"Why not us?" That's the mantra that United States men's national team coach Mauricio Pocchetino has used to motivate his team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted on home soil (along with Canada and Mexico) this summer. But how realistic is that objective for the U.S. with less than two months before the World Cup starts? It's a question put forth to three former USA coaches in the first of FOX Sports' special roundtable series previewing the tournaments highly anticipated return to North America this summer. "Obviously, if you set out the highest bar, theres nothing wrong with this," former United States men's national team coach Jrgen Klinsmann said. "But in order to win a World Cup, it takes such a high capability of suffering and going through difficult times in specific moments, to play every three or four days once you get into the knockout phase." Klinsmann's U.S. side was knocked out in the Round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil after finishing as the runner-up in the "Group of Death" with Germany, Ghana and Portugal. He previously led Germany to a third-place finish as its coach in 2006 and was named German Football Manager of the Year for his efforts with the national team. He also won a World Cup title as a Germany player in 1990. "When you think you go through the Round of 16 or the quarterfinals, you think, Oh, now were really there,'" Klinsmann said. "Then comes an even more difficult game with extra time and maybe a penalty shootout. The thing is: Is our team ready to really, extremely suffer? Are we ready to go through the extreme of going one game at a time? "You see a lot of top soccer nations in the world are just not capable [of going] past the fifth game, like Mexico and quinto partido. They dont have the belief to go past the fifth game or go into the fifth game and now you have one more game because of this tournament." The United States men's national team hasn't won a knockout stage match at the World Cup since 2002, and it has only advanced to the semifinals once, at the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the USA lost, 3-1, to Netherlands in the Round of 16, with a roster that had the second-lowest average age (25.2) at the tournament. While USA's roster is expected to feature many of the same key players this summer, the expectations will be much higher. "After Qatar, we liked that team," said Bob Bradley, who coached the U.S. at the 2010 World Cup. "Those guys were really likable. Now, in this next period, were expecting more, and theres been some ups and downs. Of course, Mauricio comes in without a full cycle, they dont get as many opportunities to play against big teams, but I still think we believe in this group. The optimism that they can come together at the right time and do something that is special I think we all believe in that." Some of that optimism stems from the number of Americans playing club soccer in Europe's top-flight leagues and competing in the UEFA Champions League. When Bradley coached the United States at the 2010 World Cup, there were only three Americans playing in the Champions League; this year there were eight, with one Atltico Madrid midfielder Johnny Cardoso still competing in the semifinals. "We look around now, and we see that Christian [Pulisic] is doing so well in Europe [at AC Milan]; Weston [McKennie] is having an incredible year [at Juventus]; we see guys like Johnny Cardoso and what he does at Atltico; thats a reason that people get excited," Bradley said. "The more guys you have playing in the Champions League, the better." Playing in the Champions League also gives the stars of the U.S. men's national team a valuable perspective that they wouldn't have otherwise. "I think the players know now more than ever before what it will take to go all the way until the end; to book your hotel, as we Germans do, all the way to the final, and if you have to cancel the hotels or the flights, we cancel them because were flying home after the quarterfinal," Klinsmann said. "Its a cultural element that I see the U.S. growing into more and more and more. "Twenty or 30 years ago, [American players] were also in Europe. But now theyre in the Champions League and the Champions League is different. Now, we have five to seven players there, and that gives me the feeling that, if they really build exceptional chemistry, if they get along, if they help each other when things get nasty and dirty and it will get nasty and dirty then maybe they can really surprise one game at a time." The United States will have two warm-up matches against Senegal and Germany, two teams that are higher in the FIFA world rankings, ahead of its World Cup opener against Paraguay on June 12 at Los Angeles Stadium. Pochettino's side will be hoping to use those matches as an opportunity to snap their three-match losing streak and build some positive momentum going into the tournament, but form is fallacy at the World Cup, according to former USA coach Steve Sampson. "I truly believe that when the moment comes that theyre playing against Paraguay, thats when it all has to come together," said Sampson, who coached the U.S. at the 1998 World Cup and was an assistant for the 1994 tournament in the U.S. "The leadership of this team has to pull the team together and say, Look, forget about whats happened before.'" For Klinsmann, that short-term memory is "the art" behind success at the World Cup: "You have to forget about what you just did right away." And if they do that? "I dont think theres an easy path, but as long as they get some momentum in those first games, I think they can do something special," Sampson said. 2026 FIFA World Cup: How To Watch The World Cup will run from June 11July 19, 2026.

DENVER (AP) Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche have every right to feel a bit stifled. Known for their speed and prodigious goal production, it hasn't been on full display so far in the playoffs. The highest-scoring, fastest-flying team on the ice this season just can't seem to completely solve the lock-down, muck-up-the-middle approach of the Los Angeles Kings. The top five point producers in the regular season for Colorado have yet to find the back of the net. Still, the Avalanche lead the first-round series 2-0 heading to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Thursday. They have won both games in 2-1 fashion, including an OT thriller, which highlights their belief that whether a game or a series is low scoring or high scoring, they are built for both. You definitely can get frustrated during the regular season, but playoffs theres no time for that, said MacKinnon, who has an assist through two games after leading the league with 53 goals in the regular season. You've got to be 100% in, team-player positive, and youve just got to stick with it. I feel like were doing a lot of good things and were up to it. It's low-scoring games, but its not about the amount of goals. Just got to get some wins."Colorado led the league in goals per game (3.63), shots per game (33.7) and 5-on-5 scoring in the regular season but the Presidents' Trophy winners also allowed the fewest goals behind their goalie tandem, which currently has Scott Wedgewood starring in the lead role.Were comfortable playing these games, said captain Gabriel Landeskog, who tied Tuesday's game with 3:35 left in regulation. "If you get a little impatient with it, you start forcing plays. We just kind of kept it going. Kept trusting our forecheck, and finally, we ended up getting rewarded for it.The Kings may be in a hole, but trust their process. A grind-it-out, goals-hard-to-come-by series is definitely their kind of series. Especially with Anton Forsberg in net. He's stop 64 of 68 shots through two games.Were playing a brand of hockey that gives us a chance to win," said Kings interim coach D.J. Smith, who was showered by shattered glass on the bench in the second period Tuesday after fans pushed the panel in celebration. "Hockeys so close and night-to-night, you win by a goal, lose by a goal. Weve done that all year. We havent maybe had some bounces but thats the kind of game you can win with," he said. "Thats a testament to the guys and how theyre digging in. Now maybe just have a little more confidence at home with the puck, but you cant forget the style of play that were playing.They're bottling up the Avalanche on the power play, with Colorado 0 for 7 in the series. That's been an area of consternation at times throughout the season.It may look real simple its no different than what theyre doing but youve got to repeat certain things enough so your odds go up at putting one in the back of the net, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. I still think weve got another step in our game that we can ramp up to. So we've just got to go out and try to better our performances at home and now on the road. The Avalanche have shown their defensive grit by notching the second-most blocks in the postseason through Tuesday night. They've flashed their offensive firepower, too, with the the second-most total shot attempts.We know we can play different styles, said Wedgewood, who's turned back 48 of 50 shots. Its going to be tough going to (their) building. They're going to have their crowd and their emotions. Go in there and do the same thing, hopefully, take another one or two, and end it or come back here and do it again.___AP NHL playoffs: https://apnews.com/hub/stanley-cup and https://apnews.com/hub/nhl
