When it comes to the U.S. mens national team, there are plenty of players in the pool who fans are keeping regular tabs on. Beyond the best-friend trio of Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie, there are other players who'll be under the spotlight with only 100 days before the World Cup begins. USA manager Mauricio Pochettino will name his 26-man roster in May, and well get a glimpse of what that looks like in a few weeks when the team convenes for training camp at the end of March. The window features two matches against European powers Belgium (March 28) and Portugal (March 31) in Atlanta, and Pochettino has notably said that the World Cup begins for his team in March. Between now and then and really, up until Pochettino makes his final roster decision there will be players to keep an eye on. How are they performing with their clubs? Are they healthy? How do they fit into Pochettinos plans? The three players fit that bill and are worth monitoring between now and when the USA opens up World Cup play on June 12 against Paraguay: Folarin Balogun, Striker The USA has had a striker problem for years. Theres no Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe or Harry Kane or Cristiano Ronaldo in this player pool. That was an issue four years ago when former manager Gregg Berhalter brought three strikers to the World Cup in Qatar Jesus Ferreira, Josh Sargent and Haji Wright. Only Wright scored a goal, and it was by accident in the round of 16 loss to the Netherlands. [WHEN AND WHERE: Full Schedule for 2026 FIFA World Cup] The U.S. has long been in search of a reliable, clinical finisher up top. Could Balogun be that guy this summer? Right now, he appears to be Pochettinos top choice. In the "what have you done for me lately?" category, Balogun scored as Monaco beat Angers 2-0 in a Ligue 1 match on Saturday. Hes now scored four goals in his last four games for Monaco, bringing his total up to 12 across all competitions this season. Is he hitting his stride just in time to make his first World Cup roster? That seems to be the case for the 24-year-old, who has scored eight goals in 23 appearances for the USA. Antonee "Jedi" Robinson, Fullback Fans should be quite familiar with Jedi. He started every World Cup match four years ago at left back for the U.S., and has been a steady presence on the back line. He was considered the top left back in the Premier League last year as well. But the Fulham star has been hampered by injuries. First there was a knee issue, which required surgery and kept him out of the national team for nearly a year, including missing last summers Gold Cup. He returned to the fold in October, but experienced another setback. He returned to Fulham in December, but has been on the bench recently while recovering from an ankle issue. Fulham head coach Marco Silva previously said he didnt think Robinsons ankle problem was serious, but well see what this means in terms of playing for Pochettino in March. When Robinson has been out, Pochettino has relied on Columbus Crew's Max Arfsten and Marseille's Tim Weah at left wing back, so they may end up starting in his stead if hes injured. Robinsons health will be monitored under a microscope for the next several months because when he is fit, hes one of the most important players Pochettino has in his pool. Matt Freese, Goalkeeper The goalkeeping situation is not 100% set, but Freese seems to have a leg up. He made his international debut last June ahead of the Gold Cup and started the USA's final 12 games of 2025. He unseated Matt Turner, who was the starter for the Americans at the last World Cup, and hasnt looked back. Now, Turner isnt giving up on starting at this summers tournament. Hes going to keep doing everything possible to prove to Pochettino and his staff why he should be the starter. Plus, he moved back to MLS from the Premier League to get more consistent playing time and so far hes getting it with the New England Revolution. But its hard to imagine Freese relinquishing his spot on top. Hes been consistent for the USA and for NYCFC, and Pochettino is a fan. But it will be interesting to watch the competition brew because you know Turner wants that spot back.

Long-serving Northern Ireland midfielder Nadene Caldwell says the team will be "keen to get some early points on the board" and "build up a bit of momentum" to boost their qualification campaign for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.The squad kick off their group matches by taking on Switzerland on Tuesday, before welcoming Turkey to Mourneview Park on Saturday.Interim manager Kris Lindsay is taking charge of the side for at least the first pair of 2027 qualifiers as the search for Tanya Oxtoby's permanent successor continues.Northern Ireland will play Malta home and away in April, before ending the series with further fixtures against Turkey and Switzerland."This is going to be a very tough group and for us that starts against Switzerland, before our full focus will turn to Turkey," Caldwell told BBC Sport NI's Nicola McCarthy."For us it's important to try and get some points on the board early so that the team can kick on in confidence and really kick on the campaign."It's a crammed fixture list but we must try to build up a bit of momentum."Caldwell added that the opener against Switzerland represents a tough start but welcomes the opportunity for the side to test themselves against top opposition."The main thing for us is that we're getting competitive games and you can measure yourself against the best players in the world. That can only make you better as a player. "Take the positives from one game and move onto the next, and hopefully we can go on a good run."Switzerland, top seeds away from home...a difficult fixture but I would say the pressure is all on them. They're top seeds and we know we're going to have to absorb a lot of pressure at times."'We have to use the ball well'Northern Ireland are second seeds in the group and Caldwell says the hope is that position will be reflected in the qualifying table come the end of the campaign."We want to be second in the group. That's where we are seeded and anything else would be a disappointment."Turkey will be a massive test for us, in and around us in the rankings, so we'll really look forward to that, but we're fully focused on Switzerland first."We have to use the ball well when we have it and go and express ourselves and really show what it means to play for Northern Ireland."With regular captain Simone Magill taking time out from the game as she is pregnant, Caldwell is unsure who will assume the skipper's armband in her absence, and whether Lindsay will remain at the helm for April's matches."It's not something we've spoken about [the captaincy] - there are a lot of great leaders within the group and that leadership role can come in any shape or form."We obviously don't know what's happening with Kris but we'll fully focus on these two games and then we'll regroup for the rest of the campaign."
