Who Makes the 26? Vote on Your USMNT World Cup Roster

Every Weekend Matters

Every single matchday — across the Premier League, Serie A, the Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, the Championship, Eredivisie, and MLS — Americans are quietly making or breaking their World Cup cases. Pulisic's form at Milan. Tillman's rise at Bayer Leverkusen. Dest creating chances at PSV. Pepi racing back from injury in Eindhoven. Weah pressing like a demon at Marseille. Tessmann grinding out minutes at Lyon. Aaronson running the show at Bournemouth.

And it's not just the Europeans. Luna is tearing up MLS. Roldan's numbers are elite. Freese is making a case as the number one keeper at NYCFC. Every league, every weekend, the picture shifts.

You're watching all of this. You have opinions. Strong ones. Now you can do something with them.

Build Your 26

We just launched a community roster vote on our USMNT World Cup 2026 tracker. It's simple: pick the 26 players you think Pochettino should take to the World Cup. No account required. Just your football knowledge and your gut.

Once you vote, you'll see the Community Consensus — a real-time view of how everyone's votes stack up, broken down by position. Who does the community think is a lock at goalkeeper? Which midfielders are consensus picks, and which ones are sparking debate? Are fans higher on the MLS contingent than the pundits?

It's the argument you've been having in group chats and Reddit threads, but with actual data behind it.

How It Works

Step 1: Head to the World Cup 2026 tracker and hit "Start Building Your Roster."

Step 2: Browse the full player pool — all 49 tracked players across every major league. Tap players to add them to your 26. You need exactly 3 goalkeepers and 23 outfield players.

Step 3: Once you've picked your 26, submit your roster at the bottom of the page.

Step 4: Check the Community Consensus to see how everyone's votes stack up — the top vote-getters at each position group so you can see exactly where the community agrees and where it's divided.

What Makes This Different

This isn't a "pick your Starting XI" widget. It's a full 26-man roster builder backed by real data.

Every player in the pool has a live profile with current-season stats pulled from top-flight leagues across the world: FotMob ratings, goals, assists, form trends, injury status, and our calculated roster probability. So when you're debating whether Busio's 7.55 Serie A rating at Venezia earns him a spot over Cardoso's upside at Atletico Madrid, you've got the numbers right there.

The consensus updates in real time. As more people vote, the picture gets sharper. We break it down by position group so you can see the clearest locks and the biggest battlegrounds.

The Debates We're Watching

Here are the roster battles playing out across Europe and MLS right now that make this vote interesting:

The Bundesliga breakout: Malik Tillman at Bayer Leverkusen has a 7.30 FotMob rating — better than Pulisic. He's gone from role player to near-lock. Does the community agree?

The Serie A sleeper: Gianluca Busio at Venezia has the highest FotMob rating of any American abroad (7.55). Five goals from midfield in a league that eats midfielders alive. Is the community buying it?

The Ligue 1 grind: Tessmann at Lyon, Balogun at Monaco, Weah at Marseille — three Americans in France's top flight all fighting for roster spots. How does the community rate them?

MLS vs. Europe: Luna (9 goals, 7.26 rating), Roldan (7.43 rating), Berhalter (10 assists) — the MLS numbers are screaming. But will Pochettino pick domestic-league players over European options with less impressive stats?

The injury gambles: Reyna, Pepi, Cardoso — all carrying injury concerns. Do you pick on talent and pray they're fit, or go with the guys who are available every weekend? The Eredivisie, La Liga, and Bundesliga injury reports matter here.

The Championship wild cards: Agyemang (9 goals at Derby), Sargent (8 goals at Norwich) — England's second tier is producing strikers. Do they deserve a look?

Cast Your Vote

The World Cup is 108 days away. The preliminary squad goes to FIFA on May 11. The final 26 gets announced around May 26. Every weekend between now and then is an audition.
