Our first look at the USMNT this tournament. How do we think that’s gonna go? Meanwhile, Bayern Munich’s Sadio Mané will be a huge miss for Senegal but he’s not the only one who can play — FC Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong and his Netherlands teammates should have their hands full. And it’s England who will have the first try at breaking down Iran’s defense. Will Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane stake an early claim towards the Golden Boot?
