LAS VEGAS, NV – Na today, Thursday, June 20, 2025, the U.S. men’s national team (USMNT) go face Saudi Arabia for Group D match as dem wan continue dem Gold Cup journey. After dem sharp 5-0 beat Trinidad and Tobago last weekend, e be like say dem don shake off the bad vibes from two losses before dis match.
Saudi Arabia, wey also win dem first match against Haiti, dey stand ready to give the USMNT better wahala (don’t underestimate them, my people!). This match go determine who go top the group. Depending on who win today, the knockout stage fit bring some gists and surprises for the teams.
Coach Mauricio Pochettino, no go wan change too much for di winning side wey beat Trinidad. E fit bring Tyler Adams back, if e fit show face, to help balance midfield. Di position for goalkeeper dey still get question mark o, but Freese wey sabi keep clean sheet fit get di chance to start again, although Matt Turner too dey wait for im opportunity.
On di Saudi side, coach Hervé Renard don come back to take charge and dem dey fly high since dem World Cup. But dem go miss captain Hassan Kadesh wey don get hamstring injury from di game against Haiti.
Both sides need dis victory bad as dem don start di tournament well. The pressure dey on di USMNT to show say dem dey serious for di tournament after dat di 5-0 beating wey dem give Trinidad and Tobago. If dem fit maintain dis momentum, e go gree dem cruise to di knockout stage.
As Pochettino dey think of di team selection, Malik Tillman and Diego Luna don shine well in di last match and dem go need shine again for dis one too. Tillman don score brace, while Luna dey find chance to prove imself against stronger opposition.
Prediction time – I fit see USMNT winning this one, maybe 2-1 against Saudi Arabia. Na wetin my belle talk, and we dey look forward to better football action!
