Summary
The U.S. men's national soccer team faces a critical Round of 32 World Cup knockout match against Bosnia and Herzegovina at Levi's Stadium. The Americans are seeking their first World Cup knockout win since 2002 and their first victory over a European team since 2021. Despite being favored against Bosnia — considered a lesser European side compared to powerhouses like France or Spain — the U.S. team faces pressure to break two long-standing droughts.
