Hello, Sunshine. I'm Alexie Lalas and welcome for the State of the Union show presented by Zillow.

Someday starts today. This is where we look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens of red, white, and blue-colored glasses.

On today's show, oh yeah, we're previewing the USA's group kicking off in a matter of days.

That would be Group D.

But first, join me as always, my friend, my colleague, my guiding light, David Mosse, a soccer savant and a Fox Soccer researcher and writer extraordinaire. Massey, you ready to light this candle on Group D? Let's do it. All right, take us through it. Group D includes co-host, the United States,

who we talk about in every show,

so we won't spend too much time on them here,

but Marisa, take us through it group d includes uh co-host the united states who we talk about in every show

so we won't spend too much time on them here but marissa pogetino in charge got to the round

of 16 in katar we'll see if they can go farther on home soil uh their opening match is against

paraguay june 12 at sofi stadium in los angeles paraguay back on the world cup the first time since 2010.

And then you've got Turkey, who a lot of people, including me, think could be a sleeper this summer. They got to the quarterfinals of the last Euros, a lot of young talents. So fascinating group. Like I said, we'll whip through the U.S. quickly, but any thoughts there that you haven't said on our regular pods? Look, we know our audience. We talk about the U.S. all the time, and we will talk about the U.S. obviously in depth as we lead up to the first game. So we're not going to spend too much time. I just will say this and I will reiterate it. You'll hear me say it again. Given this group, I would take this group over most of the groups, if not all of the groups that we have ever had in a World Cup, which means you should expect this U.S. team to win this group.

Is this the best collection of players?

That remains to be seen.

But this is, again, a generation that has been given absolutely everything. And so I think

there are fair expectations, but higher expectations than we have ever had. As I mentioned,
