#USMNT Injury Updates @WorldCup26HQ @FIFAWorldCup @windowintlpod @11Yanks @ManagerTactical @Eyesandvibes @USMNTOtaku @usmntonly @StarsStripesFC @usmntaut @USMNT_Thoughts @FOXSoccer Brendan Aaronson: Left leg contusion; suffered a "dead leg" vs. Brighton & Hove Albion, some muscle tightness but no tearing, expected to play vs. West Ham on Sunday Chris Richards: Ankle sprain; undergoing further evaluation for severity, will miss time but not an extended period, not likely to play vs. Arsenal Best case scenario: Lateral ankle sprain (Grade I), 2-4 weeks recovery Unfavorable scenario: Grade II lateral ankle sprain, 6-8 weeks recovery Worst case scenarios: High-ankle sprain or medial ankle sprain, at least 8 weeks recovery, out of World Cup

@FinallyNicola @FabrizioRomano Yeah, I overlooked it 😅....Whoops.

@PhysiogenixPT @FabrizioRomano Thiago is there

I'm very surprised that João Pedro (18 goals, 6 assists in all competitions) and Igor Thiago (23 goals, 1 assist in all competitions) wasn't selected for the World Cup. We had heard rumors that Neymar would be included, which has been fully corroborated. Very curious what Carlo Ancelotti is thinking 🤔. @WorldCup26HQ @FIFAWorldCup @windowintlpod #WorldCup

Where do you start with this level of quality 😍? Cristiano Ronaldo returns for his record 6th World Cup. He is the only man to have scored in 5 consecutive World Cups. Ronaldo has a good chance to make it 6. Gonçalo Ramos looks like the direct backup at striker. João Félix has to be one of the wingers if Portugal 🇵🇹 goes with a 4-2-3-1. His chemistry with Cristiano along with his impeccable vision is good for continuity in the attack. I'm stuck on 3 names for the other winger: Pedro Neto, Rafael Leão, Francisco Trincão. I think we should go with the guy who just tied the Premier League assist record as the starting CAM. Seriously, Bruno Fernandes has been playing 4-D chess all season for Man United. The double pivot is hard to predict honestly. I'll say Vitinha and Bernardo Silva as the double pivot but feel free to disagree. Left-back: Nuno Mendes, right-back: Diogo Dalot, let's move on. Gonçalo Inácio and Tomás Araújo would be my choice for the CB pairing. I don't know why Roberto Martínez is going with 4 goalkeepers, but either José Sá or Diogo Costa will be in goal. @FIFAWorldCup @WorldCup26HQ @windowintlpod #WorldCup

🚨🇵🇹 OFFICIAL: Portugal final World Cup squad has been released by Roberto Martínez.

@ManagerTactical Possibly yes. If Estêvão and Rodrygo were healthy, Rayan and Gabriel Martinelli wouldn't be called up. Maybe Luiz Henrique would also be ommitted for Neymar to get a spot on the roster.

One has to wonder, would Neymar have made the 🇧🇷 roster if Estevao and Rodrygo were healthy? 🤔

@WorldCup26HQ This is a LEGENDARY XI.

The Greatest World Cup Team Of All Time 🏆 Do you agree? 🤔

@masoudkr @FabrizioRomano Apologies 😅. Didn't see his name.

@PhysiogenixPT @FabrizioRomano Very confusing as Igor was selected

🚨🇧🇷 OFFICIAL: Brazil release full World Cup squad by Carlo Ancelotti. ✅ Neymar Jr ✅ Alisson ✅ Endrick ❌ João Pedro ❌ Bento ❌ Andrey Santos ❌ Thiago Silva

Fermín López most likely has a Jones fracture in his right foot. The fracture occurs at the base of the 5th metatarsal (long bone in the foot), and is very painful when walking or running. The surgery involves placing a surgical screw down the center of the bone to stabilize the fracture. Recovery usually takes about 6 weeks on average. A big blow to Spain 🇪🇸. @WorldCup26HQ @FIFAWorldCup @windowintlpod #WorldCup

@USMNTOtaku Just pray that Chris Richards only has a moderate ankle bone bruise or mild lateral ankle sprain at worst. If the scans show either a medial ankle sprain, high-grade lateral ankle sprain (grade II or worse), or an ankle fracture; Chris will miss the World Cup #USMNT

Here’s an updated version of my preferred USMNT squad for the 2026 World Cup. What’s yours?

@Michael81267864 @USMNTOtaku No, he's recently chosen to represent Germany 🇩🇪

@USMNTOtaku I don't follow this stuff that closely but is Banks committed to playing for US?

Let's get the easy part out of the way first: the midfield. Curaçao's🇨🇼offense flows through the Bacuna brothers. The bulk of the chance creation and assists usually comes from either Leandro or Juninho. Place Juninho at central mid or CAM, Leandro at CDM or out wide, then tack on Livano Comenencia....done. Attack is where things get a it more interesting for manager Dirk "Dick" Advocaat. Naturally, Volendam striker Brandley Kuwas will be the central forward for the tournament. There are 4 solid options at winger: Tahith Chong, Jeremy Antonisse, Kenji Gorré, and Sontje Hansen. I have no clue who will be playing out wide🤷‍♂️. Juriën Gaari looks locked in as one of the center-backs (probably the right center-back). I may get some pushback here, but I like Roshon van Eijma as the other center-back over Riechedly Bazoer. Sherel Floranus is the starting left-back no question with either Joshua Brenet or Shurandy Sambo as the right-back. Sambo is more athletic and offensively inclined, but Brenet is more experienced and a better defender. There needs to be a legitimate discussion about the goalkeeper position. You could start Elroy Room due to experience, sure. However, he ate 7 goals in the last window against China 🇨🇳 and Australia 🇦🇺 (not all his fault, I know, but not a good look). I'm just saying maybe give Trevor Doornbusch a look despite the fact he's behind Youri Schoonderwaldt on the depth chart at VVV-Venlo. @WorldCup26HQ @FIFAWorldCup @windowintlpod #WorldCup

🚨🇨🇼 OFFICIAL: Curaçao release 2026 World Cup.

The strength of the squad is the midfield like at the last World Cup. The ageless Luka Modrić will play in his 5th World Cup absolute legend. Croatia's 🇭🇷 midfield core remains intact though I don't see Marcelo Brozović. Zlatko Dalić is rolling with Inter Milan's Petar Sučić and Mateo Kovačić in defensive midfield. Dominik Livaković is the first choice goalkeeper as he's a solid shotstopper plus good with his feet. If Croatia stays with the back 3 as we saw in their last 2 friendlies vs. Brazil 🇧🇷 and Colombia 🇨🇴; Luka Vušković, Martin Erlic, and Duje Ćaleta-Car will like be the starting center-backs. Joško Gvardiol and Josip Stanišić would be my picks for the wingbacks, but the versatile Marco Pašalić is also an option. Attack is the biggest question mark for me 🤔: Do you start Ante Budimir or Petar Musa as the lone striker in a 5-4-1? Do you start Musa and Budimir together in a 3-5-2 because both their clubs have played with 2 strikers up top before? Then what you do with Ivan Perišić? Zlatko has some tough decisions to make. @WorldCup26HQ @FIFAWorldCup @windowintlpod #WorldCup

🚨🇭🇷 OFFICIAL: Croatia squad for the World Cup has been released.

BIG BLOW TO #USMNT @11Yanks @ManagerTactical @Eyesandvibes @USMNTOtaku @usmntonly @StarsStripesFC @usmntaut @USMNT_Thoughts @FOXSoccer

CORRECTION: This is Pulisic's 2nd goal involvement in 2026. He had an assist vs. Torino on March 21. Thanks to @Paul_Campbell6 for bringing this to my attention. Apologies 😅. @11Yanks @ManagerTactical @Eyesandvibes @USMNTOtaku @usmntonly @StarsStripesFC @usmntaut @USMNT_Thoughts @FOXSoccer

@PhysiogenixPT @11Yanks @ManagerTactical @Eyesandvibes @USMNTOtaku @usmntonly @StarsStripesFC @usmntaut @USMNT_Thoughts @FOXSoccer No, it isn't the American's first goal involvement in 2026

In the 81st minute of AC Milan's match vs. Genoa, Christian Pulisic sets up Zachary Athekame for a goal. It's the American's 🇺🇸 first goal involvement of 2026. @11Yanks @ManagerTactical @Eyesandvibes @USMNTOtaku @usmntonly @StarsStripesFC @usmntaut @USMNT_Thoughts @FOXSoccer

João Pedro was subbed off for Alejandro Garnacho due to a leg injury. Pedro looked to be in some discomfort as he left the pitch. Brazil 🇧🇷 has suffered multiple injuries to their attack. This is worth monitoring over the next couple of days. @WorldCup26HQ @FIFAWorldCup #EmiratesFACup #WorldCup #CFC
