World Cup History
Romero was a key defender throughout Qatar 2022, starting in the knockout rounds as Argentina marched to the title. His aggressive style and reading of the game anchored a defense that kept clean sheets against Australia and Croatia in the knockouts. At 28 and in his prime at Tottenham, Romero is the first-choice centre-back alongside the aging Otamendi. His physical presence will be crucial against the tournament's best attackers.

Value Pick
Over 2.5 Tournament Goals looks like the play. Pulisic's 0.05 G/90 rate this season, combined with being the primary creator and penalty taker for a home nation expected to go deep, makes this line hittable. In 2022 he scored the biggest goal of the tournament for the US despite only playing ~240 minutes. With a projected 420+ minutes in 2026, the math favors the over.
