World Cup 2026 — Group D

World Cup 2026 Group D puts the second co-host nation under the spotlight. USA arrive in their own backyard with Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Yunus Musah forming a midfield built for big moments. The pressure of hosting is real, but the quality is there. Türkiye are the most dangerous wildcard in the group — Arda Güler at Real Madrid and Hakan Çalhanoğlu at Inter Milan give them a ceiling few expected. Paraguay are quietly dangerous, with Miguel Almirón providing Premier League-tested experience. Australia, the Socceroos, have never been easy opponents and know how to grind through a tournament. USA should top this group, but Türkiye's young talent makes them the side everyone will be watching. A Pulisic vs Güler showdown in the final group match could decide everything.
