USMNT prepares for knockout stage against Bosnia and Herzegovina
Summary

The USMNT aims for success in the World Cup knockout stage, facing Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 28. Striker Folarin Balogun emphasized that group stage performance is irrelevant without advancing further. Despite a historic struggle against European teams, the U.S. holds confidence from strong group play, including a decisive 4-1 win over Paraguay. Players report good health ahead of the match, with notable performances expected from those who rested in the last fixture. A victory would set them up for a July 6 matchup against the Belgium-Senegal winner.
