How the US got here
Mauricio Pochettino’s squad topped Group D with a 2-1-0 record. The campaign opened with a commanding 4-1 demolition of Paraguay, followed by a 2-0 victory over Australia. The lone blemish was a 2-3 loss to Turkiye.
The expanded 48-team format for this World Cup means the knockout rounds begin at the round of 32 rather than the traditional round of 16.
