The United States men’s national team have a chance to rotate on Sunday when they face Haiti at the Gold Cup, as they have already secured their spot in the knockout stages. Haiti will be up for the match since they need to win to have a chance at getting out of the group, but that will allow Mauricio Pochettino a chance to see other members of the squad as he determines how the 2026 World Cup squad will look.
Despite not having top options available, the goal is still for the USMNT to win the Gold Cup, and to do that, they’ll need as much depth as possible. Haji Wright has departed the squad with an Achilles injury and will undego treatment with Coventry City. He can be replaced during the knockout stage, but it’s unknown if Pochettino will opt to do that or roll with the current squad.
Here are storylines, how you can watch the match and more:

Last meeting
These two sides last met in this very competition in 2021. The United States were able to get the win via an eighth-minute goal from Sam Vines. Miles Robinson, Matt Turner, and Walker Zimmerman were in the XI for that match and are the only players from that roster who are in this current one. With rotation, there’s a chance that Robinson and Zimmerman could start this edition to provide rest for the starters.
USMNT predicted lineups
USMNT: Matt Freese, John Tolkin, Miles Robinson, Walker Zimmerman, Alex Freeman, Tyler Adams, Johnny Cardoso, Diego Luna, Brenden Aaronson, Quinn Sullivan, Brian White
Player to watch
Brenden Aaronson, USMNT: With strong sub appearances in the first two matches, Aaronson is someone who can get back into the regular squad via this camp. He hasn’t played much under Pochettino, but when taking into account Aaronson’s work rate, he’s someone who could impress the Argentine during extended time in camp. Scoring or assisting against Haiti would go quite a way to helping raise Aaronson’s stock during a critical time.
Storyline to watch
It’s time to stay healthy: While winning is the goal, the USMNT will also want to avoid injuries in this clash. Tyler Adams may be back but Wright is injured while Damion Downs also picked up an injury in the match facing Saudi Arabia. With such a thin squad at his disposal, Pochettino will want to head into the knockouts with everyone available.
Prediction
Between White and Aaronson, the USMNT will have enough to get the job done. Haiti have improved in international play, but the attack won’t have enough to pull out a win on Sunday as they’re eliminated from the Gold Cup during the group stage. Pick: USMNT 3, Haiti 0
