USA face tricky 2022 FIFA World Cup draw

The USA undoubtedly have a talented squad. They also largely sailed through their qualifying campaign, losing just twice in 14 matches to finish with 25 points.

It was good enough for the third spot in the CONCACAF qualifying table and direct qualification into the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

However, in what will be their first men's World Cup appearance since 2014, they have been handed a tricky draw. The USA have been drawn alongside England, Wales and Iran in Group B.

The Three Lions will be favorites to top the group, which could leave the Stars and Stripes fighting with the Welsh side for the second spot.

Greg Berlharter's side will kick off their World Cup campaign against Wales on November 21. They will then take on England on November 25 before closing their group-stage sojourn with a clash against Iran on November 29.
