World Cup History

Musah started all three group games at Qatar 2022, becoming one of the youngest midfielders in the tournament at just 19. His ball-carrying and press resistance were crucial to the US controlling possession against Wales and England.

Born in New York, raised in London and Italy, Musah chose the US over England — a decision that adds narrative weight to his home World Cup story. At AC Milan, he's developed into a complete midfielder.

Value Pick

Over 2.5 Tournament Goals looks like the play. Pulisic's 0.07 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.
