The United States men’s national team now knows the path ahead. After a dominant start to the 2026 World Cup on home soil, the Americans have secured their spot in the knockout stage with two commanding wins over Paraguay and Australia, clinching Group D in the process.
While the USMNT still has one group-stage match remaining against Turkey, the focus is already shifting to the round of 32. The team will face Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday, July 1, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The game promises to be a stern test for a squad riding high on momentum and eager to make a deep run in the tournament.
For head coach and players alike, the message is clear: the real battle begins now. With the group stage nearly wrapped up, the USMNT is preparing for a knockout clash that could define their World Cup journey.
If the Americans advance, the full knockout schedule awaits, but for now, all eyes are on Santa Clara and the challenge posed by Bosnia and Herzegovina.
