The United States national soccer team is set to face Bosnia-Herzegovina in the World Cup round of 32 on Wednesday, seeking its first knockout win in 24 years. The team’s last knockout victory was on June 17, 2002, when it defeated Mexico 2-0 in the round of 16 in South Korea.
US Team’s Chances
The US team is favored to advance against Bosnia, according to oddsmakers. Star player Christian Pulisic is expected to play after recovering from a calf injury. ‘I feel good and ready to go for tomorrow,’ Pulisic said.
The US has one win in 21 games against European teams since making it back to the World Cup in 1990. England will face Congo, and Belgium will play Senegal in other elimination games on Wednesday.
World Cup Schedule
The round of 32 continues on Thursday with Spain playing Austria, Portugal taking on Croatia, and Switzerland facing Algeria. The round of 16 begins on Saturday.
