USA start Pepi, Dest and Tillman against Australia

The United States face Australia in the second World Cup group match on Thursday, with kickoff at 21:00. The Americans come off a 4‑1 win over Paraguay, while the Australians, fresh from a 2‑0 victory against Turkey, will start Ricardo Pepi, Sergino Dest and Malik Tillman, with Jordan Bos in the Australian line‑up.

Ricardo Pepi and Sergino Dest, both contracted to PSV, will start for the United States. They join fellow PSV player Malik Tillman in the attacking line‑up.

Australia’s starting eleven includes Jordan Bos, a standout from Feyenoord. Bos’s inclusion adds Eredivisie experience to the Australian side.

The United States entered the tournament as the host nation and opened with a dominant 4‑1 victory over Paraguay. That win set a strong tone for their campaign.

Australia, meanwhile, secured a 2‑0 win against Turkey in their opening match. The result demonstrated their defensive solidity.

A win, or even a draw, would see the United States progress to the knockout stage. Australia will be aiming for the same reward.
