The USMNT faces a tough test against European opposition as it looks to advance to the round of 16 at a home World Cup on Wednesday, squaring off against Bosnia & Herzegovina in Santa Clara, Calif.
Enthusiasm for Mauricio Pochettino's side has surged following its impressive Matchday 1 showing against Paraguay, with genuine confidence growing that this talented generation of American soccer players could make history this summer.
Clinching Group D with a game to spare has set up a favorable round of 32 matchup on paper, yet the USMNT is acutely aware of its poor record against UEFA sides. The Americans have dropped 10 consecutive matches against European nations and are chasing their first World Cup victory over a European team since 2002.
Bosnia may not be a soccer powerhouse, but the playoff qualifiers are a resilient defensive outfit that has shown real strength from set-pieces throughout the tournament. The USMNT cannot take the Balkan side lightly, as they'll be eager to put a stop to American momentum.
Here's how to catch the high-stakes knockout stage clash on television.
