US Men's National Team Determined to Keep World Cup Journey Alive
The US Men's National Team is focused on their upcoming Round of 32 clash with Bosnia & Herzegovina in San Francisco, despite a 3-2 defeat to Turkey in their previous match. The team won Group D thanks to earlier victories against Paraguay and Australia.
USMNT forward Folarin Balogun notes a change in atmosphere as the stakes get higher. "It's knockout football, so you lose, you go home," he said. Balogun believes the team can step up, saying, "This is the business end and this is the stage where the big players step forward and carry the pressure."
The USMNT has a poor record in World Cup knockout stages, with only one win in nine matches. However, fullback Sergino Dest is confident, citing the team's experience and belief. "We've got a lot of more experienced players at the moment," he said. The team aims to follow co-hosts Canada into the Round of 16, who secured their spot with a 1-0 win over South Africa.
