Framing Analysis
The United States has secured first place in Group D after two victories, including a 2-0 win over Australia, and will face already-eliminated Turkey on Thursday in Inglewood, California. Christian Pulisic missed the Australia match due to injury but returned to training on June 23, 2026, while four U.S. players carry yellow cards. Turkey has yet to score in the tournament and returns after a 24-year absence.
