give them any type of experience that I’ve had, but I know this group and they’re not really gonna know until the whistle blows against Wales,” he said, adding, “We’re sticking to the values to who we are as a team and what we want to accomplish in this tournament and then we get ready to go. We know that World Cup games are highly competitive, we know that winning World Cup games are very difficult and that’s going to set the stage for how we compete in this tournament.”
When asked if having essentially a brand-new squad is an advantage or a disadvantage, Berhalter said that it really doesn’t matter — they have to be ready either way.
“I can sit up here and tell you basically anything, right? — I can say it’s an advantage, a disadvantage, it just doesn’t matter though because it is what it is. We’re gonna get this group ready to play, ready to compete and that’s just the nature of what we’re working with. What I would say is that we’re pleased with how this group has been rebuilt. We’re pleased with the core of this team, we think the core of this team has a ton of potential and we’re just excited to get the tournament started,” said Berhalter.
The USA vs Wales World Cup matchup kicks off Monday, November 21 at 2 p.m. Eastern on FOX, Telemundo and Peacock. Team USA will then play England on November 25 at 2 p.m. Eastern and will play Iran on November 29 at 2 p.m. Eastern.
