The USMNT meets Bosnia and Herzegovina at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco in the Round of 32 of the World Cup. A victory would propel the USA into the last 16 for the second time since 2002. Historically, the USA has struggled against European teams, with ten consecutive defeats. The match comes after the USMNT topped Group D but lost to Turkey in a dead-rubber match after resting players. The outcome carries financial implications, with $12 million at stake for a Round of 32 exit and $16 million for reaching the last 16. The tournament's success has generated significant buzz in the U.S., and an early exit could dampen momentum for the sport domestically.
