Tyler Adams missed the Switzerland game but hopes to be back for this match against the Soca Warriors. where he could join Luca de la Torre or Johnny Cardoso in the midfield. Jack McGlynn scored against Turkiye, while Malik Tillman and Diego Luna were impressive in both games. Chris Richards should be back in the back line, but Pochettino could do just about anything given his team's poor form.
Trinidad and Tobago focus, team news
There's no Yorke in this team, though 40-year-old Marvin Phillip is still among the goalkeepers and 33-year-old Joevin Jones remains a club leader. Levi Garcia of Spartak Moscow is a threat up top, while Alvin Jones is still in the fold 7.5 years on from his USMNT-shocking brace in World Cup qualifying. Crystal Palace teenager Rio Cardines could be another player to watch during this tournament.
USMNT vs Trinidad and Tobago prediction
Would you take a two-goal win? What about a one-goal win? The Yanks could use a winning start and fans should expect one as long as they team doesn't show up thinking their jerseys are worth three points. Even this weakened side will be enough against T&T, perhaps by some margin. There's too much youth in this team to expect a 4-0, but USMNT 3-1 Trinidad and Tobago is not out of the question.

Liverpool have no Florian Wirtz alternative as truth about transfer spend emerges
Even before an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen had been reached over £116m Florian Wirtz, Liverpool were being subjected to the sniping of rivals. 'That's the last of the Phillippe Coutinho money' went the prod in the direction of the Premier League champions, with tongues firmly pressed into cheeks. The inference being, of course, that the Reds have somehow pretended to stretch the £142m fee received from Barcelona over seven years ago in an effort to present a false reality of a club who don't spend heavily in the transfer market. Advertisement For the avoidance of doubt, the sale of Coutinho in January 2018 did facilitate the arrivals of £75m Virgil van Dijk and £65m Alisson Becker, which, quite neatly rounded up to a nice, even £140m and almost directly led to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool going from pretenders to contenders and then serial winners of every major trophy between the years 2019 and 2022. READ MORE: Liverpool could have another mega transfer to come with dream signing and Arsenal hijack considered In short, the departure of the Brazil playmaker was one of the greatest deals in modern football. But, of course, Liverpool have not made a habit of such an extraordinary outlay that is being paid for Germany international Wirtz. In fact, only two senior players have officially been signed for the Reds since the transfer window closed in August 2023. Jeremie Frimpong's £29m release clause was triggered last month to add to the £12m addition of Federico Chiesa last year. Advertisement That means that the Reds have spent, inclusive of add-ons, £41m in two years. That is around £10m more than Brighton & Hove Albion have just paid to land Charalampos Kostoulas from Olympiakos. The imminent arrival of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, at £29m, takes the Reds to £70m on sporting director Richard Hughes's watch. Throw in the addition of Wirtz at £116m, which is, again, inclusive of all add-ons, and it takes Liverpool's spending in the Arne Slot era to £186m, which, while not an insignificant amount, pales in comparison to the likes of Chelsea, whose spendthrift model has seen them lay out the thick end of £350m during that same timeframe. Such has been the Londoners' disorienting level of recruitment, in fact, that they have named a 28-man squad for this month's Club World Cup and have still been able to omit £47.5m Raheem Sterling, £38.5m Axel Disasi, £45m Ben Chilwell and £45m Joao Felix. Manchester City, meanwhile, are careering towards a total of £320m themselves since the start of last season, while Manchester United continue to spend good money after bad on a string of players unsuited or ill equipped to perform at Old Trafford. Just the £209m spent last summer, for those keeping score. Advertisement Since the start of the decade, Liverpool sit outside the top 10 for money spent in the Premier League and the eye-watering and potential British-record addition of Germany international Wirtz only moves them into eighth, around £30m short of West Ham United. So no, the Coutinho is long gone at Anfield, spent wisely on two of the greatest players the club have ever had in Alisson and Van Dijk and that, ironically, is the level Wirtz is being viewed at internally at Anfield. That means the pressure is on immediately and at that sort of price, the pitch forks will be out from those hoping it falls on its face as hopelessly as many of those aforementioned Chelsea deals. But if a risk-averse and often parsimonious strategy to signings has taught anything over the last few years at Anfield, it's that Liverpool often get it right when it's time to spend big. For them, unlike some of their rivals, there is no alternative.

Mexico president calls for US immigration forces to spare fans at LA soccer game
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum sent a message to US immigration forces in Los Angeles, asking for grace for fans at the Mexico vs. Dominican Republic Gold Cup soccer game at SoFi Stadium Saturday. 'We don't believe that at any soccer match there will be any [immigration] action … we call for none to be taken by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement,' Sheinbaum said in a Friday press conference. Advertisement 'Mexico will always promote peace,' she added. A now-deleted post to social media post by US Customs and Border Protection stated a promise to be 'suited and booted' at the first round of Club World Cup soccer matches this week. In response to its social media post, the CBP said it regularly provides security at big sporting events. 'US Customs and Border Protection is committed to working with our local and federal partners to ensure the FIFA Club World Cup 25 is safe for everyone involved, as we do with every major sporting event, including the Super Bowl. Our mission remains unchanged,' it told The Associated Press on Thursday.
