The Cup’s Decisive Eleven

01 / 8 Editor’s Choice
Argentina

Messi, the conductor.

Inter Miami’s No.10 has stopped trying to win games alone — exactly why Argentina look so dangerous.

02 / 8
Argentina

Lautaro, the new spine.

Inter’s captain finishes what Messi starts. Scaloni now plays both, and the data is absurd.

03 / 8
USA

Pulisic, finally home.

His Milan form is a career-best. A home World Cup arrives at exactly the right moment for the captain.
