The USMNT and Australia both know that a win in Friday's Group D showdown will advance them to the knockout stage of this summer's tournament.
The opportunity to secure a place in the last 32 and claim top spot is an irresistible prospect for the USMNT and their guests at Seattle's Lumen Field, with both teams arriving full of momentum.
The USMNT delivered a commanding 4–1 victory over Paraguay in their previous outing, producing one of their finest performances of the Mauricio Pochettino era, while Australia surpassed expectations by defeating Türkiye 2–0 to claim just their fifth World Cup win in history.
The pressure is on for Friday's clash, and the USMNT come in not only with home-field advantage, but also having already defeated Australia 2–1 in a friendly back in October. Can they replicate that result and punch their ticket to the knockout rounds?
Here's where you can catch the match on TV.
