Team Profiles
The United States co-host the World Cup with a golden generation peaking at the right moment. With Pulisic, McKennie, Musah and Reyna, the USMNT are genuine contenders to go deep on home soil under Pochettino's tactical nous.
The Socceroos ride the momentum of their 2022 breakthrough to the knockout rounds. Australia's never-say-die attitude and organised defensive structure make them tough opponents. A growing diaspora ensures huge travelling support.
Türkiye return to the World Cup after missing 2018 and 2022. They beat Kosovo in the Path C final. Hakan Calhanoglu and young Real Madrid star Arda Guler lead a generationally talented squad under Vincenzo Montella.
Paraguay return to the World Cup determined to recapture their 2010 magic. Known for their defensive resilience and counter-attacking style, La Albirroja are dangerous underdogs.

Qualification Scenarios
The top 2 teams in Group D advance directly to the Round of 32. Additionally, the 8 best third-placed teams (from 12 groups) also qualify. This means a team could advance with as few as 3 points, or miss out with 4 — goal difference and head-to-head records become crucial tiebreakers.
