U.S. World Cup Team Training Base (IRVINE, Calif.) — As a strictly practical matter, it’s no secret that the Stars and Stripes don’t need to win — or even tie — Thursday’s first round finale against already eliminated Türkiye. It’s a right Mauricio Pochettino’s squad has earned. By winning their first two games at a World Cup for the first time in 96 years, the Americans not only advanced to […]

The USMNT is 2-0 in Group D play, already wrapping up first place. Türkiye is surprisingly 0-2 and cannot advance, regardless of the result in Thursday night’s match. Yet bettors are piling on the USA, which has never gone 3-0 in World Cup group play. "We have seen […]

Some of the biggest names in INDYCAR — including a past champion and Indianapolis 500 winners — could be on the move after the 2026 season. June is the time when talks often begin as option clauses often kick in or exclusive negotiating periods begin and/or end.
