The U.S. Men’s National Team plays in in Group G, widely regarded as this tournament’s “Group of Death.” The U.S. has its first World Cup action June 16 vs. familiar foe Ghana, who knocked them out of the 2010 World Cup with a 2-1 extra time win in the Round of 16 and defeated them in group play four years earlier. Things will only get tougher for the U.S. in the remaining group matches against Portugal June 22 and Germany June 26.
