The USMNT finished on top of Group D standings, capping the group stage with a 4-1 win over Paraguay and a 2-0 victory over Australia before a hard-fought 3-2 loss to Turkey.
What’s Next for the USMNT
The U.S. now turns to the Round of 32, where it will face Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This is the first real do-or-die match for the Americans in the tournament.
Should the U.S. get past Bosnia and Herzegovina, the path to the finals only gets steeper. A Round of 16 matchup would follow, then the quarterfinals, semifinals, and ultimately the final – five more wins in total standing between the Americans and a world title.
However, every match from the quarterfinals onward will be played on U.S. soil, meaning that if the Americans keep winning, the back half of their road to glory unfolds in front of home crowds.
