In Episode 3 of The Kit Room, we take on a big question: is the United States actually ready for the FIFA World Cup 2026?
We break it down from both sides—starting with the country itself. From infrastructure and fan culture to whether the U.S. can truly deliver the atmosphere a World Cup deserves, we debate if the stage is set for one of the biggest tournaments in the world.
Then we flip to the pitch and ask the real question: is the USMNT ready to compete when it matters most? We get into expectations, pressure, and what success should actually look like on home soil.
It's a mix of big-picture debate, honest takes, and a reality check on where U.S. soccer stands heading into 2026.
