Superb in opener
McKennie recorded three crosses and three chances created in Friday's 4-1 win over Paraguay.
Analysis: McKennie had a great outing Friday despite not picking up a goal contribution, as the midfielder played the full 90 in an influential role. He controlled much of the play through the middle, especially after Christian Pulisic's exit. This would lead to three chances created and numerous chances carved out, as his cross even led to the early own goal, a good sign moving forward.
Set for big role in World Cup
McKennie is expected to play a big role in the USMNT midfield during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: McKennie has proven to be a tactical wildcard for Mauricio Pochettino, as he can fill several roles in midfield, but he should play in central midfield next to Tyler Adams and behind Christian Pulisic if everybody is fit for the June 12 opener against Paraguay. McKennie was a regular starter for Juventus in 2025/26, tallying nine goals and six assists across 46 appearances between the Serie A and the UEFA Champions League. He should be an intriguing fantasy option in midfield due to his goalscoring prowess and also his ability to contribute in peripheral categories.
