USA are keen to get their Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign off to a winning start when they take on Wales in their Group B opener.
The United States missed out on the 2018 edition after a disappointing and shocking loss to Trinidad and Tobago in their final qualifier.
Wales on the other hand have not been at the World Cup finals for 64 years, dating back to the 1958 edition in Sweden.
The Welsh Dragons made it to Qatar through grueling playoffs, beating Austria and Ukraine with 2-1 and 1-0 victories respectively.
Wales have progressed out of the group stage in their last two major tournament appearances, Euro 2016 and Euro 2020.
USA have reached the knockout round in 4 of their last 7 tournament appearances, but have failed to beat European opposition in their previous 9 attempts.
Both teams have a host of exciting talent in their squads that are more than capable of guiding their individual nations past the group stage and it begins here.
