Australia takes on the United States as the two joint-leaders in Group D collide at Lumen Field in a bid to secure their spots in the World Cup 2026 knockout rounds. Both teams won their opening games of the tournament, but the Stars and Stripes hold a key edge after powering to a 4-1 win over Paraguay in their curtain-raiser.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side were far more impressive than expected in the matchup, which marked the first time in almost exactly a year that they’ve managed to score four or more in a competitive game. However, the Socceroos promise to put that record to the test in proving whether or not that win may have been an anomaly.
Tony Popovic might have been even more content with his side’s 2-0 triumph over Turkey, bagging just a second clean sheet from the team’s last eight outings. Nestory Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe supplied the finishes for Australia on the day, and a repeat result for either team would guarantee a top-two finish in the group.
The only disappointment for Pochettino is the news that boy wonder Christian Pulisic remains ‘day-to-day’ following the calf injury he picked up against Paraguay. He’s the United States’ sole fitness concern coming into Friday’s fixture, while Australia is glad to have a clean bill of health.
