Draw for next summer's tournament was held earlier today. Here was how the draw ended up:



Tournament is being co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, which will likely mean a lot of odd start times in this part of the world. All of the U.S. group stage matches will be played in New Zealand. The Group A play-off winner that will be put into the U.S.'s group will be either Cameroon, Thailand, or Portugal. The Group B play-off winner that will go into England's group will be either Senegal, Haiti, or Chile. The Group C play-off winner that will go into France's group will be either Chinese Taipei, Paraguay, Papua New Guinea, or Panama.

The U.S. opens play on July 22 in Auckland vs. Vietnam.
