World Cup 2026 Β· Pre-tournament verdict
The Gaffer says
βRight, listen son, the USA on home soil? Ceiling's a quarter-final, proper crowd behind 'em, that's nailed on if the draw's kind. But here's my honest worry, mate -- they bottle the big moments, defence goes to pieces under pressure. Gut says they overachieve early then crumble. Verdict: Plucky hosts, but they ain't lifting nothing.β
