THE USMNT ARE THROUGH! 🇺🇸
The United States defeated Bosnia & Herzegovina 2-0 in the Round of 32 to punch their ticket to the FIFA World Cup Round of 16!
Despite receiving a red card and playing the final 30+ minutes with just 10 men, Mauricio Pochettino’s squad showed incredible resilience, defensive discipline, and composure to protect the lead and finish off a memorable knockout victory.
