Something that I haven’t seen mentioned is the fact that one of the round of sixteen games will be in Philly on July 4th definitely see FIFA trying to set up a US-England matchup if both teams make it to the knockout rounds



It'd be a cool story, but also a lot would have to work out for that, considering there is now a Round of 32 knockout round before that.

They should do everything in its power to ensure that, if the USMNT reach that far, they should be playing on July 4th.

It would be the most watched soccer match in the history of America.

In 2022, 64 matches were played to decide the world champion.

In 2026, 72 matches will be played to decide which 16 countries won't make the last-32 round.

I’m sure we played Brazil on July 4th in 1994.

I’m not sure what all goes into scheduling games but I’d imagine FIFA would try their best to make it to where the US and England are set up next to each other should they make the round of 32
