The United States men’s national soccer team (USMNT) has advanced to the knockout stages of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is being hosted on home soil. After securing the top position in Group D with wins over Paraguay and Australia, the USMNT will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32. This match, set to take place Wednesday night in the Bay Area, will determine which team moves on to the round of 16 and which team will be eliminated from the tournament.

The USMNT’s group stage performance included a 4-2 victory over Paraguay, a team that notably upset Germany in a penalty shootout to advance to the round of 16. The United States also defeated Australia 2-0 to clinch the group.

U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino has managed the squad carefully, resting several usual starters, though Christian Pulisic returned in the second half of recent matches after recovering from a calf injury.

The World Cup has also brought a surge of appreciation for America, with visitors from various countries enjoying their time in the U.S., boosting tourism, and sharing positive experiences on social media.
