The United States missed out on the World Cup in Russia 4 years ago, but the Stars and Stripes return to the world stage with an interesting matchup against a nation that has endured a much longer absence from the World Cup, Wales.
The British team last reached the World Cup finals in 1958 and this will be just the Dragons’ second appearance in the tournament. Wales reached the semifinals of the European Championship in 2016 and is still led by former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale, fresh from his MLS Cup win with LAFC.
Wales provides an awkward first test for the Americans on Monday (2:00pm ET, FS1, Peacock, Telemundo) and we have picked out a Same Game Parlay for what should be an ultra-competitive matchup.
