The US soccer team is set to face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the World Cup knockout stage, with the goal of achieving their first win in this stage since 2002. The team, led by manager Mauricio Pochettino, is heavily favored to win but has shown a leaky defense in previous matches.
Previous Matches
In their previous matches, the US team has shown both strength and weakness. They were able to rest their starters in the match against Turkey, but the team’s defense was exposed, conceding three goals. The team’s defense will need to improve if they are to succeed against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the other hand, has shown that they can defend well, holding strong against Canada in their opening match. They also showed attacking flair against Qatar in their final group stage match. The US team will need to be careful not to underestimate their opponents.
Key Players
One of the key players for the US team is defender Antonee Robinson, who has been consistent in his performances. Robinson, who plays for Fulham, has a strong connection to the US, as his father was brought up in New York. He will be crucial in helping the team’s defense against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The match against Bosnia and Herzegovina is scheduled to take place at 8 p.m. ET at Levi’s Stadium in the Bay Area. The winner of this match will face Mexico in the next round.
