When Mauricio Pochettino names the U.S. men’s national team roster next Tuesday for two high-profile tuneups in Atlanta against European powerhouses Belgium and Portugal, the temptation will be to assume it will be identical to the coach’s eventual World Cup squad. By definition, they’re different. One will be announced in late March. The other one — the 26-man group that will compete in the planet’s biggest event on home soil this summer — is scheduled to drop with great fanfare on May 26. And while most of those who are included for the March 28 test versus the Belgians and Portuguese are well-positioned to stick around for the World Cup itself, there is likely to be a few who don’t make it. We’ll know a lot more about Pochettino’s player pool by April 1. For a team that hasn’t played together in four months, these upcoming contests will provide one final, crucial set of pre-tournament data points for the Argentine and his staff. We don’t have that luxury. Not yet, anyway. The Americans kick off their World Cup campaign exactly three months from today, when they face Paraguay on June 12 in Los Angeles. Who is most likely to be in Pochettino’s starting lineup that night? Here is my projection based on what we know today. STRIKERS Starter: Folarin BalogunBackups: Ricardo Pepi, Haji Wright, Patrick AgyemangJust missed out: Damion Downs, Brian White, Josh Sargent Even when his production was down during the middle part of Monaco’s season, Balogun was the odd-on choice to be the spear of the USA’s World Cup attack. Now Balogun is playing his best ball of the 2025-26 campaign, having scored five goals — three of them against Champions League titlists Paris Saint-Germain — in his last five games. Pepi, Wright and Agyemang are also all scoring regularly for their clubs. Were Pochettino picking his World Cup squad today, all four would be deserving of the honor. With 26 available places, there’s no reason the former Chelsea, PSG and Tottenham Hotspur boss can’t take them all so long as that remains the case. All four have different strengths, and the U.S. can never have too many goalscorers. Especially at the World Cup. ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS Starters: Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennieBackups: Brenden Aaronson, Diego Luna, Malik Tillman Just missed out: Gio Reyna, Alex Zendejas Pulisic has to be a lock despite not having a goal or assist for AC Milan in 2026. Same for McKennie, whose career season with Juventus is showing no signs of slowing down. The hard-running Aaronson keeps starting for Premier League Leeds United, and while Tillman has been slowed by an ankle injury lately and used mostly off the bench for Bayer Leverkusen, his body of work for club and country over the last year won’t be forgotten. Same goes for Luna, who hasn’t played for Real Salt Lake in 2026 because of injury, one that will probably cost him a call-up this month. Zendejas could replace Luna in Atlanta. Another goal, like the one he scored in September’s 2-0 win over Japan, would give the coaches something to think about. But the little lefty has been in just one camp under Poch over the last year and has also been dinged up; Zendejas hasn’t gone 90 minutes in any game this calendar year. He’s still playing way more than Reyna is, though. The 2022 World Cup veteran is coming up on two months without an appearance for Borussia Mönchengladbach. HOLDING MIDFIELDERS Starters: Tyler Adams, Tanner Tessmann Backups: Sebastian Berhalter, Johnny Cardoso, Cristian Roldan Just missed out: Aidan Morris, Yunus Musah Adams is a no-brainer, obviously. But Tessmann’s performances for Lyon have been up and down lately — he came off the bench for the final five minutes of Thursday’s 1-1 Europa League tie with Spain’s Celta Vigo — could also be losing his gip on a starting spot for the U.S. The 24-year-old Cardoso has been in Atlético Madrid’s XI in six of the Spanish giants’ last eight La Liga outings. He’s also started Atleti’s last two Champions League matches, including 90 minutes in Tuesday’s 5-2 walloping of Tottenham in the round of 16 first leg that Pochettino watched in person. It’s true that Cardoso has never played well for the USMNT in his 22 appearances. But he figures to get one last long look during at least one of the two March games. If he performs well and Tessmann doesn’t, it could suddenly become Johhny’s spot to lose. By scoring his first two goals for Italian club Atalanta in early March, Musah is also making a late push. It could be too little, too late for a player who has now gone almost 12 full months without an international cap. The 2022 World Cup standout, who is still only 23, might not even be next man up. Morris featured in the final four USMNT games of 2025 and started two of those — including the year-ending 5-1 rout of Uruguay. Meantime, Berhalter and Roldan have picked up where they left off in the fall with their MLS teams. The former scored his first goal of the season for Vancouver last weekend, while Roldan has logged every minute through three games in Seattle. The pair face off on Thursday night, when the Whitecaps host the Sounders in the Concacaf Champions Cup (10 p.m. ET on FS2). WINGBACKS Starters: Sergiño Dest, Antonee “Jedi” Robinson Backups: Max Arfsten, Alex Freeman Hurt playing for PSV last weekend, Dest will miss the March window but is expected to recover in time to start a second straight World Cup. It’s also possible that Jedi — another known quantity who has been sidelined recently — could remain this month with Fulham, for which he’s only played in twice in six games since mid-February. The news here is Freeman, who has struggled to get on the field for Villarreal since moving to La Liga in January. The former Orlando City standout came off the bench three times in February for the Yellow Submarine but has been an unused sub in three straight games. Freeman has played just 31 total minutes since scoring twice against Uruguay back on Nov. 18. CENTER BACKS Starters: Chris Richards, Tim Ream, Tim Weah Backups: Mark McKenzie, Miles Robinson Just missed out: Tristan Blackmon, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty, Walker Zimmerman Per well-sourced German publication Kicker, Noahkai Banks – the 19-year-old Hawaii-born, Germany-rasied defender who’s having a breakout season for Bundesliga side Augsburg, will miss the March camp as he considers which country to represent. “I’m very torn, Banks said this week. “I’m in contact with both the U.S. and Germany, and both national team coaches…I don’t want to make my decision dependent on a World Cup.” Because Banks represented the U.S. at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup, he’d have to petition FIFA for a one-time switch of national association to play for Die Mannschaft – something he hasn’t yet done, a source with knowledge of the situation told me on Wednesday. But it’s hard to see Poch handing a World Cup roster spot to him if he’s not ready to make a commitment. That’s true even though there are legitimate concerns that the 38-year-old Ream, Pochettino’s go-to captain, is finally showing his age with Charlotte FC early this MLS season. How he fares against two all-world attacks with the USA in Atlanta will reveal plenty about his current level ahead of the World Cup. With Freeman idling, Weah is a more than adequate replacement. No, he’s not a center back. Neither is Freeman. But he’s occupied a similar role often for Marseille since moving from Juventus last August, even if he’s more likely to be deployed at right wing this month with Dest unavailable. GOALKEEPERS Starter: Matt Freese Backups: Matt Turner, Patrick Schulte Just missed out: Chris Brady, Roman Celentano, Ethan Horvath, Jonathan Klinsmann, Diego Kochen, Zack Steffen Freese started the final 12 games of 2025 for Pochettino. Will he man the nets in both games this month? Or will Turner, the USMNT’s No. 1 in Qatar, get one final chance to reclaim the top job? Either way, Freese is the clear incumbent as things stand today. Who ends up as the Americans’ third World Cup keeper is far murkier. The best American backstop through the first three weeks of the MLS season has been San Diego’s 19-year-old Duran Ferree, but there’s no reason to think that the U.S. U-20 national teamer is in the running. We still think Schulte has the inside track. The Ohio native is a proven winner who has spent more time with Pochettino than any of his direct rivals. He also has valuable tournament experience, having helped the Olympic team reach the quarterfinals at the 2024 Summer Games in France.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Is there any truth to the rumor that Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya are feuding?
What initially seemed like a wild internet rumor is looking more and more plausible amid the media tour for Euphoria Season 3.
Yes, there was a time when it looked like Euphoria S3 would never happen, but now it’s just a few weeks away.
But don’t tell that to Sydney, who has allegedly decided to skip the show’s press tour.
Are Sydney and Zendaya really beefing over politics?
In case you’re somehow unaware, Sydney has become a darling of the MAGA movement in recent months.
Now, she’s never endorsed Donald Trump or spoken publicly about who she voted for in 2024.
But Sweeney’s American Eagle jeans controversy (and her subsequent refusal to push back against the far-right interpretation) of its message gained her a large GOP following.
The revelation that Sydney is a registered Republican only added to the perception that she holds highly conservative views (which she’s neither confirmed nor denied).
Zendaya, on the other hand, has been an outspoken progressive throughout her career, and many jumped to the conclusion that the costars must not get along.
There were even rumors that Sydney was refusing to promote Euphoria due to her bad blood with Zendaya.
And pics and video posted by HBO earlier today seemed to support that theory:
Here were Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow posing together — with Sydney conspicuously absent.
Countless fans and influencers concluded that the rumors of a politically charged feud must be accurate, and Sweeney decided to skip the media tour.
But TMZ is refuting that rumor, reporting that the shot was taken behind the scenes and was not part of a planned promotional event.
Still, it’s significant that the photo included most of the female stars of the show, except for, arguably, the most famous one.
Even so, the outlet insists that Sydney’s “absence had nothing to do with an alleged feud between the two superstar actresses.”
So we guess folks who are thirsty for more Euphoria drama will just have to wait until the show returns to HBO Max on April 12.
The cast has followed an interesting arc over the years:
When the series began, Zendaya was the only household name.
Now, Jacob Elordi is nominated for an Oscar, and Sydney is one of the most famous people on the planet.
Another of the show’s regulars, Eric Dane, passed away from ALS last month, but was able to film his final scenes for Euphoria ahead of his death.
Needless to say, it’s been quite an emotional journey for this show, and the third and final season promises to pack a punch.

Megan Moroney is one of the hottest names in country music right now, but there was a time when she was ready to give it all up and move back home to Georgia. Sitting down with Drew Barrymore on The Drew Barrymore Show, the country star opened up about those early doubts, her rise to fame, and the therapeutic environment she now tries to create for fans at her live shows.
Barrymore looked to Moroney with admiration and pride as she gushed over her increasing list of accomplishments and then asked if her many feats have been a strong reassurance that she’s on the right path in life.
“This is my third album and I feel like I’ve just kind of been chipping away and little things happen over time where I’m like, ‘wow, this is crazy,” Moroney explained. “Like the Am I Okay? Tour, and then to have a number one album, I’m like, oh, it must be working because all these little wins become a big win eventually. And then you wake up one day and you have the number one album and it’s like, when did that even happen?”
The “Medicine” singer admitted it’s still a bit hard to wrap her head around the fact how far she has come compared to when she first started out touring in a rental car with her band.
“My drummer and I went to the same high school and when we first started out, it started with a rental car. We didn’t even have the church van with the U-Haul yet. And then we moved up to the church van and U-Haul and then we were like, ‘oh, we have leg room.’ And then we moved up to a bandwagon, which is basically like a rock tumbler going down the road. If you hit a bump, you’re going to go through the ceiling, which that didn’t last too long, fortunately. And then next thing you know, there’s like 14 of us on one bus, which to me now seems very not ideal, but at the time it was like, ‘Oh my God, we have a bus driver!’”
Moroney then offered a reminder that for anyone who might think that her success happened overnight, it didn’t. It actually took a lot of hard work and determination to get her to where she is today.
“To me, it feels like I’ve just slowly been chipping away,” she shared.
The honest conversation continued when Barrymore encouraged Moroney to think back to a time when she felt so low that success seemed out of reach and asked how she was able to push through it. Without any hesitation, the Georgia native recalled a moment in 2020 that had her on the verge of calling it quits.
“I remember it was like 2020. I had lived in Nashville for like six months and I remember watching the CMA Awards alone at my apartment and I remember crying that night and I was just like, ‘This is like never going to happen for me,’” she admitted. “And I was just, I hadn’t written a good song in like two months and I’m like, ‘This sucks. Maybe I should just move home.’ And my parents encouraged me to not do that.”
Fast forward to 2024, Megan Moroney won her first-ever CMA Award for New Artist Of the Year, all because she didn’t give up. She is now making waves with her Billboard 200-topping album, Cloud 9, and is preparing to embark on her first-ever headlining arena tour.
Speaking about her upcoming performances, Barrymore brought up the fact that Moroney’s live shows are a unique experience as she strives to make the concerts feel like group therapy. She explained that the reason she set this intention for each night is because of the palpable energy that fills the rooms she plays in. Fans often join Moroney in crying through the moments of heartbreak, screaming through moments of anger and also celebrating love.
“It’s like in the 90 minutes or however long I’m on stage, we go through all these emotions together. And it doesn’t matter if you don’t know your neighbor, you’re like hugging them, screaming with them. And it’s interesting that you say that because when I started writing songs, I would have people ask me like, ‘Does it ever scare you to be that vulnerable?’ And I’m like, it did at first for sure, because I’m like, ‘Can I say this?’ But then once I started putting out music that was super honest and just straight to the point, it made me realize that like, yeah, we all go through the same stuff, just only a few of us are willing to talk about it,” she admitted.
Megan Moroney’s appearance on one of the country’s most-watched daytime talk shows also included a ramen taste test and a hilarious bonding moment over things she and Barrymore have both admitted to doing in a moment of post-breakup rage.
Earlier this week, she delivered one of her biggest performances yet when she took the stage at the 72,220-capacity NRG Stadium for her SOLD-OUT debut performance at RodeoHouston. The show sold out in under half an hour, and Moroney celebrated the moment with a memorable entrance, pulling up to the stage in her Cloud 9–pink Bronco before launching into a powerhouse set.
She is next set to embark on her highly anticipated Cloud 9 Tour, which features stops at arenas across North America, Europe, and the UK.

The MomTok drama never stops.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mikayla Matthews met her husband at an extremely young age.
Since then, they have welcomed four children — with Baby #4 coming just last year.
Now, it’s over. Sort of.
They’ve been married for 8 years, but now …
Mikayla and Jace have been together since she was 16. He, at the time, was a grown man in his (early) 20s.
On the Thursday, March 12 episode of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, viewers saw their marriage come to a screeching halt.
“We both agreed to do a separation,” Mikayla told the camera on Season 4, Episode 9 of the Hulu series.
This season, her childhood trauma — including being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) — was a recurring hot topic.
And it has ground the intimate portion of their love life to a standstill.
“It’s so incredible that everyone’s getting these opportunities and going out and living their dreams,” Mikayla affirmed during the episode. “But my health has held me back from saying yes to a lot of opportunities.”
Mikayla just gave birth to their fourth child last year.
She also suffers from a chronic illness that is also something of a medical mystery.
“It’s definitely discouraging and frustrating,” Mikayla expressed, “and it kind of holds me back in other places in my life, like my marriage with Jace.”
The couple entered couples therapy during Season 3. However, they have made little progress.
She needs to sort out her trauma before they can fix their marriage
During the episode, Mikayla chatted with Mayci Neeley about how processing her trauma needs to happen before she and Jace can repair their sex life.
“I feel like I’m working on so many different things outside of just sex,” she shared.
“And I know that obviously he can’t just be like, ‘OK, well we can go without that,’” Mikayla acknowledged.
She added: “We both get to a point where we feel really helpless about it.”
As viewers saw, Mikayla and Jace agreed that she doesn’t currently “have the motivation” to tackle the intimacy angle.

Viewers’ were beside themselves as Mikayla packed up her belongings, preparing to move out as the separation began.
“At home, you feel like you can’t focus on your skin and your health because I’m also here,” Jace acknowledged.
This is ostensibly the reason that she, not he, moved out.
“I think it’s hard anytime you bring up the stuff with the sex and the intimacy,” Mikayla acknowledged. “I feel it’s hard on me.”
She explained that this is “because again, my nervous system is already in fight or flight, and I’m already maxed out. My bucket is full.”
Is the marriage over forever?
“I don’t think it’s like with the intention of being separated forever,” Mikayla stated optimistically.
“I think we’re obviously still going to see each other every single day,” she predicted. “I’m not trying to go even a day away from the kids anyway.”
Mikayla confessed to the camera: “There’s part of me that is definitely scared to lose him because I feel like our marriage is so good outside of the sexual intimacy part of it.”
She commented: “Which is ironic because that’s his No. 1 need and that’s my No. 1 wound.”
Perhaps we will soon get an update on Mikayla and Jace’s marriage, since months have passed since this episode filmed.
