“My goals are a bit high in selection, because we know that there is the world's world cup and it is at home. I am a very important player for my national team today and I have to work hard during the season to be in good shape for the World Cup. I hope, with the grace of God, playing a second World Cup, that's the goal “. Timothy Weah said it during his presentation to the press at OM, he wants to win titles with his new club and make a large 2026 World Cup with the United States.
Son of George Weah, 1995 Ballon d'Or from Liberia then president of his country, Timothy is a native of New York, a Jamaican who was installed there. He grew up in the Big Apple as well as in Florida. It was at 14 that he sought to join a training center in Europe and thus joined theacademy
PSG. Having become a professional player with the Red and Blue, he was launched in Statesunian selection from the age of 18, in 2018, and already has 44 games (for seven goals) at 25.
For the first striker of Team USA at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar (1-1 against Wales), the host country of the World Cup 26, with Canada and Mexico, must go as far as possible. It will not be easy for this training led by Mauricio Pochettino which does not shine in the game or in the results. With their European players (Tanner Tessmann, Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic with Weah), the United States remains on defeats against Canada and Panama in the League of Concacaf Nations.
The United States with two Europeans?
During the drawing of the group phase (12 pools of four), on December 5 in Las Vegas, the USMNT (US Soccer Men's National Team, the real nickname of the team) will be protected by being part of the head of the heads of the standard. The Americans will not be able to face the other two host nations, as well as the eight best selections of the world, namely Argentina, Spain, France, England, Brazil, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany (if everyone qualifies).
Except that the United States is then likely to draw two European teams (only the selections of the old continent can be double in a group). We could find Croatia, Switzerland, Denmark and Austria in hat 2, as well as Italy, Greece, Serbia and Turkey in hat 4, as winners of European dams (according to the projections of the account x Football meets data). A difficult group is largely possible for the USA in this World Cup, as it will also be necessary to avoid the best teams in Africa and the other South American qualified.
