The United States Men’s National Team kicked off their World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw with Wales in the opening match of group stage play. After a solid first half that included taking the lead on a wonderful Timothy Weah goal it looked like the US might be able to hang on and capture all three points. Unfortunately they would stumble in the second half and have to settle for the draw and one point from the match. There were a few worthy candidates for the Man of the Match, with Weah picking up the goal, Christian Pulisic the assist, and Tim Ream putting in the sort of match at center back that fans have been clamoring for.
