On 1 July in Santa Clara, with the United States down to ten men and Bosnia and Herzegovina pushing for a way back in, Tillman put a free kick past the wall and into the net. It was the first direct free-kick goal an American man had scored at a World Cup in 32 years, since Eric Wynalda against Switzerland in 1994. He was Man of the Match. Five days later in Seattle, against Belgium, he did it again.
Nobody expected the 17 to be the shirt of this tournament. It was.
Tillman was born in Germany and learned the game there, at Greuther Fürth and then in Bayern Munich's academy alongside his older brother Timothy. He played German youth football from under-15 all the way to under-21. He is American because his father served in the United States Armed Forces, was stationed in Germany, and met Tillman's German mother there.
The club career reads like a tour of Europe. He scored on his Bayern first-team debut in a 12-0 cup win. He went to Rangers on loan and was voted PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year. He moved to PSV and won the Eredivisie twice. Then, in July 2025, Bayer Leverkusen paid a reported €35 million for him, a club record, and the second-highest fee ever paid for an American footballer.
He was signed to fill the hole Florian Wirtz left. It did not go smoothly, and he lost his place. Mauricio Pochettino moved him from the ten to the eight for the national team and he has been a different player since. Tim Ream says he does the dirty things that make the team work.
Both 2026 designs are here with his nameset. The home, nicknamed Stripes, is a Sail base cut through with wavy red bands that trace back to the 1994 kit from the last time the United States hosted, finished with custom Stars and Stripes number fonts. The away, Stars, is a deep obsidian with a star pattern built into the knit and metallic silver on the crest, the numbers, and the Swoosh.
Worth knowing: these are the first U.S. Soccer kits co-designed with direct player input from start to finish, after the squad pushed back on the 2022 designs and asked for a real say. Tillman's Match Authentic versions of both use Nike's Aero-FIT, a stitch-specific knitting process that opens and closes mesh zones across the shirt for airflow. Slim fit, heat-applied badge, $205. For the full range in Stadium and youth sizing, see the United States World Cup 2026 collection.
The Tillman 25/26 away, in Obsidian and Challenge Red, is a different kit from the tournament away, and it carries Gold Cup 2025 patches. That patch matters for him specifically. The 2025 Gold Cup was where Tillman went from squad player to starter: three goals across the run, including one against Trinidad and Tobago and one against Haiti, plus the penalty that settled the shootout against Costa Rica.
